"Justified Reputation for all your needs"

- The Corporation's slogan

Dormant Corporation is a large corporation that primarily serves the Civilian Private Sector.

Description

Founded in 2327 by aspiring corporate investor Percy Delvin, the early years were shaky as the bigger, more complex Interplanetary Corporations attempted to monopolise the markets. Over the years, as their business planners and advisers became more experienced, the Dormant Corporation grew to become an essential part of the Human economy and by the 2500's it became one of the largest corporations in Human Space, rivaled only by mining Giants such as BXR (though military munitions companies started to gain prominence during this time).

Much of Dormant's income came through the private sector, though they also had one company responsible for developing new weapons for the UNSC (and some illegitimate groups that are interested).

Products

Dormant Corporation, like rival JOTUN, specialises in developing new products for civilian purposes, such as agricultural systems and crops, home appliances, and business analytic/survey programs. However, unlike JOTUN, Dormant is very adaptable and has many corporations which fill every civilian nich there is in existence, from small-business software, to industrial production to genetically modified crops for large-scale harvesting.

Notable Subsidiaries

Mod-A-Job Genetics
Formed in 2376, Mod-A-Job Genetics was created to deal with a highly profitable market to develop plants to assist in terraforming. Using survey gleamed from the mother company, Mod-A-Job Genetics spent 3 years testing with plants before they officially entered the contest. They developed a plant that not only churned out tonnes of oxygen (for atmospheres), but also died & decomposed quickly, so larger species could thrive in the high-nutrient soil. They also developed specialised crops for different purposes.

However, they didn't always work in high-profile civic and industrial areas. One of the best (and least well-known) examples is when ONI purchased plans and results for augmentations on animals (which never effectively took-off). Using this knowledge, they designed their own plans for humans, leading to the creation of the SPARTAN-series.

OutCol Banking
The biggest company under the control of Dormant, The Bank of OutCol (or the Outer Colonies) is intended to put at ease the fears that the richer, larger Inner-Colony banks would take advantage of them. OutCol operates proudly (and solely) in the Outer Colonies, and were dependable and reliable enough to take care of business loans. However, they did have a sizable mercenary force after the war, which 'encouraged' their clients to pay-up.

Kingslander Shipbreaking Limited

One of the newest companies brought into the fold, Kingslander is unique among the other subsidiaries as it was bought by Dormant, instead of merely being created to deal with a 'market problem'. One of the smaller shipbreaking companies formed to deal with aging, obsolete ships (since they don't double as garbage solutions), Kingslander was originally intended to give Dormant entry into the military contracting, though the likes of Sinoviet and the Hera court case stopped almost any hope for this, and killed their civilian market as well.

Torpedo Building Solutions

One of the biggest in its field, Torpedo held a special in the heart of the Corporation's original founder, Percy Delvin, as it was the first-ever subsidiary ever created for the Corporation. In its original role, it fulfilled all planetside structures construction, maintenance and demolition. In their more recent additions, they are subcontracted to assist in construction of orbital structures, such as drydocks, and minor ship repairs. They have their Corporate Headquarters on Io, the Volcanic moon of Jupiter.
