SeaCorp Limited

SeaCorp Limited is a limited liability corporation that trades in commerce and shipping, although they also function as a bank, giving loans to the various factions of BC's world; just be sure to pay them back on time, hefty interest rates included, or else one may recieve a visit from the Piracy Deterrence Force.

History
Little is known about SeaCorp's origins, when they were founded, or even who founded them, the company's founder only being known as "The CEO". What is known about them, at least per former Odyssey Admiral Yuri Karkov, is that they were a company that profiteered off of the various wars involving the Uprising Retaliation and its splinter factions. The also financed the NBRM at one point, and so it's no surprise that when they defaulted on their loans, SeaCorps made up for the loss by salvaging their "Kommandflotte" and integrating the ships from it into the Piracy Deterrence Force. It's also no secret that they provided funding to the Odyssey, and it appears that the Odyssey has no intent on paying back the amount it owes, which, as shown by SeaCorp's actions, could result in an open war.

Operations
Operationally, SeaCorp Ltd functions as a spiritual successor to the East India Trading Company, possessing a powerful "Piracy Deterrence Force" both to enforce their monopoly on various forms of trade as well as to dispose of would-be "Pirates" attempting to avoid paying fees to the company in exchange for safe passage through their shipping lanes. However, they also function as a bank, and hand out loans to anybody willing to pay them off, usually with an interest rate of at least 60%. Should they default, however, the "Piracy Deterrence Force" will engage in a "Hostile Takeover" of the offending party and all of their assets, even if it's worth more than they owe.

Technically, this makes their operations highly illegal, but few are powerful enough to say anything about it without risking being overrun, and those parties tend to turn a blind eye  to SeaCorp as the copany is supposedly neutral, not carrying in the slightest who wins a war, so long as they turn a profit.

Personel

 * The CEO: the mysterious head of the company, the CEO holds controlling interest in the company (51% of its shares) and seems to be in direct operational command of the Piracy Deterrence Force.  Virtually nothing is known about him, not even what his face looks like, as he rarely meets anyone face to face (when he does his office is darkened and he's facing away from the door), and wears a balaclava to conceal his features when outside of his office.  Equally mysterious are his motives; is he simply a diehard Capitalist who wants profit for the sake of profit, or does he have an ulterior motive for his business decisions?

Piracy Deterence Force
The Piracy Deterence Force is an interesting mix of ships, some being armed merchant vessels, some being older combat vessels retired from other navies, and still others are state-of-the-art warships that are years or decades ahead of their time compared to other ships currently in service.
