*[[Torval-Mastopolos Mining]] and [[Wreaken Corporation|Wreaken Construction]] have both established a presence in the [[LTT 198]] system. Marlon Royce, business analyst for [[Vox Galactica]], reviewed the situation: "It is highly unusual for two [[Mega Corporation|megacorps]] to set up new headquarters in the same place. But [[Mastopolos Mining]] and Wreaken Construction have always competed aggressively for mining and transportation contracts, so it seems a new chapter in their rivalry has begun. This [[Permits|permit-locked]] system is controlled by the independent faction LTT 198 State Ltd. Insiders claim that it demanded a fortune from both corporations in return for granting passage to its ships and allowing construction of industrial complexes on the planet Dini. This is the first significant move from [[Senator]] [[Zemina Torval]]'s new company, an autonomous offshoot of Mastopolos Mining. It may be that Wreaken Construction's presence is an effort to crush their old enemy before she can acquire further corporate strength." The [[Imperial Herald]] reported that [[Constantia Torval]], one of Zemina Torval's daughters, has travelled from the [[Synteini]] system to LTT 198. It is believed Constantia has taken command of Torval-Mastopolos Mining's operations.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/611a5253646cf42d196fadaf GalNet: Rival Corporations Compete in LTT 198]</ref>

*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>
