Planetary Footnotes
Triad is a major industrial planet where high-technology items are manufactured and sold.  Cassidine Development Corporation has its headquarters in the planet's capital, New Hope.  Interplanetary Industries has its huge, fortress-like headquarters based in Lake Vast, the major seaport.  Nesmith Enterprises of Triad occupies most of the Malicon Valley's developmental sites as its headquarters.  Tallyman Associates (designers East Indiaman) have an airdock at Triad Station.

Triad in the Cassidine is one of the trade and industrial centres of the Frontier, generally referred to as one of the Hub Worlds.  Nearly all the corporations have offices and production facilities on planet or in close orbit.  There are several smaller corporations with facilities on Triad or in orbit.  All these companies are limited to the Cassidine system at present, but are attempting to expand their activities outsystem

Malicon Valley, Triad, CassidineUnknownHundreds, all closely identified with NET e.g.NET Progit Industries, NET Communicator Industries, NET Computer Labs + 100s of smaller companies
The NET holds the patents on most computer and communications equipment. Competition between the NET and I.I. is strong, but it has not yet erupted into a Corporate War. Both mega-corps would like to expand into their counterpart's market. This is a volatile situation that Star Law is trying to contain.  Because of the NET's patents on programming units (progits) and body computers (bodycomps), plus the circuitry for most communication and radiophones, most other mega-corps have never even considered competing with the NET.

CASSIDINE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
Headquarters:Chief Executive:Subsidiaries
CDC Tower, New Hope, Triad City, CassidineMembers of the Board of Directors share equal power; most noted Director is Xoprothun (Dralasite) & Chairman of the board Karral WillthatchCDC is fronted so well that subsidiaries are relatively unknown

Allies: CDC has had an allience, at one time or another, with alomst every mega-corp except PGC and Streel

Occasional Opposition: PGC, Galatic Task Force Inc., Streel Corporation, Capellan Free Merchants, MercCo

CDC has also grown over the last few decades, but no to the same extend as the Streel Corporation. CDC has offices on all major worlds and is starting to expand into the Rim.  CDC specializes in insurance companies and in operations of a risky nature, such as planetary and deep space mining operations, archaeological digs, and off-Frontier exploration ventures.
Staff Roster:  Chairman of the board Karral Willthatch.  Formerly famous as a daring adventurer, he has turned his energies toward running his mutli-million credit corporation.

I.I. specializes in high-tech devices of a non-computer or non-communications nature that are too expensive for other mega-corps to produce.  More galactic patents are held by I.I. than any other mega-corp, and its research labs are the finest and most heavily guarded on the Frontier.  Industrial spying is a way of life with most mega-corps and I.I. is no exception. Its private security force is reputed to be the best in the Frontier.

System History
256-248 pf. Triad and Rupert's Hole found in the Cassidine system.
The Cassidine system was the second system to be attacked by Hatzck Naar's pirate fleet. The First Common Muster first attacked the pirate fleet after hiding in the asteroids here.  The Second Common Muster was moved to Cassidine and performed a surprise attack upon the Sathar during the Battle of Triad, in 4 pf.
Asteroid Belt: This dense belt was used as hiding by the First Common Muster in 79pf, to sneak attack Hatzck Naar's pirate fleet.
