Prell Consortium

"'Well. Ships, food, weapons, clothing are one thing.....our technology sector is another. Making around 40% of my business, it is the biggest by far.' - Laria Prell"The Prell Consortium is a megacorporation founded by Elon Prell and today led by Julian Prell with origins on the Old Republic and a ex-Imperial warlord faction based on the planet of Corellia and is affiliated with the Second Galactic Empire.

It is one of the strongest companies in the post-Imperial world due to its advantage of having a planet for themselves, its extensiveness from the previous generations and because they are one of the biggest Imperial loyalists and suppliers out there. The Consortium controls the Corellian Shipyards, one of the biggest producers of ships in the galaxy meaning it has a monopoly on several corvette class ships such as CR90s.

Structure
The Prell Consortium is organized as a normal corporation would, having several departments which are ranging from technology to entertainment, which are detailed as it follows:

Computer Parts Department
Composing 30% of the Prell Consortium and by far, its largest department, the computer parts department is one of the most profitable. Supplying many droid companies with processing units, circuits and other parts, it's parts can be found in many droids ranging from battle droids such as B1's to astromechs such as a R2 unit.

Corellian Engineering
Corellian Engineering is a well known engineering corporation, heavily successful for producing freighters and small military vessels such as the corvette - the CR90 or the blockade runner. Nationalised during the days of the Empire, it would only come into Prell ownership when the Empire fell, and the Prell Consortium temporarily became an Imperial Remnant faction. Having bought just over 50% of Corellian Engineering's shares, the Prell Consortium effectively have ownership of it and the ship engineering industry accounts for 23% of the Prell Consortium's operations.

Weapons
The weapons department is responsible for the production of several arms intended for fighting and self defense, both big and small weapons all across the galaxy. It composes 15% of the Prell Consortium and is one of the biggest suppliers to the Second Galactic Empire.

Processed Food
The Processed Food Department mainly creates ration packs, mainly thinking on making it for the army but also great for travellers, essentially like protein bars, nutrition shakes and powders which upon the addition of water, become solid edible food.

Clothing/Apparel
The Clothing/Apparel department is mainly focused on creating textiles and robes. It is something high end, not mass market but not too niche clothing brand either, generally made for the higher working class to middle class. It is as big as the Processed Food Department. The Consortium have stakes in many clothing brands and have come to buy the ownership of a popular high end shoe brand. It's own brands, Prell and Ultimate are popular goods, with Ultimate being a very high end brand.

Entertainment
The smallest department by far, composing around 2% of the Prell Consortium. The entertainment department focuses mainly around holomovies, hologames and things similar, but has struggled to grow and find itself a bigger market due to opponents such as Cord-Corps. In order to compete, the Prell Consortium has tried to partner with Cord-Corps and together, they have been working on a new holopad device, with the Consortium providing the hardware and Cord-Corps providing the software.

Raw Materials
The Raw Materials Department focuses on exportation and refinery of important raw resources such as fuel that are essential, or of ores such as durasteel or even iron alloys itself. It normally exports these materials to the Second Galactic Empire having made an agreement with them but mainly, the raw materials are sent through the production line for use in the Prell Consortium's other departments such as the computer parts department or Corellian Engineering.

Banking/Finance
It is the administrative department of the Prell Consortium that manages the finances of the Consortium as a whole as well as provide loans and mortgages, and storing money for Corellian citizens. Whilst like the InterGalactic Banking Clan, the Prell Consortium banks are merely for civilian and corporate use, providing credit cards, mortgages and loans for them. Prell Consortium workers often have benefits with the Prell Consortium financial department as the Consortium aims to ensure its workers are housed, insured and have pensions etc. and this would all be done through the banking/finance department.

The Age of the Consortium (94 BBY-7 ABY)
The Prell Consortium was originally a family bussiness which began in Corellia within the last century of the Old Republic in 94 BBY, founded by Elon Prell, a avid entrepreneur who using family savings started a small electronics and parts bussiness within the planet of Corellia, the business eventually grew and several decisions were implemented to make production more effective, as creating their own parts to reduce costs which would eventually lead to the Corellian Engineering department, buying shares in suppliers and companies who would eventually pave the way for the Raw Materials department and so on.

As the family grew, so did the business too and the various children coming from Elon and then nephews, nieces, grandchildren all had different ideas and businesses in other industries ranging from clothing to entertainment which would led to new departments being open under the family name and so the business growing even more to new different areas and, within Corellia, many companies were bought, founded or influenced by the Prell family which became a big name within the upper circles in Corellia, eventually as the Clone Wars started shares were bought in the shipyards as the family saw that the warfare industry would boom.

It was at around this time when the Consortium managers were discussing relocating to the Corporate Sector to exploit its many advantages, mainly having control of their planets and not having any restrictions on what they could do and what they couldn't. They would become neutral and gain the ability to sell to anyone was a great upside upside but the main downside was having to leave Corellia which would invalidate many of their shares and companies within the planet. The Republic eventually pressured them into staying in Corellia as they were providing thousands of jobs and were a big player in the local economy.

In 19 BBY once the Clone Wars ended and the Galactic Empire rose in place of the New Republic, their business in weapons, ships and electronics would boom as the Empire buyed more and more of their products eventually becoming their biggest customer, sadly for the family, the Empire eventually wanted to take over the company and use its products for their own goals and this was a drawback to the Prell company growth. Due to nationalization the Prells lost many industries including one of their biggest achievements- the Corellian Shipyards and this was a giant blow to the company as it lost many of their progress through the years.They had to take drastic and even criminal measures investing in foreign accounts and exploiting loopholes so that they could maintain their wealth during this period of time. At this point they decided that moving to the Corporate Sector would be a priority as leaving Corellia was not a drawback anymore but a advantage, so they invested a lot in various CSA businesses. Though their plans would ultimately be put on hold when Endor happened and the Empire fell, and thus the galaxy was shaken upside down.

