Trafalgar Data Structures LLC

Biography
Leaving its competitors to dominate the brain-computer interface and computer interaction with the physical world, Trafalgar focuses its resources on the guts of the machine. They make their credits in computer data storage and processing.
Trafalgar holds patents on many fundamental algorithms for data compression, plus storage/retrieval schemes ad systems to handle non-linear equasions. The megacorp continues its research into these areas, frequently licensing its discoveries out to others.
Trafalgar also operates as a service bureau, leasing computer processing resources, storage space, data transfer/conversion, encryption/decryption, and system analysis/design consultants to paying customers. If a small corp suddenly starts a project requiring more computer processing horsepower than it has in-house, it can rent the extra processing resources from Trafalgar.
Brek Norfoldson's lifelong fascination with experimental sociology has provided the corp with a sideline that might someday become a major money-maker. The CEO's interest in investivating human societies and cultures in the information age prompted him to set up the Trafalgar Astral Arcology.

Corporate Structure
Trafalgar appears to have highly diversified ownership. As mentioned above, the corporation has no major shareholders (no one owns a 10 percent block of outstanding shares.) Board chairman Yuke Domikano dominates the board, more because of her forceful personality than because of the ammount of stock she owns. On most issues she and Brek see eye-to-eye, so she lets him run Trafalgar pretty much as he likes. They disagree most often about Brek's emphasis on the Astral Arcology. Though Yuke sees enough value in it that she's never tried to shut it down, but she balks occasionally when Brek diverts money from Trafalgar's more profitable divisions to shore up the arcology's sagging finances. In all such cases so far, however, Brek has convinced her to see his side.

Major Divisions
Trafalgar organizes its major divisions along regional lines. Individual departments within those divisions specialize by function and/or by region, depending on specific circumstances. In turn, Trafalgar has regional subdivisions such as Trafalgar Space and functional subdivisions such as Trafalgar Pan-System Consulting.
