Someone recently asked if I had a writeup for MixCorp that I could share for them to include in the library data for their Traveller Universe and I was happy to dash something off for them. Today, it occurred to me that having a sampling of homegrown corporations in one place might be useful. So, I'll share mine and hope you'll share yours in turn.
MixCorp
MixCorp is based out of Vincennes (Debeb Sector 1122), where they have an expansive TL16 shipyard. They have subsidiary TL15 yards in a number of other systems across Charted Space, all in the process of stepping up to TL16 over the next decade.
The company was founded by the Mixon family--originally from Terra--but that was a long time ago. They are spread out across Charted Space with ship building being their primary specialty though robot design and construction is catching up fast. Many believe--and rightly so--that MixCorp is angling to one day become a megacorporation. Perhaps even sooner than some would guess.
The company is privately held but has lots of subsidiaries in different areas that have, on occasion, competed against one another. Usually nothing too destructive, but annoying to the higher ups. Lots of jockeying for research and operational funds. Let's just say that family reunions can get... spirited.
Whatever they have going on in-house, they present a united front to any outsiders, and bring the entire company to bear on the malefactor with the unofficial motto "He's an ass, but he's our ass. Only we get to screw with him."
The current head of the Mixon clan, Terry Mixon, has visions of exporting TL16 far and wide, and is pushing skilled people and technical infrastructure to MixCorp subsidiaries across Charted Space. He thinks big and anyone that sells MixCorp short will find themselves on the wrong end of the official MixCorp motto, "Step into the future or be left in the past."
