Summary

Unicorp is a monopoly that unites all its citizens together as its employees to conquer Planet by industrial might. Their careful industrial planning can outbuild any other faction on Planet, but their callous outlook towards humans and Planet can hurt them when they least expect it.

Backstory

The first two factions to form on the ship, beyond the Society of Free Thought itself, were centered around the employees of Dai Seung Heavy Industries and the Catholic colonists amongst the mission, as both had natural leaders that were not directly amongst the command staff itself. Dai Seung Heavy Industries, a South Korean mining and construction contractor, had been selected as a contractor to help rapidly establish infrastructure on Chiron, with a Dai Seung Vice-President of Operations, Young Kwan-Yong, assigned as the head of the Dai Seung contingent. Vice-President Young immediately organised his employees and other colonists who turned to Dai Seung into a regimented hierarchy, seizing control of a portion of the ship, grabbing supplies, and instituting a rationing regime.

Dai Seung Heavy Industries, upon landing on Chiron, found itself in complete control of the personnel in its colony, with a virgin world ripe for the taking. In recognition of the fundamental break with Dai Seung's past history, Vice President Young soon renamed Dai Seung to 'New Unity Industries', with himself as chief executive officer, putting every aspect of the new colony's economy under New Unity administration. New Unity Industries, which almost immediately earned the informal nickname of 'Unicorp' on all levels of New Unity society, immediately set to building the infrastructure of survival. Every citizen of Unicorp was an employee, and every employee had a job assigned, whether they liked it or not. Unicorp rapidly developed the industries needed to survive- but many of Unicorp's workers suffered greatly in the process of ensuring the collective survival of their colony.

The Unicorp Solution is a mission statement book, and the one major book Young did. A lot of the written material from Unicorp is, instead, internal bureaucratic directives.

The Unicorp Solution argues that massive engineering projects to ensure the world is reshaped as quickly as possible provides the most secure possible basis for human survival. 'Terraform! Terraform! Terraform!'
