History

Origins

Express Enterprices, formerly Joruba Trading Corporation.

The Joruba Trading Corporation was originally formed by Three Brothers under the name of Joruba Consortium, Joruba being taken from the first two letters of each of their names Jochran, Ruban and Bandana. The Consortium ran for several year as a successful wholesale distributor buying up anything cheap they could get their hands on, they specialised in speeders, foodstuffs and holoprojectors. They would travel around in the vast fleet of ships to backwater planets other companies tended not to visit so much buy up as much cheap stock as possible and then ship it to more desirable locations where it would be sold for profit. It kept itself business dealing relatively quiet in the public domain but had a large list of corporate clients and was well respected. Unfortunately the company also had a underside to the business as well and as well as legitimately moving stock it would employ their fleet to move and smuggle anything from spices to guns and even slaves. The Consortium enjoyed a successful wholesale distribution business buying up cheap stock in backwater planets shipping it to more desirable locations and then selling it for profit. It kept itself relatively quiet in the public domain due to it being a front for their various illegal activities.

Eventually after several near misses with the authorities the Sector Rangers got wind of these nefarious deeds and arranged a sting operation. They sent in Two of their best Agents who infiltrated the Consortium and went deep undercover for several months, eventually the brothers came to conduct business on Sabrash II were the sector rangers were based the two operatives tipped off the rangers who were ready and waiting. After a fierce firefight in which several of the brothers bodyguards were killed and one ranger seriously injured the brothers were captured.

Once the brothers were captured all the faction assets were seized by the rangers most were sold off to help fund the victims of their slavery actions. The main structure of the faction was kept and drawn into the sector rangers faction where it remained for several years using the contacts available from it to help the rangers conduct their business as they needed.

Then with the changes in the rules of Galactic Trading the Sector Rangers were approached about the possibility of reforming Joruba to the once great faction it was. They granted permission on the proviso that services remain available to them and that it was to be run as a fully legal registered faction. With this headquarters were formed on Sabrash II in the same city as where the brothers were captured in Kastolar and the faction was officially opened for business to public on Y13 D220 and managed by Brand Malden

After almost four years, Joruba Consortium was acquired by the Solonar Ranger family on Year 17, Day 33. Brian MacBoruma became the owner and lead trader. He changed the name to Joruba Trading Corp, and continued to follow in the footsteps of the previous owners.

In Year 17, Day 313, Teresa Rowley acquired Joruba Trading Corp from Brian MacBoruma, upon his retirement and merged it into her growing NFG; Express Enterprices. She changed JTC's name to Express Enterprices, expanded the services offered, ensuring that it would continue to thrive and expand. The board of directors she had set up for her NFG quickly stepped up to help in running the faction, each director heading a different department in the growing company, all working together towards making the company run smoothly and efficiently, to provide top quality services to their customers.

Current

Today, the Express Enterprices has undergone a transformation from its criminally run beginnings, to a legit trading / logistics organization.

The new leader Teresa Rowley reformed the majority of branches.

Structure

The Express Enterprices is comprised of several branches - Trading, Logistics, Constuction, Facility & Station Management, Military & Security, Production and Diplomacy. Each division is led by a director who holds a position within the Board of Directors.

High Command

The Board of Directors consist of EE officers that lead the various groups, divisions and departments of EE with a leading function.

They look after the day to day tasks ensuring that EE remains a well functioning entity. The structure is set up that in the event that a Leading Officer or manager becomes absent, the person can be replaced immediately, temporary or permanent.

Services

Hauling / Logistics

The Logistics Fleet, is one of the main work forces of EE and makes up the bulk of its membership. whether its a bulk load or a Corona full of ships or other items, our fleet of heavy haulers is standing by ready to move your items. We have Coronas, Bulks, Simis and Brayls complete with pilot available to hire.

Production

EE runs a full production system producing many ships and items for sale these are always sold fresh of the production ready to go no waiting around for production to tick down buy it today fly it away today.

FI Management

We will Manage your financial facilities for 10%.

Here's your answer, we have a small fleet of selected ships, available for you to hire and fly away today. You only need it 1 day no problem need it 3 months no problems all hire fees are quoted especially to suit your job requirements a deposit maybe required to help guard against sun damage of our property.

Trading & Sales

At EE we are always striving to find the best quality goods at the right price for you. We go the extra mile so you don't have to. We offer top quality merchandise at great prices, both on CPM, DOT and on our Commerce site in the SWC Forums or via the Bizarre on our Holosite. We are willing to accept part exchanges and credits please note all part exchanges will be viewed on a sale by sale basis and valued accordingly. Our mobile sales stations are located at several convenient locations through out the galaxy.

Construction

We have experienced builders that can build your cities, facilities or stations. We also offer DC rentals and sales. We also offer Build Your Own Station DC sales or We can build it for you at 10% over cost.

Middling Service

We offer a free middling service and all our partners are insured up to 250m in the event of something going wrong if you wish to use a third party middle when dealing with us you are free to but we will only deal with anyone on togans list Please Note: anything brought from Express Enterprices will need to be paid for in full first before anything is released anything we buy from you needs to be inspected first and in our possession before we will pay out.

Source Selling and Buying

Is there that one ship or pod racer that you need for your collection, then let us know what it is and your budget and we will use our vast network of suppliers to try and locate it for you. We will charge you a finders fee which will vary on the nature of the item and how easy it is to acquire.

Facility & Market Access Management

One of the key areas we specialise in is Market access management. With the recent new passing in changes to the rules and laws governing trading, all trading locations need to be owned by a Trade Faction, these locations can be either Commerce Centre or Trade Stations (1 or 2). Once we own these facilities you can then use them to securely access the market and buy and sell goods as you require.

We aim to be the number one provider of Market Access Management in the Galaxy. We will do this by creating a trade network of access points throughout the galaxy.

How does EE get stations and commerce centers? There are several ways, the first is we build stations in key locations around the galaxy, some for the public, some by sales order.

The second method is transferring ownership of a station or commerce center to EE and letting us know what kind of access you want it to have. If you wish it to be used by the public, then EE will need to have manager rights as well to prevent misuse.

You say you're all ready to build your own station but you aren't in a trading faction? No problem. You can join EE temporarily and build it for EE for only the RM cost. We will grant free DC and pay the production fees. In exchange, you agree to leave it entrusted to EE and have access set to open for 6 months. After that it's yours to do what you want with.

If you have any questions on how the Market works or wanting your own Trade Stations please speak to Teresa Rowley who will only be to happy to help you and assist you with anything you need.

If for some unforeseeable reason the faction is in danger of dissolvement or a buyer comes in with a stupid offer that all Commerce Centres and Trade Stations will be returned to their rightful owners before anything happens.
