#Company
#TODO These are old drive notes. Needs better incorporation with the new stuff. In particular the relationship between them and the Tritechs as well as if they formed out of the First Ships or later.
#TODO May not be a Totopoly, need to better go over this company and the Tritechs work with or against each other.
Froog Brothers was founded by several brothers. Each had their own mechanical specialty: Froosh’s was mechs, Frooey’s was civilian ground, Frooel’s was spacecraft, Frooffrey’s was hovercraft, and Froohn’s was submersibles. They each trained a small team and contracted out to businesses on a more one on one basis than other companies.
The brothers’ mindset has always been to work closely with their clients. They eventually had to undergo a massive expansion as businesses hired out teams for extended or indefinite amounts of time. They weren’t able to personally train new groups anymore, but they did their best to train managers of new locations. Now each location has several teams and often trains new ones if a company asks for long-term mechanics.
They are a very popular mechanic’s company, though they are rather elite. Their skill comes with a high price, and high demand. Some companies even sign contracts for 10+ years where their employees are covered for repairs at any Froog Brothers shop. One of their biggest contracts was with the General Galactic to support the Blurvp terraforming efforts, lasting over a hundred years.
Froog Brothers was one of the first galactic businesses. They formed a mutually beneficial partnership with the Trade Syndicate soon after acquiring their galactic scale. The Trade Syndicate was able to use them as a public face and propaganda machine. They offered incredibly reduced costs for raw materials, office space, and factories. This helped to solidify Froog Brothers' ability to squash competition.
