ShipCorps

A ShipCorps is a corporation comprised of a ship and its crew. Council law sets the buy-in for a single share in a ShipCorp at 10K Yen but values go up from there. Normally the Captain of a ShipCorp is the senior-most stakeholder, but each ship will have its own charter and way of doing things. Some ShipCorps simply ply the trade routes, buying and selling goods between destinations for cash. These are typically called Independent Commercial Ships. Others act as light, fast courier ships, moving small volumes of high value goods or transporting people. In general, any ship in space that is owned/operated by its crew will be a ShipCorp. Otherwise, it will belong to a government, or a MegaCorp.
