A Gilded Empire of Profit and Power
💰 Trade Rules the Stars 💰
From the ancient trade winds of Earth to the hyperspace lanes of the Outer Rim, the East Galactic Trading Company carries a legacy of commerce that spans centuries. Born from the storied Dutch East India Company, the EGTC rose to galactic prominence with a singular vision: to dominate trade across the stars. Their fleets are a breathtaking sight—sleek hulls adorned with golden filigree, engraved with scenes of ancient trade routes, each ship a floating testament to wealth and ambition. But beneath the opulence lies a ruthless edge, for the EGTC knows that profit demands power. Their vessels, from the swiftest light freighters to the mightiest super haulers, are armed to the teeth, ready to fend off Pirates, rival corporations, and colonial uprisings that threaten their trade empire.
The EGTC collection embodies this duality of elegance and strength. These ships are the lifeblood of the company’s operations, hauling exotic spices from gas giants, rare minerals from asteroid belts, and bioengineered flora from frontier worlds. The nimble Hastings Class darts through nebulae with high-value cargo, while the lightning-fast Hermes Class races to deliver perishable goods before they spoil. The steadfast Horatio Class forms the backbone of their trade runs, and the majestic Illustrious Class carries the wealth of entire colonies. At the pinnacle, the colossal Indispensable Class reigns as a super hauler, a floating palace of commerce that can supply whole systems. Guarding them all are the gilded SC Strike Fighters, swift protectors that ensure no raider dares to challenge the EGTC’s dominion. Each ship bears the company’s motto, “Profit Through Power,” a reminder that their gilded hulls are as much a weapon as they are a symbol. In the hands of the EGTC, trade is not just business—it’s conquest.
