Corporate Motto

Printed in neat block lettering on white paper, the following motto is found in nearly every high-level Endron executive's workspace:

"The cost of the fine is always less than the cost of compliance."

Introduction

Endron is big business at its finest -- and at its worst. Hundreds of thousands of people, if not more, draw their paychecks from Endron or one of its direct subsidiaries. Within their ranks are saints and frightening sinners (albeit more and more of the latter every day), and thousands upon thousands of absolutely, utterly normal people. But mixed within the serried ranks of Endron employees are a few who, regardless of their relative position, are somehow a bit more effective at doing the Wyrm's work than others. They are just a bit more in tune with their inner corruption, a bit more adept at getting the firm to do their bidding, a bit less human than even their peers.

History -- The Kennedy Files

In the beginning there was Premium Oil. Founded, like the American oil industry as a whole, in the state of Pennsylvania, Premium rapidly metamorphosed into the corporate giant called Pentex. Along the way, however, it lost focus. With assets to snap up, competitors to crush and politicians to buy -- not to mention inhuman agendas to address -- the oil business began to suffer. Even worse, operations had been focused exclusively on the Pennsylvania oil fields, which while accessible, were also accessible to a great deal of Premium's competition, and which where thus getting tapped out at an alarming rate.

In 1916, the moment of truth arrived. Pentex' oil dealings were at a crisis level, and unless something were done, the entire operation could conceivably go under. Faced with the prospect of losing its cornerstone business, Pentex did the smart thing. Recognizing that the parent corporation could no longer do the business justice or give it the attention it needed. Pentex spun Premium's original assets off into a new, publicly owned corporation. The public offering of stock in Endron gave the struggling firm the shot of capital it needed, and the danger passed.

Needless to say, Pentex maintained a majority interest in the firm. As the years have passed and additional capital crises have forced additional stock sales, Pentex' shares in Endron have dropped below a majority, but it still owns the largest single voting block. Furthermore, with Endron stock performing well, the Board has quietly begun a buyback.

The next year, new alliances (corporate and otherwise) that Pentex made finally allowed Endron to expand its operations, and the company was well on its way to re-establishing itself as a major player in the petroleum field.
