Giga-corporation

A giga-corporation, often called a gigacorp, is an immense privately-owned commercial entity that operates not only on a planetary scale but also across the broader Solar Cluster, controlling large portions of one or more key markets. These corporations have grown to become the most powerful and influential institutions in Vexian society, often overshadowing the former nation-states and governmental structures. With their enormous financial and infrastructural resources, gigacorps are central to the operation of Vex’s economy, pseudo-political landscape, and the daily lives of its inhabitants.

Gigacorps gave birth to the concept of hypercapitalism, the operating ethos of the Post-Sovereign Economic Phase (PSEP).

Characteristics of a GigaCorp

Gigacorps are generally defined by their massive size, market dominance, and financial capability. Unlike traditional governmental organizations, these corporations operate outside the constraints of any formal centralized authority, except for a basic system of laws that they themselves enforce or create. As the planet’s major commercial entities, they have far-reaching influence in shaping Vexian society’s infrastructure, from urban development to technological advancements.
