So with the new Big Pharma Civic, I figure this is as good a time as any to share a few Civic concepts I've had rattling around in my head that have the general trend of "Adding Trade Value to things that otherwise don't currently have Trade Value."
Mineral Value Acquisition
This Megacorp specializes in scanning for and finding value in various rocks, minerals, gemstones, and other inorganic materials below surfaces.
Private Galactic University
This Megacorp prides itself on the acquisition of knowledge, as well as the sharing of it... for the right price.
Star Guardian Corp
This Megacorp looks to be an aegis to the stars, seeking out alien life to defend it from *other* alien life.
So many exotic markets, so little time. Fascinated by the potential of alien commodities, this megacorporation strikes out to go where no door to door salesman has gone before.
