Bannson Universal Unlimited

Bannson Universal Unlimited was a Inner Sphere-spanning corporation owned by Republic of the Sphere business tycoon Jacob Bannson.

Overview

Founded in 3118 on St. Andre, in just fourteen years Bannson Universal Unlimited had grown to become the dominant business power within the Republic's Prefecture IV and possessed interests in all of the Republic's other Prefectures and every Successor State. A diverse manufacturer, BUU operations across the Inner Sphere ranged from financial services to DropShip sales. It was prevented from becoming the number one corporate power in the Republic only thanks to the interference of House GioAvanti and the Republic Senate, although Bannson managed to stave off numerous enemies both official and criminal.

This accumulation of corporate might enabled Jacob Bannson to become one of the so-called "Jackals" that preyed upon the Republic following Gray Monday. BUU bankrolled the activities of Bannson's Raiders and their employer's schemes during the mid-3130s. While Jacob Bannson himself disappeared from the galactic stage by late 3136, his assets (presumably including BUU) were mysteriously still active and aiding local Republic forces trapped outside of the Wall.
