Started by entrepreneur Rudolph Ryan, the Ryan Cartel was a company formed to transport huge asteroidal icebergs through hyperspace to supply colonies with cheaper water supplies.

History

This initiative was announced on January 10, 2177, and involved cutting massive blocks of ice from the asteroid belts of uninhabitable systems and transporting them to inhabited systems using a formation of jump capable ships. The rate of colonization was greatly accelerated by the increased availability and quality of water.

Within a few short years, the Ryan Cartel became the single most profitable enterprise within the Terran Alliance, and its iceships stimulated the colonization of many worlds previously believed only marginally habitable. The number of colonies increased from over 200 in 2195 to over 600 by the time of the Alliance Grand Survey of Inhabited Planets conducted in 2235.

Rudolph Ryan was killed by anarchist assassin in 2185.
