Nebulex Extraction and Refining Corporation

Nebulex was a major human corporation during the Domus Diaspora and Pax Humana.

History
Nebulex was founded by several small Martian firms, who united near the beginning of the Domus Diaspora to take advantage of the many new colonies being founded at the time. Initially the the company focused on buying up various cheap claims that had been made by First Wave settlers but had been unable to exploit. This was most notable on Luyten, where they had bought so many claims they were able to muscle out, pioneer or diasporan. This fueled significant resentment among the pioneer population as they felt cheated by the company. That anger would be one of the causes for the Luyten Conflict during the Inner Colony Wars.

While Luyten's resources may not have been as abundant as Reach, it allowed Nebulex to gain enough money to be used to fund further exapnsions thoughout the Perseus Quadrant. Often working with various colonization groups to help fund the settling of resource rich worlds, such Pharos and Levosia. The Pax Humana period was the height of Nebulex's wealth and influence, being able to dominate the mining industry throughout the Perseus Quadrant.

The company would start to see its fortunate turn as new competitors rose on the backs of the Outer Colonies and Nebulex failed to keep up. This lead to the company engaging in a number of illegal and unethical cost-cutting measures to remain competitive. This would spell the downfall of the company after Nouveau Montreal, a barely profitable world, revolted in 2471. The subsequent investigations would reveal these illegal actives and the fines and legal fees would see the company go bankrupt and dissolve in 2475.
