StarTech

StarTech is a "nebulous (lol) conglomerate of many odds and ends that could be picked up and expanded on by anyone who needs a convenient BIG BUSINESS to be doing stuff."

Their primary interest in Peregrine has been to facilitate "rapid development" of the area, essentially trying to buy up all the land of "old" Peregrine and overhaul it to the modern era. If land development is seen as a bad thing, then they could very well be considered bad guys.

They do provide a great deal of resources to the infrastructure of the city, utilizing direct or supporting influence upon many of the more streamlined and franchised businesses around New Peregrine. Even when it comes to places like Curios, you can't take too many steps behind the curtain before finding StarTech in the backdrop propping this or that up. In many ways, you could say the whole of New Peregrine was jump-started by this one corporation's interests.
