Branch Office Removal

[Dan1109]

I actually don't want to remove the Branch Offices on my planet, however my partnering Megacorp is now a subject, and I am considering to integrate his empire (lots of good strategic space) - however, 75% of my energy comes from my own trade and I have to thank the MegaCorp's branch offices for a decent chunk of that (and their economy must completely rely on me, as their economy rating is up +400% due to the BOs they have with me).

I know there is a CB to remove them if I choose to do so, but I don't want that. I know Criminal Heritage BOs are removed on event due to crime reduction. But what happens if you annex or integrate the MegaCorp? Do their offices stay forever? Or are they all instantly removed? If its the former, what if I would actually want their offices gone after annexing/integrating them, so another MegaCorp can establish more BOs with me? Am I give an choices here or does it only relate to using the CB or integrating/annexing them or simply I'm stuck with them forever?

Playable-type empires need to own at least one colony to maintain their existence (unless some weird bug happens). A dead Megacorp can't have Branch Offices; depending on the circumstances, they would have to be either deleted or transferred to another Megacorp. (The only situation I can think of where the latter might happen is if one Megacorp annexes another, but I haven't tested that scenario.)

The only way you can keep the Branch Offices while annexing the Megacorp would be to first let another Megacorp take them over. Not sure what would be a good way to engineer this, though.
