Paid work building cities
Torize pays people to find asteroids, build cities on them and haul the materials to the yards. The cities pay every week thereafter, and that weekly income is what the wages come out of.
The company has run in one form or another for well over a decade — first inside a larger mining group, then under a second name, and under its own since. It operates today as a division of the Czerka Corporation, holding its own yards, its own prospecting fleet and its own ground.
There is no shopfront and no order book. Every credit comes from ground that has been built on, which is why the wages arrive on a clock rather than on a sale.
ON THE BOARD NOW
| Mineral runs IV and V | Two loaded haulers bound for the yards. Fly one out, unload, bring it home empty. The ore is already aboard and it needs no experience — a login at each stop is all it asks. | 28,000,000 each About three weeks |
|---|---|---|
| Crew seats | Field prospector, city engineer, and logistics and freight. A weekly retainer on top of mission pay from the first week. | 3 open |
Board as of Year 27, Day 339. Czerka members claim Torize missions straight off the board; anyone else messages Xpofer Tomas and hears what is open. New jobs go up with each Torize Times.
WHERE THINGS STAND
| The crew | Three seats open, each with a weekly retainer on top of mission pay from the first week. Freight needs no prior experience at all. |
|---|---|
| The estate | Twenty-eight cities across thirteen asteroids, every one of them paying on the weekly run. |
| The ground | Nine prospecting fields held, six producing. Twenty mining squads working the deposits, and a survey squad sweeping new fields for the next rock. |
| The yards | Sixty stations. Twenty-five shipyards and eight factory stations, all thirty-three in production now. |
| The contract | City construction on Czerka worlds, for Czerka. No contract builds are posted at the moment; the asteroid programme is where the work is. |
Cities as of Year 27, Day 319; fields, squads and yards as of Day 325. What has changed since is in the Torize Times.
