HOW TORIZE WORKS

Torize pays people to build cities. Crews build on asteroids Torize owns, which pay every week thereafter, and the company has long built on Czerka worlds under contract as well.

Both halves are deliberate, and both exist so that the wages are steady. A city on built ground pays on a fixed weekly run whether the galaxy is trading, at war, or asleep, and that steadiness is the whole reason the company is built this way.

Asteroids in particular, because they are cheap ground, they carry their own mineral deposits within reach of the build site, and a two-by-two rock takes four cities.

THE ASTEROID ESTATE

Prospectors scan open squares in the fields Torize holds and call which rocks are worth taking. Engineers put cities on the ones that clear. Freight runs materials out to the build sites and ore back to the stations. The yards turn that ore into the barques that work the next field. The fields and the mining run are covered in full elsewhere. It is a closed loop by design, and it means there is always work ready — nobody sits idle waiting to get paid.

CONTRACT CONSTRUCTION

Torize builds FI cities on Czerka worlds under contract. Czerka supplies the minerals and the ships, keeps the cities and sets the fee. How that contract runs is set out on its own page. It is the oldest work the company does and a good share of what it owns today was paid for out of it.

No contract builds are posted at the moment, so the asteroid programme is where the work is. Prospecting gates how fast that estate can grow, which is why survey sweeps are on the board alongside the hauling.

WHAT TORIZE DOES NOT DO

No public mineral market. Torize itself runs no shopfront and does not want one, so offers of trade will be answered politely and passed to Czerka, whose call that is.

Construction contracts are a different matter, and so are partnerships on ground and prospecting rights. Those we will hear — message Xpofer Tomas.

If any of that sounds like work you want, here is what it pays.
