*A new independent branch of [[Mastopolos Mining]] has been established by its controlling shareholder, [[Senator]] [[Zemina Torval]]. The megacorp is owned by the powerful [[Mastopolos family]], and operates throughout the [[Empire]] and beyond. However, Torval's position as a majority shareholder has allowed her to exert a strong influence on its activities. Senator Torval confirmed her plans in a statement to The [[Imperial Herald]]: "Diversification is an effective strategy in the current business climate. [[Torval-Mastopolos Mining]] will have corporate autonomy, while offering the same mining and transportation services to an emergent client base." Marlon Royce, business analyst for [[Vox Galactica]], reported: "The persistent rumours of a rift between Zemina Torval and her cousin, CEO [[Gabriella Mastopolos]], may now be validated. Insiders report that after decades of working behind the scenes, Torval wishes to provide a more tangible legacy for her own children. Already she has set her sights on a [[Permits|permit-controlled]] system as the headquarters for this new company." As well as being renowned for her private wealth and corporate enterprises, Zemina Torval has been a prominent member of the [[Imperial Senate]] for decades. She has occasionally deputised as [[chancellor]], and is known to be an outspoken champion of the Empire's traditions.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61126c08ce96504d5325e317 GalNet: Zemina Torval Creates New Corporation]</ref> | |||

*The galaxy's largest [[Mega Corporation|megacorporation]] is continuing to influence the political arena and affect billions of lives. A review was published by Marlon Royce, business analyst for [[Vox Galactica]]: "With its own government, laws and naval fleet, it's not surprising that [[Sirius Corporation]] is occasionally referred to as 'the fourth superpower'. That now seems to be its actual goal, as its impact upon interstellar politics increases. When Sirius Corporation resettled the [[Marlinist refugee crisis|Marlinist refugees]] in [[Marlinist Colonies|their own colony systems]], it averted war between the [[Empire]] and the [[Federation]]. But this seemingly altruistic move enabled CEO [[Li Yong-Rui]] to claim political neutrality, gaining public support to host the [[Galactic Summit]] in the [[Sirius]] system. That success was undermined by the controversy of granting diplomatic status to pirate warlord [[Archon Delaine]]. Rumours of secret business dealings were reinforced when Sirius subsidiaries appeared alongside the [[Kumo Crew]]'s new [[starport]]s. High-level agreements were also made with the [[Alliance]], with Sirius Atmospherics aiding colonisation of the [[Coalsack Nebula]]. But some believe that its project to [[Terraforming|terraform]] [[Ammonia World|ammonia worlds]] brought retaliatory strikes from the [[Thargoid]]s and enormous casualties. The latest news is of a collaboration with [[Technology Broker|technology brokers]] to make a previously limited ship module commercially available. Is this a shrewd business decision, or part of Sirius Corporation's strategy of political dominance?"<ref name="Fourth Superpower">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60c8967b787beb3b8f5ee25b GalNet: Sirius Corporation: The Fourth Superpower?]</ref> | *The galaxy's largest [[Mega Corporation|megacorporation]] is continuing to influence the political arena and affect billions of lives.
