The Tamarind Mining Corporation was a Free Worlds League mining corporation.[1]
History
The discovery of valuable radioactive minerals on Kosciusko in 3013 led to a resurgence of prosperity in the Duchy of Tamarind.[2] Sometime in the first part of the thirty-first century, the Tamarind Mining Corporation was surveying systems in the Duchy and found high quantities of the minerals on several planets located beneath Star League-era ruins. They had authorization from Parliament to persuade the locals living there to cede the rights to their lands but, complicating matters, they revered the ruins as holy sites of cultural importance and were fanatical about staying and protecting them.[1]
The TMC believed a few raids on the lands, under the guise of prospecting for Lostech, would intimidate and remind them of the protections the FWL-backed mining company could provide, and to that end they hired a mercenary outfit to take out key communication towers on Labouchere. Unwavering, the locals hired the Clifton's Rangers to bolster their defenses, though it didn't prevent the TMC from demolishing one of the ruins on Alula Borealis. Upset and filled with righteous fury, the locals pooled the rest of their resources together to extend their contract with the Rangers and sent them directly after the mercenaries the TMC hired. They met on the battlefield on Promised Land, where the Rangers sustained unacceptable losses and exercised their escape clause to withdraw.[1]
From the beginning, the Tamarind Mining Corporation had done their best to keep civilian casualties to a minimum. Defeating the locals' hired guns brought them to the negotiating table but the TMC felt the best course of action moving forward was to work more directly with the populace. While beginning the mining operations, they would take care to cause minimal disruption to the buried Star League facilities they hold so dear.[1]
