Halvorsen - Ryke

Runs the salvage contracts and claims across Kessler Reach

// On Record

Leader

Not named on record -- Theobald Achike, its head of security on Kessler Reach, is the only company officer the crew has actually met.

Structure

A conventional corporate hierarchy holding the legal salvage rights to the Boneyard. Security runs as its own arm under Theobald Achike, separate from whoever handles the contracts and claims themselves.

Goals

Keep the Boneyard's salvage claims -- and the profit from them -- running through H&R paperwork rather than anyone else's.

Philosophy

The rules apply evenly, and the rules are the company's. Theobald Achike enforces them the same on everyone, with less open menace than the Rustblood Cartel's guards -- right up until a claim starts cutting into H&R's margins.

Limits

Not established on record beyond Zabetta Tarr's read of Theobald Achike: professional and fair as long as the company's profit margins aren't in question.
