Paid work building cities
Torize pays people to build cities on asteroids it owns, which pay every week thereafter. It also builds on Czerka worlds under contract, where Czerka supplies the minerals and the ships and keeps the finished cities.
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. Czerka supplies the minerals and the ships; the cities are Czerka's; Torize is paid per city completed. |
|---|---|
| The crew | Three seats open, each with a weekly retainer on top of mission pay from the first week. Freight needs no prior experience at all. |
| The estate | Twenty-eight cities across thirteen asteroids, every one of them paying on the weekly run. |
| 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. |
Cities as of Year 27, Day 319; fields, deposits and yards as of Day 289. What has changed since is in the Torize Times.
