Description

Johnson's Rock is a planet in the Signus system and is rich in heavy minerals and industrial gemstones. The Olepak Corporation sponsored the first colonization efforts in an attempt to exploit the natural resources of Johnson's Rock. Olepak invested heavily in infrastructure and tranportation costs for miners and their familes to relocate to Johnson's Rock. In the past two hundred years the Olepak Corporation has steadily erroded the pay and rights of the workers in order to maximize profits and increase mining quotas to fulfill increasing demand for raw materials, especially metals and industrial grade diamonds. The workers have endured a stagnation in pay and an increase in workhours to the point where the average worker works 70+ hours a week in horrific conditions. Olepak Corporation has also instituted a company store policy and most miners are indebted to the Olepak Corporation for the next decade just to put food on the table and a roof over their families heads. Mining on Johnson's Rock is extraordinarily hazardous and miners have a 10% death rate per year. The mining families are trapped on world and sons an daughters with no other options hire on with the Olepak Corporation as miners or support staff. In the last few months miners have begun protesting their treatment and many mines have temporarily shut down due to strikes by miners. The Olepak Corporation hired thugs to break the strikes and more than a few arms as well. A few ringleaders for the miner's groups have been found murdered or dead in a mine shaft and no one has been charged with the crimes. In the wake of the deaths, the various mining groups have hired the Thunderbolt Division with the promise of a percenage of the profits if the miner's take over operations themselves. The Olepak Corporation in turn has hired the Regiment to squash the rebellion and push the Thunderbolt Division off planet.
