DESCRIPTION
Crige Corporation was originally founded over a thousand years ago as an outer rim sand mining operation. The company found success and eventually expanded into other ventures, including transport. This in particular allowed the company to survive through the ages and various disasters. The company began over time to be more of an oversight and administration concern, overseeing many subsidiary specialized companies under the Crige umbrella. The company hasn't been involved directly in sand mining for centuries, though it maintains a corporate history honouring its humble roots and origins.

Though many of its subsidiaries are publicly listed and traded corporations, the company itself is privately owned by a few families including the Tarkin family of Eriadu. The influence of these families in large part directs and guides the course of the Crige Corporation and its holdings. Functioning in the modern galaxy as more of a sovereign wealth fund and capital investment firm than the manufacturing and mining business it once was, the company maintains traditions of efficiency that has kept it successful throughout galactic history.

The company makes investments into its subsidiaries, while maintaining oversight to ensure maximum efficiency and profit. The focus is on Engineering, Manufacturing, Mining, and Transport, as there is useful crossover between these industries, allowing for proprietary concepts, ideas, formulas and methods can be shared for the greater furthering of company interests. The company also presents a politically neutral and publicly generous face, by making charitable donations and contributions to civic projects across the galaxy.

RATIONALE
Crige shares are held by a cabal of wealthy families including the Tarkins. Family members own and control subsidiary corporations many of which are publicly listed and traded. The parent company is privately owned, however, making the pyramidial web of corporations a subservient source of endless income for the controlling families. The Tarkin family have been involved in Crige Corporation for many centuries, and Citra Tarkin holds some of the family's shares as well as sitting on the boards of several subsidiaries.

As most of the shares are held by a few families acting as silent partners, those members of the owning families who take an active role in the business wield an incredible amount of power and influence. Members of these families generally hold CEO positions of subsidiary corporations, or aspire to same. Advancement within this corporate hierarchy is much faster and made far easier to those who hold such connections through Crige Corporation. No matter how distant and dispersed a minor company might be in the web of corporations, all roads and profits lead back to Crige.
