Here is my idea, let's see if anyone jump along in team, or I'll just nag somebody to let me in.
The Parsec Delivery and Support was born after the first wave of initial colonization, where the system economy crunch put strains on government agencies budgets. The army quickly externalized their support and logistic branch, and for a while the PDS was extremely profitable and outgrew its client. Focusing on other clients with its new found richness, the company started to fail some army contracts, opening up the side for the creation of a parallel internal logistic branch within the army.
From there it started losing lot of the army contracts, due internal power struggles of the newly founded army branch against the external contractor. With the cash crunch from the sudden cancellation of most of the army contracts, the fleet operation costs quickly became out of control, most of the operational asset were sold to reduce running costs and only the smaller, most profitable operation remained under the control of the original PDS company.
Now a former shell of what it once was, the Parsec Delivery and Support is looking for new opportunities from other corporations and commercial venues.
I'd just need some tuning on the starting assets, from the starting post it seems that a corporation has quite a lot of stuff to purchase.
