Argent Mining

From Traveller Wiki - Science-Fiction Adventure in the Far future

Argent Mining Inc

Administered from Chou (0210 Magyar), Argent Mining is a member of the Wuan Technology Association. The firm maintains mining and refining operations thoughout Magyar and Dark Nebula Sectors. Occasionally, Argent employs tailored human clones or androids for operations in hostile environments or when a labor force for an important project is needed quickly.

The company's birth-labs produce humans of specific genotypes to perform as Workers, Managers, Clerks, and other functions. The clones are raised in corporate creches and receive education through deep-psych tape-study. These tapes provide a psychological structure for their recipients - the clones will only be happy doing the work they were designed to do. This guarantees a productive work force, but unfortunately, such populations are not terribly effective at responding to new circumstances.
