[@Skylar] so my Corp is shaping up to be one of the major players in the shipbuilding industry. They're a bit more ethical than North Star (Okay a lot more ethical) but it doesn't mean that they wouldn't have mutual interests. The way I've set them up they have small slips or yards on most stations and asteroids big enough to house them as well as free floating yards in and past the belt, which would mean it's very likely that our two companies would interact out of necessity. 

Your company needs a way to keep its ships flying, my company needs ships to fix to stay in business. We both need to turn a profit.

So what I'm asking is if you would mind having some sort of a business relation with my Corp, not an alliance or anything but just allowing me to have holdings on your stations (but not all of them). Strictly business. 

Also we build ships so come to me if you need 'em.

Logistics, ship maintenance subcontracting, and building merchant ships for Northstar all sounds good to me. Meanwhile Northstar provides business, habitat-building, possibly cheap manpower or android kemonomimi exports, potential security contracts, and usual access to the Northstar multimedia machine.

Northstar by itself has a very broad shipbuilding base, but not a exceptionally great on a per-ship basis. NS-SecFor or some of it's remote-control Tacticians may come to you for the kinds of specialist ships you can build versus the generic ones Northstar makes on their own. Stealth ships, refitting auxila into pocket-warships, artillery craft

As for the ethics question, Northstar doesn't see it as a ethics question. Its just a matter of supply and demand, and the supply of human labor far exceeds the demand for it, ergo the per-unit value of human life by default isn't high and must be earned through their own effort. However other companies treat their human resources is their business, but Northstar's method has worked in getting workers to pay for their own fare instead of depending on handouts they haven't earned.
