Nebulex Extraction and Refining Corporation

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

History
Nebulex was founded in at the early on in the Domus Diaspora by a number of small Martian firms, who hoped to take advantage of the worlds the Odyssey Fleet would colonize. 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 bough so many claims they were able to muscle out any competitors, 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 as part of the Inner Colony Wars.

While Luyten's resources may not have been as abundant as Reach, it allowed Nebulex to gain a significant market share and a jumping off point in which they spread throughout the Perseus Quadrant. Often working with various colonization groups to help fund the settling of resource rich worlds, such Pharos and Levosia.

The company would start to see it's 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. The subsequent investigations would reveal these illegal actives and the costs of the various fines and lawsuits would see the company go bankrupt in 2475 and dissolved the same year.
