The Red Stripe Trading and Logistics Company
The Red Stripe Trading Company was formed by Bartholomew Bronson with investments from controversial figures such as Sire William Skeat and Jekyll Vortivask, alongside his own funds. Initially based in Ashdale's Kharazi colonies following the coup d'etat upon the previous governor, Sir Angus McPherson, the company siezed a small portion of the Dominion's tobacco plantations and, once the first crews were formed, established itself across Kandarin, Southern Misthalin and the Wushanko Isles.
The company's name comes from slang within Ashdale to denote a foreign sailor, or a 'red bander'. After the region gained independance from Asgarnia, many of the crews changed their ensigns to incorporate a red band diagonally from the top left to the bottom right.
Due to it's controversial investors and quick rise into the limelight, the company is seen by many as a threat in a broad range of senses, with Asgarnia condemning it as a criminal enterprise, labelling many of the affiliated captains as pirates.
Nevertheless, the company is overwhelmingly popular with merchants from Ashdale, and known throughout Port Sarim, Port Khazard, Camelot, Burthorpe and Ardougne. Alongside this, the Arc's residents have welcomed it with open arms. Captains working with the company are known to be efficient and quick witted, and overall the Red Stripe brand has a positive reputation behind it. Commonly traded goods include building materials such as bamboo, weaponry from both east and west, gunpowder, and luxury goods such as tobacco and vanilla. In recent times, the company has been expanding into the mining and production markets across the globe.
