Acumen-Francs Panuniversal Conglomerate

Overview
The Acumen-Francs Panuniversal Conglomerate was the largest and most influential human polity during the age of multiversal corporate anarchy. Starting off as just a spacecraft manufacturer- Acumen Industries, it quickly grew in value and began the process of mass-buying out of any and all smaller companies. Those that refused to be absorbed were strong-armed with Acumen's large private military force.

Eventually Acumen innovated in translocation and propulsion technology enough to continously short-sell and undercut their rival- Francs Heavy Industries and absorbed them as well. After forming the monolithic Acumen-Francs Panuniversal Conglomerate, Acumen's board of directors became the most powerful men in human space and Acumen-Francs the de-facto nation-state for most humans.

Acumen-Francs was a standard publicly traded company, with all members being both employees and shareholders, contracts usually being permanent and restrictive and quality of life almost directly correlated with income and position on the corporate ladder.

Acumen-Francs had many enemes and rivals, with the most significant being the older Milky-Way Fabrication company and the anti status-quo Anti-Corporatist Syndicate who would eventually embroil most of known space into a brutal war that would result in the dissolution of the meta-corporate system and civil order.
