Not for the Deep Space Beacons, but a communications company ferrying messages between systems by ship and within systems would be valid.

[] Green Horizons Colonization LTD
-[] A smaller company that has grown rapidly in the wake of the explosion of civilian warp vessels, Green Horizons has gone from building specialist supplies for colonization efforts to organizing and funding said efforts themselves-with a generous helping of grants to scoot the work along, of course.
Here's my proposal for an auto-colonization ISC. Named it after the sod-farm that I worked at in Highschool lol.

[ ] Worldbuilders Yeeni-tani
- [ ] Formed of a merger between a Yeeni run landscaping company and a near-defunct Human corporation with supposed roots in terraforming as far back as the Dark Age of Technology (not that any archaeotech remains to provide evidence), Wob-Yee is determined to use modern methodologies and synergies to improve the many worlds of the Glimmering Federation and remediate the many battlefields and ecological disasters brought on by Imperial and Chaotic conflict and growth!
Aiming for something that would help with colonization, ideally by cutting down on the negative industry costs to some extent. Also want to "sneak" in a reference.

Want weird holy Disney Land that also provides bodyguards and vestments? We got it! Want a Colonization Company that's definitely not building themselves a bubble but is expanding rapidly? We got it. Want the Space Wobblies? Oh boy we got it!
I might be willing to replace Green Horizons with other Food-y, Colonization-y, options!

My understanding was that we vote for all the companies we want and then the ones with the most votes would be given traits and then from there another vote. @HeroCooky Clarification on this?

Keep in mind people, first and foremost these are going to be companies that are going to be giving us a tangible bonus for us to actually give a shit enough to give them our patronage. Just keep in mind this going to affect our gameplay and our incredibly limited action department, so think about what this can do for us.

@HeroCooky what kind of ISCs will have the choice of trait that will reduce the action cost of building infrastructure? Iirc one of the reasons for picking it was to mitigate the two action per Development cost that we have now.
- Pronouns
- He/Him
Basically, the ISCs could give us a discount on only a certain type of Industry, which means if we patron one ISC, they could give us a discount on Food Industry, but nothing else. Just like how one ISC could give us a discount in building a specific class of ship, but nothing else.
The bonuses are meant to be incredibly specific, so even if we do go for making all 3 of the ISCs here Industry related, we'll still need to spend double to actions to get 1 point in most of our infrastructure.

[X] Triple Helix Genetics Unlimited
-[X] Intent on spreading the practice of vat grown clone lines to less developed worlds, Triple H promises to genetically survey the entire Glimmering Federation to categorize and clone the best gene lines available. So far, their business makes it's money by selling designer kids to integrated nobility who want to ape the ways of the core station, the sale of off brand, civilian thules to planetary defense forces, and aiding colonization with bespoke gene mods. Small print warns that Education and training of cloned people, vital to the Thule's success, is the responsibility of the customer.
[X] Little Candle Candy Shop
-[X] A massive conglomerate with holdings on all worlds in the Federation, the Little Candle Candy shop maintains massive plantations growing the famous spiced chocolate, and a small variety of local delicatesse to supplement that income. In the word's of it's CEO, it's end goal is a shop on every corner, and a chocolate bar in the hand of every child. Medical experiments to ensure that tolerated xenos can enjoy chocolates are currently hotly debated in the boardroom.
[X] Far Horizons

The corporation, formed by humans but with plentiful Kil'drabi and even some Yeeni engineers and employees aim to construct a massive space telescope, hoping to survey near space. What they aim to see? Well, what could they not see. Maybe they'd find another Kil'drabi fleet. Warnings of distant enemies? New friends to talk with. The possibilities are endless.

[ ] Schischi Family & Co.
-Grown from the nobility of Droma III, the Schischi company was founded hundreds of years ago, during the birth of the Glimmering federation. They meant to take advantage of the newfound peace present within the Archwan sub-sector and leverage the accumulated logistics expertise of the nobility of Droma III, developed over thousands of years of running ocean fleets. In the following time they followed the expansion of the federation, filling the voids of interstellar trade and developing expertise to manufacture products to met the demands of the people. Over time they learned that the demands of Federation were many, and the importance of flexibility to ensuring success. When medical care was sparse, the Schischi Company specialized in manufacturing and transporting medicine and medical instruments, then switched to building small mining vessels to help develop the federation's void industry. The motto of the Schischi company now is Adapt to the Demand of the Moment, and they will always stand ready to take advantage of novel opportunities.
(Goal here is to make a company that can, on a delay and with patronage or action investment switch between boosting different things)

[ ] Organized Gentlegryn and Respectable Yeeni 'Ncorperated (O.G.R.Y.N)
- O.G.R.Y.N Started life as a contractor agency, Helping Ogryn who find themselves unfit for military service find work in the civilian sector with the guidance of Yeeni Employees who are trained in counselling and guiding these contractors. Between the the Ogryns unmatched physique, O.G.R.Y.N swiftly found itself the market leader due to the saving's that could be made from not being forced to rent, or outright purchase the heavy machinery required for the job.
This position as a Market leader saw O.G.R.Y.N swiftly grow, Hiring More Ogryn, and more yeeni, expanding across the Federation even as its expanded its operation from just Contrated work crews to include a diverse selection of Labour adjacent jobs. Some have based this unprecedented effectiveness and market growth on the yeeni Crew leaders, who were capable of utterly captivating the attention of the Ogryn in their crew, Possibly due in part to their appearance. Others have seen the success of O.G.R.Y.N as a market niche being filled, In this case ethical Contracting with Ogryn employees. Other still claim that the Booming growth of O.G.R.Y.N is due to a large demographic of Injured Ogryn who couldn't find work anywhere else.
No matter the real cause, O.G.R.Y.N has seen itself undergoing rapid growth, Opening branches on Multiple planets across the federation despite it modest origins on Perfinda.

Hm...then it would seem that the best option would be for us to have 2 active ICSs and one with a passive trait we can leave on whenever we aren't using the other two.
I'm hoping Green Horizons could function as that, giving us automated progression on Colony Development when selected, but another option is something like:
[] Jack and Trades All-Purpose Development Inc
-[] More a massive alliance of skilled laborers and small businesses than a proper corporation, Jack And Trades (originally founded by two men of the same names) have the resources to handle just about any construction or infrastructure job you might have need for-from farmland to hospitals, factories or foundries, mines or resorts, if it can be built, Jack and Trades can find the people to put it together for you-though the nature of the industry means that progress on a national scale is pretty damn slow.
My intent for this one would be an auto-progress ticker for any kind of building action-be it Dev levels or one-off projects like Teelns' Tomb. The kicker, is that the ticks would only be 0.1-0.2, and what project gets the progress each turn is completely random.
