The Gem Guild is a large mining conglomerate that specializes in the refinement of rare earth minerals for the creation of megastructures and vrNet servers. The Gem Guild is not only headquartered but also the head of government for the planet Carbonia. The CEO and the head of state of Carbonia is Grubor Edelstein.
Due to aligning with the Insurgency during the Virtual Wars, the Gem Guild is considered a hostile organization by the Federation of Stellar Systems. Because the Federation has placed sanctions and trade restrictions on Carbonia, the Gem Guild conducts most of its business outside of Federation space as well as in the crminal underworld. Grubor Edelstein is also considered a wanted man by the Federation police.
Overview
The Gem Guild is fiercely competitive for mining rights, even resorting to violence to secure their deals. One such location they are trying to secure control over is an ancient Valerian forge on Rajada.
The Gem Guild, despite being highly profitable, led Carbonia into an economic ruin. This is because the Gem Guild, while being extremely prosperous, does not hire human laborers due to their workforce being completely automated with minimal oversight. This forced many Carbonians to partake in illegal activities to make a living - most notably, the black market sale of in-game currency for the Dreaming Kingdoms MMO.
Workforce
Most of the Gem Guild's manual labor force consists of robots and diminutive extraterrestrials known as Mogus. Only high-level executives in the company are actually human. The robots they use have algorithms that prioritize maximizing profits over safety regulations and the preservation of life. The Mogus, while they do have more autonomy, will usually serve willingly as it is in their inherit nature to seek out a leader to guide them. According to the Gem Guild, the Mogus' ability to obey orders and make repairs towards malfunctioning robots make them far more reliable than humans.
The Gem Guild's clientele are specifically geared towards large establishments, old money families and other wealthy individuals, especially those that became rich through illicit means.
Relationships
- Virtuoso - Relations are mixed. While Virtuoso is a common customer, the Gem Guild doesn't trust them due to also helping the Federation during the Virtual Wars.
- Taranis - Relations fractured after the Virtual Wars. Towards the end of the Virtual Wars, the Gem Guild abandoned them which led Taranis to losing control of critical infrastructures.
- Free Souls - Despite the Free Souls' anti-corporate stance, the Gem Guild secretly funds them purely to spite Virtuoso.
- Serpent's Fang - The Gem Guild's most reliable customer. The Serpent's Fang had been purchasing large quantities of building materials within the last few years, although their actual building project is highly secretive.
