Headquarters: Molinar VII

The first true MegaCorp in the modern sense of the word, Galactic Energy Supplies is the most powerful (literally) of the MegaCorps in operation in the Orion Sphere. It was founded in the Ascendancy in 1345PT, after a series of mergers and hostile takeovers between a cluster of power generation and storage companies that remained outside the direct control of the major Houses. At that period in Terran society, the majority of energy generation was done locally, for the demands of the immediate facility or world.

After a period of consolidation, their massive infrastructure allows them to develop energy projects that would be impossible without their expertise and resources. GES begin to decouple themselves from the Ascendancy's authority.

1650 PT - GES's Energy Chits become the de-facto currency across known space. This offers a consistent benchmark for inter-system trade.

2570 PT - GES announces expansion of its operations into Elysian-held territory.

2610 PT - GES scientists release information describing the application of Yurian Lattice Plasma to provide a short-term capacity boost to plasma-based energy storage systems. It quickly becomes clear that this knowledge was part of GES-Elysian data exchange. The Commonality had been aware of the energy storage applications of the rare plasma phase for several centuries.

2704PT - Rastan Particles first detected, in the America Nebula. These strangely elongated particles can be used to significantly boost the efficiency of powered devices and systems. GES immediately commissions a fleet of ships to collect substantial quantities of the particle for further research.

3410 PT - GES announce an accord with the Dominion to provide power generation and supply within their conquered territory. Although peace now exists between the Factions, the complexity of the published deal suggests at least some cooperation and talks prior to the cease-fire of 3408.

3770 PT - The Spacer Collective announces a joint venture with GES to provide energy storage and supply at their stations.

For essentially all advanced civilisations, the basis of exchange is energy – the ability to do work, and the essential component in making our will into reality. Galactic Energy Supplies specialise in generating power, which forms the core of the galactic economy. As well as generating energy, they also store it and distribute it to those who can pay, without bias or favour. They have developed a plethora of technology for generating and storing energy, many of which are held as tightly controlled trade secrets. GES “energy chits” form the most universally accepted currency in Known Space.
