Pierce Industries
Alexstrasza is the sole heir of Pierce Industries, since her father chose to retire on some sunny retirement planet. While the company was initially a convict transport and processing service with high costs and low reward, Alex quickly revolutionized the industry. Pierce Industries begun investing heavily in buying out valuable mining operations and sending out criminal prisoners to work the mines. The free labor, alongside the profits from the mines, brought Pierce Industries into a period of unprecedented success. Following this, Alex began rapidly expanding her empire, establishing a new mining colony every year or so.

Today, Pierce Industries runs 11 independent mining colonies. Most notably is its recent Project Horizon initiative - a series of establishments in the Epsilon 5 solar system in the furthest reaches of space so far. The aptly named "Asteroid Station 11" is its eleventh mining colony. However, in order to encourage trade in this empty, backwater region of space Pierce Industries has heavily funded Horizon Space Station (although it is technically not owned or run by them). Also nearby is the independent colony planet Ontalor, which supplies badly needed food and other resources to both space stations.
