Counters Guild

The Counters Guild is responsible for all legal banking in the UTC and FoS. Most Cults and Guilds pay in scrip that can be turned in to the Counters for cred. The downside of this is that they frequently notice large sums being moved, leading most scoundrels and lowlifes to manage large credit expenditures on the side. The Counters made their fortune by owning patents to terraforming engines, though rumor has it they can’t produce any more, and simply ferry the existing ones carefully to any new systems found. Although not always friendly to scoundrels and smugglers, the Counters will build large repositories to store goods (even dangerous goods), no questions asked. If you can meet their price, these repositories (often built in space or in remote locations) are some of the safest ways to hold anything from treasures to illegal goods and artefacts. Plundering such a trove has been the dream of many a pirate and scoundrel, but the few that have succeeded have witnessed the kind of assassins and bounty hunters a Guild that literally controls money can hire.
