Hortalez Et Cie

Hortalez Et Cie was founded in Madrid in 2293. The goal of the company was to provide quick transportation of small, high value cargoes and passengers between core worlds. As business increased, the company began to move target its services down the American, French, and Chinese arms of space. If you or your small cargo needed to be somewhere quickly, with a minimum of questions, Hortalez Et Cie was the courier company of choice.

What few people knew was that the highly successful and rapidly expanding cargo company was originally founded and funded by American Intelligence Services. The idea was to create a company that could clandestinely move intelligence assests, military forces, and gather information in areas that were off limits or hostile to America's interests.

The true nature of Hortalez Et Cie's business has never been uncovered and provided the perfect cover for America's battle against the Trilon corporation.
