Introduction
The Eurotas Trade Consortium, or ETC, is a major galactic trade consortium offering a vast variety of services and products. The ETC transports and trades in goods, provide security, exploration of new territory, and banking. By trading or contracting with with the ETC, clients gain access to new services and trade routes within the Koronus Expanse. Within the Koronus Expanse, the ETC controls several systems, including its capital of Eurotas, and controls the largest combined spaceport, shipyard and trade station in the galaxy, Port Wander. Outside of the Koronus Expanse, the ETC has several other holdings including sectors of the Minos Cluster, such as the resource rich Mestra system. The ETC also has its own private military forces, law enforcement and merchant navy.

Leadership
This mega-trade corps is ruled by Void Baron Eurotas. Baron Eurotas chairs the trade committee that governs the Consortium.

Under his leadership, the Eurotas Consortium has built a trade and colonial empire in the stars while providing every product or service needed.