With the fall of the Empire and signing of the Concordance, the Empire was allowed territory in the Inner Core and Rim...however this Empire would fragment leaving behind Corellia to fight it out, they begin to break certain rules in the treaty and New Republic is forced to take action, most of the Empire had fleed to the Unknown Regions led by Admiral Rae Sloane. Only two planets, Kuat led by the reincarnation and Corellia led by the Prell family choose not to surrender and formed the Reincarnation and Consortium respectively as two separate remnant factions.

Julian Prell would end up becoming a warlord governing a small remnant of the Empire. For the Prell family this was a chance to turn Corellia into a mini Corporate Sector where they could govern their own worlds and do what they wanted. But first they had to fight for territory and defend against foes. They would not just settle with their 1 planet, eventually Duros was conquered along surrounding planets estabilishing the Consortium as a major power within Imperial politics.

The Imperial Age (5 ABY-13 ABY)
After the Prell Consortium was settled as a proper Imperial remnant, many things ranging from political reforms to the estabilishment of a army and navy under warlord Julian Prell were made, those reforms would eventually prove essential to defend Corellia from New Republic attacks and intimidate the New Republic a little to give them enough time to prepare.

However the independence of Corellia would not be so long lived as eventually a suprise attack from the Imperial Federation, with a fleet containing over a hundred ships would nearly completely annihilate the Prell Consortium, a Ultimatum was sent from the current leader of the Federation- Ichavi Kanon and after much discussion, the Prell Consortium yielded to the Federation and together formed a union called the Confederacy to Restore the Empire, this shifted the balance of power in the region highly in favor of the Confederacy and Corellia was now able to defend itself easier, this eventually managed to scare off a attack from Admiral Ackbar.

Julian however would manage to eventually take the title of Federator after a failed campaign where most of the Federation representatives were lost, whilst new ones were appointed by then there was no chance and soon, Julian would become Emperor of the Confederacy and Ichavi Kanon would flee with her fleet towards the Unknown Regions, to seek out the sixth mysterious remnant and eventually prepare for revenge.

After Julian made a deal with Darg Saedrin, a series of events led to the Consortium being taken over and merging into other Remnants to form the Second Galactic Empire. With the political changes, the Consortium would no longer a political regime but once again a corporate entity that intends to make the most of its new customers. Its efforts in either joining the CSA or being like the CSA were interrupted again. The new Second Galactic Empire would still be their biggest economy and at least they weren’t getting nationalized by them but the Prells wanted more and they felt that they had lost.

During 7ABY to 10ABY, it has started to trade more with the New Republic and is trying to grow its business and influence outside of the Empire into new markets. In 10ABY, negotiations with the Chancellor allowed the Prell Consortium to set up a subsidiary called the Prell Corporation. The Prell Corporation being on the Stock Market grew fast and is already a successful business in just a few weeks though the Prells are now worried that a hostile takeover by the seemingly nationalized or at least influenced companies of the New Republic. The Prell family looks for new ways to bypass the regulated economies of the New Republic and Second Empire and once again, they look towards the Corporate Sector Authority.

The Corellian Crisis
Around 13 ABY a pirate crisis had started due to a joint alliance between several crime syndicates to disrupt the balance of the galaxy, the Corellian Run trade route was highly attacked as a result of this and unrest and crime grew up in their planets as people were more and even more scared of the possible result, in the state of such things deals were made in the New Republic to increase the Consortium power within it.

Corellia eventually gained several opposition factions that mainly wanted, each wanting to overthrow the Prell government and they face their biggest challenge yet ever since the Old Republic, those are the Black Sun, the CURF and the Corelian Collective. Each detailed as it follows:

The Black Sun: Suspected to hold connections within the Prell Family, the Black Sun is by far the largest and hardest opposition faction to exterminate within the planet of Corellia. It is respoCnsible for a large part of the chaos and unrest in Corellia and is a catalyst that eventually led to the formation fo the Collective and of the CURF.

Corellian Collective: The Corellian Collective is a alliance between several minor criminal syndicates and business owners dissatisfied with the Prell Dominance over Corellia. Being responsible for a good part of smuggling operations and having deals with the CURF and with the Sun, it has been motivated by the rise of crime within Corellia due to the Black Sun and is often a neutral party used between the Prells and the surrounding factions within the planet, it provides several services to smugglers such as safe passage, bribing guards or fake ID's.

CURF: The Corellian United Rebel Forces is the main faction responsible for the pro-New Republic sentiment within the planet, formed out of veterans of the civil war and old pro-rebellion citizens dissatisfied with the Empire, and growing due to the parcipation of spies and by the people themselves, all uniting to attempt to free Corellia from the grasps of the Empire, it is by far weirdly the most peaceful faction and sees hope that the Prells will change things themselves, it plans to organize a big march within the city soon known as the "March of Billions".

Behind the Scenes
The Prell Consortium was one of the oldest and the very first faction within the Remnant Reborn servers, sugey doens't minds being taken over by the SGE or the CRE or losing events such as the Corellian Crisis and its founder is inspired by Elon Musk.
