'''Torval-Mastopolos Mining''' is an independent branch of [[Mastopolos Mining]] based in [[LTT 198]] that offers mining and transportation services. It was created by [[Empire|Imperial]] [[Senator]] [[Zemina Torval]], the majority shareholder of Mastopolos Mining, in August 3307 after Torval sought to take on a more visible role in the corporation and burnish her legacy for [[Torval family|her children]]. Senator Torval placed her daughter, [[Constantia Torval]], in charge of the branch's operations. Although it continues to operate under the Mastopolos Mining umbrella, Torval-Mastopolos Mining is empowered to act autonomously from its parent company. In addition to headquarters facilities in Torval Orbital and on the planet Dini in LTT 198, the branch also possesses a [[megaship]], the Pride of Bitterwood stationed in EGM 559. | '''Torval-Mastopolos Mining''' is an independent branch of [[Mastopolos Mining]] based in [[LTT 198]] that offers mining and transportation services.

*[[Senator]] [[Zemina Torval]] has relinquished her long-held position as [[Mastopolos Mining]]'s majority shareholder. Official reports confirmed that the board of directors passed a resolution to remove Zemina Torval from their number. Over half of her shares were then sold, thereby drastically reducing her personal influence on the corporation. An anonymous insider gave a statement to The [[Imperial Herald]]: "[[Gabriella Mastopolos]] made it crystal clear to the other shareholders that it was time to topple Zemina Torval from her perch. But what surprised them was Torval's lack of resistance to this pressure... almost as if she had been planning to step down all along. I've heard that every [[Credits|credit]] made by selling the shares went straight into the subsidiary that her daughter is running. So maybe all her eggs are going into that basket?" In related news [[Constantia Torval]], operations director for Torval-Mastopolos Mining, made an announcement: "I am proud to announce that the people of [[LTT 198]] have elected Torval-Mastopolos Mining to replace LTT 198 State Ltd as their controlling authority. [[Permits]] to gain entry to the system can be earned via the Pride of Bitterwood [[megaship]], which remains in the nearby EGM 559 system."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6157152aad8195320435576a GalNet: Torval Loses Control of Mastopolos Mining]</ref> | |||

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>A new [[starport]] has become operational in the [[LTT 198]] system, following [[Senator]] [[Zemina Torval]]'s mining initiative. Torval Orbital will serve as the administrative headquarters for Torval-Mastopolos Mining. The company successfully competed against [[Wreaken Corporation]] to establish a presence within LTT 198. [[Marlon Royce]], business analyst for [[Vox Galactica]], observed: "[[Mastopolos Mining]] should be boasting about the positive start for its new subsidiary. Instead, its reaction has only confirmed the widening rift between the [[Mastopolos family]] and their corporation's majority shareholder, Zemina Torval. CEO [[Gabriella Mastopolos]] officially distanced herself from the offshoot company, claiming it 'hijacked our name with the intention of luring our clients'. And speaking to [[Empire|Imperial]] media, both Adrian and Elena Mastopolos criticised [[Constantia Torval]]'s suitability to act as operations director. Speculation persists as to why the families have become estranged. For now, Zemina Torval seems to be focusing solely on her direct descendants. With her youngest daughter [[Petra Torval]] becoming a fellow senator, and grandson [[Titus Torval]] promoted to a senior role in [[Imperial Intelligence Service|Imperial Intelligence]], the future seems bright for the [[Torval family|Torval dynasty]]."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61320f48d158dd4bf33a0fc7 GalNet: Torval Orbital Established]</ref> | *<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>A new [[starport]] has become operational in the [[LTT 198]] system, following [[Senator]] [[Zemina Torval]]'s mining initiative.
