The following message has been relayed through the communication channels of Fuzz Inc. via the realm of the Binaros Smuggling Alliance...
Every created object that a sentient can touch, feel and embrace is due to raw materials. The Imperial Palace casts a dark shadow over Coruscant because of a strong duracrete construction, the Hapan Fleet masks Lorell's sun due to impressive meleenium placements and Duracrete Slug's saty alive because of their juicey goodness. However, raw materials are something that the galaxy at large cannot get its hands on. While we sit and stare at the great metropolis that is the galaxy, many small businesses and sole traders dream of the day when they can get their own investment properties constructed, when they can open up their own shop front to the galaxy, or they just dream of a home with four walls. All of this is made possible through the sale of raw materials throughout the galaxy. Despite this, the multiple conglomerates and governments shut everyone else out. Doc Jessa reporting again for Fuzz Inc. about the slow movement of materials, and the select companies that actually believe everyday sentients should get their chance to build their own little corner of the galaxy.
With recognized mining companies opening up their quarries on a regular basis, one thing remains common between them all: regardless of what or where they harvest, they don't sell to the public. With over ninety percent of all recognized mining organizations following this trend, sentients fail to get their hands on materials and are forced to sit back and watch governments and galactic conglomerates build up their tax havens to enslave their citizens and stop small business from having a solid investment. With such a demand for materials, one wonders why a mining company won't forget their government interests and sell a multitude of materials on the open market. With the demand so high for these materials, specifically materials used in starship and facility construction, sentients are forced to trade openly on the market defiled by inflation, which causes a greater cost to their already phenomenal expenses. This is compounded by the perils of criminals and thieves threatening to rip them off without a moment of concern. Such a risk threatens everything sentients work for, which in turn stops many from pursuing their dreams, instead leaving them struggling with minimal income to support their families.
One such company that has lead the fight to help with public material sales has been XXX Miners, lead by Clarr Solo. Despite the fact that the name encourages a large amount of inquiries related to pornographic materials, the deviant minds throughout XXX manage to turn many onlookers into clients, while selling regular investment packages and raw material kits to the galaxy. With such a minor volume of corporately backed materials on the market, XXX Miners has the ability to tackle a monopoly once thought impossible to obtain. Since their inception on the 127th Day of Year 7 in recognized galactic time, Clarr Solo has turned a two man operation in the Elrood Sector into the one stop shop for all sentients to get their material needs. Although the company only sells in bulk packages, XXX still maintains a strong client base from all walks of life. Despite his busy schedule, Fuzz Inc. was able to ask him about progress throughout XXX Miners and it's growth in the public eye. "All I can say is that we at XXX Miners thank the galaxy for such a phenomenal response to our raw material packages. Thanks to your support we'll soon be launching another round of packages to the general public, and shall continue to do so for the forseeable future. On a side note, I also invite you to check out our yearly calendars, just another service we offer here at XXX Miners."
Although governments and conglomerates have their own interests, spare a thought for those less fortunate beings spread throughout all regions of space that fall below the poverty line, or those who have failed to open up a solid investment or business due to inadequate material access. Then think about the success of XXX Miners and how their goals have created an unprecedented access of materials for all sentients, along with massive public support. Now consider such a change yourself. As for all those Mining companies that don't fall under the umbrella of a government or conglomerate, what the bloody hell are you doing to fill the hours? Fuzz out.
