EPMC (Golden Fist) Additions/Rewrite

[Lucaken]

Type (e.g. Planet, Faction, System): Corporations

Describe this proposal in a single sentence (12 word maximum): Additions to, and a small rewrite of The Golden Fist.

How will this be reflected on-station? With the assumption that most EPMC-contracted characters are usually from one of the companies mentioned, my hope is that these changes will help differentiate between Eridani contractors by giving characters more choices when choosing their 'sub-employer'. I think more flavour with contractors is always good for characterisation.

Does this faction/etc do anything not achieved by what already exists? This is mostly a rewrite, but I did try and stay away from elements that other corporations already have.

Why should this be given to lore developers rather than remain player created lore? Mainly because the page on them is far too underdeveloped for the influence (I think) they play, at least within Eridanian space, if not galactically. I also consider a change to a group this influential a bit too heavy for headcanons. Granted, I could make some of the new companies here just part of my own writing (not part of the Golden Fist, just a normal EPMC), but I'd rather have them available for everyone - especially with NBT departmental changes on their way.

Do you understand that if this is submitted, you are signing it away to the lore team, and that it's possible that it will change over time in ways that you may not forsee? Yup.

Long Description: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iyM697bXS40uEHxxdih4SR_YLkl-OW59FdeTDfedHyg/edit?usp=sharing

Notes: In the main document, green represents anything copied and pasted from the wiki, yellow any edits to those, while red is removals. Anything without colour is a pure addition.

Furthermore, a bit on names: I have considered giving a complete change to many of the names here, particularly of the group as a whole. 'Golden Fist' is, to me, a really basic name, but also fitting considering the group as an entity is not really official. With individual corporations I changed them freely (because even if N4NL makes sense for a tech company, I still think it's a weird name), but I was hesitant with renaming the group as a whole because renames of that caliber can be bothersome, so I left it in as is. I still would like to see it renamed, and if that happens, my main suggestion would be been something with 'Penta' in it. (The Penta Group, The Penta Ring, etc.)

Thank you for your application! It may sit for a while, as we are currently working through updating the Megacorps. The EPMC might change drastically, and this might not be needed afterall! I'll keep you updated, however.

I am very aware of this, and made the app with that in mind. This is essentially just my way of saying what I'd like to see in said rework, particularly as it pertains to the Golden Fist. I thought it would be more constructive than just DM-spamming the writers.

It's also my first contribution, so, as always, no hard feelings if none of this is used. For that same reason, I would still like any applicable feedback, since that'll enable me to write stuff that is not cringe.
