Multistellar Research Conglomerate
From Multiverses
The Multistellar Research Conglomerate (The MRC) is a research and development organisation set up by several governments in the Viperius Galaxy.
Services
The Conglomerate takes research requests from organisations or individuals at a small upfront cost.
The body of scientists working for the Conglomerate do subsidised research and investigation to produce what the customer requires. If they fail, the upfront cost is returned.
However, if they succeed, 25% of the product's proceeds go to the Conglomerate, funding the scientists and organisation.
Organisation
There is no central individual within the organisation, but a council of scientific leaders who direct funding and approve commissions. They report to the galactic governments.
