Current staff (special NPC's):
Captain, Herald J. Wellington (human)
-an elderly man, roughly in his 90's, living only because of medical advancements that allow extended life times.
-he's been working on the GMC crew for almost his whole life, being offered higher ranks time and time again yet, he always declines.
-most say this is because he likes the view from the command bridge, others say he likes the feeling of handling such massive ships with so many people depending on his skill.
-In any case, he is a skilled and experienced pilot and gunman, and should serve well in any adventure.
Ship A.I. , Johnathan (a.i.)
-created as an experimental line of sentient robots, Johnathan was quickly adapted for ships, resulting in a highly efficient supercomputer on board all of the GMC ships.
-Johnathan does have a physical body, but it is held in storage as there has never been a time he has needed it.
-Johnathan has a very serious tone when talking, and he doesn't take kindly to jokes, often responding with threats of death.
-in any case, Johnathan is very useful for calculating outcomes of encounters and giving advice, perfect for taking on pirates and the like.
Scientist and Doctor, Michel A. Hontris (Mantis creature)
-born into a poor family, Michel had a very bright mind, but his parents couldn't afford to send him to college. because of this, he abandoned his family and ran away. many months later, we found him reassembling a stopwatch that had been broken for years, he was only 9.
-we took him in, and the manager raised him like a son. he was well fed and had plenty of time to work on projects he had planed before. now, he is lead scientist and doctor of the GMC.
-overall, Michel is a brilliant mind that just needed some help to get started, and is a great person to have on the GMC crew.

INTERVIEWS!
yes folks we do interviews!
below is a list of interviews and how they went!
Interview with: Empress @Legios
interview conducted on:Tuesday March 13, 2018
dialog:
---begin log---
"what are your thoughts on the current weather?"
Very thick and acid.
"yes it does feel like it doesn't it?"
"right well, next question, what are your feelings towards FTL routes co and their recent closing?"
I feel that it has to be opened again as the IWO also gain economical boosts out of it.
"next question, could you tell us about you, and the IWO?"
I am Empress Legios, and I am the founder of the IWO.
"anything else to add to that? we are recording this for future reference."
I like inter-donuts.
"alright, as a final question, what are your thoughts of president puppers of the pupulon republic attending the galactic peace treaty signing?"
I dont know.

interview with: MCW
interview conducted on: Wednesday march 14, 2018
dialog:
---begin log---
"what are your feelings towards the current weather?"
The atmosphere is somewhat tense, the war is very close, and something clear, in the war there is only one winner.
"what is your stance on the anti-faction known as the darkness?"
we have not known the Darkness faction
"what is common religion of your faction?"
The UCW is a primarily atheist nation however non theistic beliefs and paths may be followed by individuals, theistic religions are banned under law. This is due to the fact that religion has caused too much divide in both humanity and in many other species, and only serves to separate not unite.
"that will be all"

interview with: TA
interview conducted on: Thursday March 22, 2018
dialog:
---begin log---
"question one, what are your thoughts on the weather?"
Well, it's pretty cold here, it's 4ºC, and it's cloudy. But, it could've been worse. I wouldn't want to be in the middle of Jupiter's red spot right now 🙂
"what are your feelings towards the United Galaxies?"
I feel like it's great! The invention of time-travel through this forum has made it possible for us to see what factions and alliances exist in the future, and I think UG is comparable to the UN, or NATO, just like we, the Terran Alliance like to be.
It might even be possible that sometime in the future the UG was founded upon the what then would be "old TA".
I like it. 5/7
"final question, what is your current status on the many reports of vanishing stars."
As long as Leonardo Dicaprio is still around I don't mind.
"that will be all."

interview with: Jake and Eric from the New Scavengers
interview conducted on: Friday March 23, 2018
dialog:
---begin log---
note:for additional context, the host is a hexapod, meaning they have a slight "lisp" of sorts.
note:interviewee asked to remove a section.
"how human are you?"
Why? Who’s asking?
"the hozt HEXAPOD NOW segmant of GMC, because theze help provide context"
Erm... yes?
"good, next queztion how powerful would you zay you are?"
Well, I’d say that consider’n our position on de galatic market, we are not findin’ it hard to make allies. If we were to go to war, we would have the support of the many more prepared factions. Of course, considering the mistakes of the Old Scavangers, we are also investing in proper security measures, instead of blundering around hoping noth’n goes wrong. The automated stick railguns were my own invention, and can cause considerable damage to anyone who gets any ideas. Also, our fleet of Lightning fighters are the most formidable ships of their class available today. Trust me, they’ll tear you apart peice by peice unless you act real nice around ‘em!
Of course, we are expanding all the time, and I am hop’n to start work on some bigger projects soon.
"very good, next up who are you're main rivalz and alliez?"
Well, I’d say that the market has been pretty open since the IWO, and no competition means lots of profits! As far as allies go, the Terran Alliance has become our strongest ally yet, providing buisness opertunities and military support. We hope to be able to continue this relationship well into the future.
"interesting, what are your opinionz on currant galactic emergenciez? such as the starz going out."
I believe that a ripple in space time will occur ending the incident because it is OP at a cosmolord level. For some reason rappidly replicating drones that can’t be killed because of sheer numbers, and are immune to EMP are “not OP” according to the creator, which I believe is total..
What was I talking about again?
"The starz going out."
What stars?
"um, moving on. what are you plans for the future? more stock? new ships? a big secret project that you are secretly working on?"
{data removed by request of interviewee}
"anything elze you wish to say?"
Yes, there is. BUY OUR PRODUCTS OR ELSE!

