Bank of Zaonce: Difference between revisions

Early in Zaonce's colonial history, in 2682, a former [[Federation]] banking executive named Herschel Derrey moved to the colony and set up a family banking business. He and his extended family spread their business around the world. In only a decade and by 2693 they had earned a reputation as a level headed and reliable financial establishment. Derrey's daughter Emily brokered a loan on an undisclosed, but sizeable sum of credits to an up and coming spacecraft manufacturer named [[Faulcon DeLacy|Faulcon Manspace]] in exchange for stock options. Six years later, when the Viper was unveiled, profit rolled in and the stock options for Faulcon Manspace suddenly became vastly profitable to her family. Buoyed by this financial victory, Derrey took over several other banking concerns on the world until his corporation was the sole financial establishment on the planet, although operating under different brands. They adopted the name Bank of Zaonce in 2718.<ref>Tourist Spot 0243, "The Bank of Zaonce"</ref>
