TORIZE
Torize pays people to build cities. Most of that work is on Czerka worlds under contract, where Czerka supplies the minerals, the ships and the fees, and Torize is paid for each city finished. The rest is on asteroids Torize owns, which pay every week thereafter.
The company has run in one form or another for well over a decade — first inside a larger mining group, then under a second name, and under its own since. It operates today as a division of the Czerka Corporation, holding its own yards, its own prospecting fleet and its own ground.
There is no shopfront and no order book. Every credit comes from ground that has been built on, which is why the wages arrive on a clock rather than on a sale.
WHERE THINGS STAND
| The contract | City construction on Czerka worlds, and the work Torize exists to do. Czerka supplies the minerals, the ships and the fees; the cities are Czerka's; Torize is paid per city completed. Balis-Baurgh III is the current ground. |
|---|---|
| The crew | Four seats open, paid weekly from the first week. Two of them need no prior experience at all. Who works here. |
| The estate | Twenty-eight cities across thirteen asteroids, with a fourteenth rock under construction. |
| The ground | Nine prospecting fields held, six producing. A hundred and seven live deposits, ten mining operations running against them. |
| The yards | Sixty stations. Twenty-five shipyards and eight factory stations, thirty-two of them in production now. |
| The fleet | Warship and fighter groups building ahead of the combat release, to hold the cities and the yards that feed them. |
Figures as of Year 27, Day 284. What has changed since is in the Torize Times.