interview with: @Iantech
interview conducted on: Saturday March 21, 2018
dialog:
---begin log---
"what are your thoughts on the weather in your system?"
Well, most of the system is dry and harsh. Figesiga is nice and warm and tropical, as always, and the other residential planet is, as usual, much worse (Defiantly not to upset the poor)
"what is your stance on the radiation happening in the UG space?"
We too are trying to find a solution to the problem, and an alliance with the UG. They seem to be handling it well, although they need a lot of iron, (which we are stacking)
"what is your groups long term objective?"
Well, we are a faction devoted to science and technology. Already the company has invented the brand new warp drive, and improved the design of the electro-bomb by @jbox1 . We are currently building warp routes base in the Adonian sub-empire, a section of the company.
BUY OUR PRODUCTS! (or you will be disintegrated in one of 101 ways)
"thank you that will be all."

-dialog:

"question one, what are you thought on the weather?"
well its raining molten rock so bad
"question 2, what are your thoughts of the cosmolord returning?"
well it is interesting...
"final question, what would you recommend to do about cosmolord?"
kill it shoot at it till he turns to soup

interview with: Stripedfoot from the Tribe of Darkest Night by @FangTheCat
interview conducted on: Friday April 6, 2018
dialog:
---begin log---
"hello and welcome back everyone, today, we have a somewhat well known group here on set. they have been at many events, and if you can't tell, they are of feline origin. if you couldn't tell by now, we are talking about the Tribe of Darkest Night, with me here is a fellow named Stripedfoot. care to tell us a bit about yourself?"
Well.. as you already know, My name is Stripedfoot, I am a Commander, no children, as I have no {short pause} wife, I had a half-brother, who was killed do to lack of oxygen after a ..spike.. impaled the ship. I've always liked fighting.. which, as an apprentice.. I wasn't very good at.. but ever since a friend of mine, now known as Static, got injured by a dangerous creature.. I devoted my life to being the best Warrior I can be.. Many often see me as aggressive or unhappy all the time.. I simply get stressed easily...
"thank you Stripedfoot, now, onto the interview. the first question, 'how has your faction's technology advanced so far?' do you have a reply to that?"
Well, as of my lifetime, We have become much more advanced, We have been getting new technology very quickly as of lately. I don't understand all the fancy stuff.. so.. thats all I can tell you..
"wonderful to hear, and as always, we will have one final question."
"what is the most recent technological breakthrough your faction has had?"
"as an extension, what is it's main quality that makes it so special?"
Well, We recently have had the breakthrough of a black hole cannon, They do decent damage.. tearing through the testing armor.. but I feel that they might be slightly unstable. Another recent breakthrough is a successful Greenmint prototype, a plant which has the cure for a sickness of the Tribe, Greencough.. It has been worked on for a while, but it was discovered the plant would die after harvest..That was fixed.
"that will be all."

Interview with: the Vidachos Quorum by @LeftHandofGod
Interview conducted on:
Dialog:
---begin log---
"question one, what is the main focus of your faction?"
Currently, we're mostly focused on expanding our ship roster via our shipyard affiliate, Celestial Mechanics. We're also looking at maybe expanding our territory.
"next question, what will you do after you accomplish your goal? that is, if you have any."
GET SOME GODDANG RECOGNITION AND RESPECT!!!!!! No, seriously. We're better known for our shipyards, Celestial Mechanics, but those see precious little business these days. For most factions, if you say "Quorum", they either look at you funny or laugh themselves silly.
"final question, what do you feel is going to happen to the forums universe in the near future?"
I think a major war is coming down the pipe. Now honestly, when isn't it? But ever since the collapse of IWO (and what a mess that whole debacle was...) the really big players such as the Scavengers, the BC, the Kel'Shir, the PoT, and such have been a little too quiet. I think sometime soon, that it's all going to blow up into a massive war and set the galaxy on fire.
"that will be all."

interview with: a representative of the darkness faction by @Gladiaxa
interview conducted on: Thursday April 12, 2018
dialog:
---begin log---
"alright, we'll start with a simple question."
"what is your faction's main goal?"
Our goal is quite simple at first sight: to destroy this dimension, because this is the path of our master, everything must die for others to live.
"second question, how might you acomplish this?"
Our master counts as usual on time, corruption, attacks, political assassinations, embezzlement, military action, and decadence of the regimes that govern this world to destroy them and thus destabilize the order in place, then we sweep a universe, and then begins a snowball effect that results in the destruction of this dimension.
As you can guess, it takes a lot of time, but our master can have to sell
"final question, what do you recommend to your enemies if they wan't to stand even the slightest chance?"
I'll tell them that committing suicide was faster.
"that will be all."

more stuff to come so be patient.
