Overview -
Unlike the other two powers of Sol, the Territories are the possessions of the fabulously wealthy Kurogasai Corporation. It was Kurogasai who worked on the advanced terraforming techniques that the Commonwealth required for the 'Freerunner' Program, and in return for their work they asked for, and received, possession of the major moons of Jupiter, something eagerly granted by the Commonwealth's leaders. After moving to Callisto in 2042, Kurogasai implemented a policy of relative isolation, fed by rumours of genetic manipulation and unethical lines of research. Ever since, the Corporation has moved to occupy the other major moons, amongst which the already decidedly low population has been split.
National Characteristics -
Despite its foundation as a Japanese business, the Corporation of 2050 is a decidedly multi-ethnic society. Kurogasai itself is now so large that it operates as an umbrella, allowing smaller sub-groups of businesses to undertake work in the Territories. Those few citizen-shareholders of Kurogasai seen abroad are often marked by social recluse, and in extreme cases, cybernetic enhancements.
Population -
Callisto: 150 million
Europa: 3 million

Ganymede: 1 million
Total: 200 million

Total: 43 Labs
Shipyards -
Callisto: One 3x2000t naval yard, one 2x15,000t commercial yard.
Europa: N/A
Io: N/A
Ganymede: N/A
Total: Two (2x) Shipyards
Ground Forces -

Fleet -
While the corporation's 'fleet' is unique in lacking any form of true mobile armed platform, the Kurogasai Defence Unit doesn't lack for means with which to defend the territory of the Kurogasai Corporation, thanks to the development of the Tatsumaki-class satellites. Free from having to man armed vessels, with the implications for security and trust that such would bring, the KDU adopted a policy of observing manoeuvres conducted by both the Commonwealth and the Republic in mid-2048. Most people tend to discount the KDU as being little more than overpaid watchmen, but those who've met the keenly attentive liaison officers from it have been quick to adjust their own views.
Ship Designations -
KS - Kurogasai Ship
KSA - Kurogasai Survey Auxiliary
Ever since the institution of the isolation policy by Kurosagai, the Tatsumaki-class platforms have been erected in orbit of the corporation's claimed territories, and are armed with particle beams developed independently by the corporation, using advantage of the longer-range of such a weapon to overcome the lack of mobility. Unlike the Republic, Kurogasai made no effort to pretend the Tatsumaki-class was manufactured for meteor defence, preferring to keep silent on the matter.

While the bulk of the Kurogasai Corporation's shipping is built to conventional thinking, the Triumph-class is a significant break from other survey designs, combining as it does the role of both a gravitational and a geological surveyor in one. In addition to this, the design also mounts twice the fuel capacity of its foreign equivalents.
