The Golden Star Entertainment Group was one the largest entertainment and hotel groups operating in the Federated Suns.[1][2]

Overview

During the Third Succession War, Golden Star Entertainment Group's then only two divisions represented both the largest producer of holovid films and premier hotel chain in the Federated Suns, but as the depressed economic conditions of the era began to bite, GSEG was on the verge of foreclosure on almost half of its locations as its profits declined. The group's fortunes would change dramatically when the mysterious Interconnectedness Unlimited would launch a successful hostile takeover for Golden Star Entertainment Group in 3013.[1][2]

Thanks to lavish funds from its new owner Golden Star Entertainment Group began to slowly rebound, yet strangely right as the post–Fourth Succession War economic turnaround began to take hold and GSEG's profits began to improve, Interconnectedness Unlimited would abruptly sell the group in 3034. Capitalizing on increased Lyran Commonwealth traffic into the Federated Suns during the era of the Federated Commonwealth, Golden Star positioned itself as the premier hotel chain that catered to businessmen, a position that proved extremely profitable. As of 3067, the Golden Star Entertainment Group has grown immensely, its hotel and casino arm dramatically expanding with two new though complementary subdivisions to the group being created.[1][2]

Divisions

As of 3067, Golden Star Entertainment Group had four divisions:[1]

Golden Star Entertainments

Circa 3025, Golden Star Entertainments was the largest producer of holofilms in the Federated Suns, and while GSE would lose this crown in the 3040's, by 3067 it remained at least the most prodigious production house in Davion space if not the most profitable. Their huge movie studio, located just outside New Hollywood, cranks out at least 50 full-length feature films per year. These movies, of all types, quality, and ratings, are distributed throughout the realm.[1][2]

Golden Star Music and Publishing

The audio focused counterpart to Golden Star Entertainments, Golden Star Music and Publishing featured a number of different music subsidiaries, each focused on a different market and with its own core of signed musicians and significant music catalogs. In association with its other sister divisions, Golden Star Music and Publishing sponsored music festivals and interstellar concert tours across the Inner Sphere.[1]

Golden Star Hotels and Casinos

Golden Star Hotels and Casinos had massive hotel complexes across the Inner Sphere, expanding from fifty exclusively in Davion space in 3025 to 103 worlds in the Federated Suns and twenty-one worlds in the Lyran Alliance by 3067, each located in the largest cities and near major industrial centers. Each Golden Star site combined a four-star hotel with a casino, restaurants, nightclubs, holovid multiplex, athletic club, and spa along with a multitude of other entertainment facilities. Often attached directly to spaceports, Golden Star hotels provided all-in-one services for guests who never had to leave the hotel if they didn't want to, though of course the company charged a premium for such convenience. Despite expensive rates—so high that that casino games were run honestly as there was no need to cheat—Golden Star had earned the highest ratings in every review of its hotels.[1][2]

In 3025, rumors existed that the infamous Lyran Commonwealth-based Casimir family organized crime syndicate was attempting to worm its way into the staff of the Golden Star Casino on Errai.[2]

Camelot Inns
