Applejuice Consortium

Description
The Applejuice Consortium is equal parts religious organization, philosopher's guild, and mega-corporation.

Ambition
The people of the Applejuice all share a common obsession: the obtainment of all things golden. Even though the Applejuice are among the only space-faring civilizations which employ the metal Gold as a currency, they have managed to redefine the otherwise worthless metal into a resource sought after galaxy-wide.

Applejuice starships are composed almost entirely of Quadtanium-Gold alloys.

Applejuice
Applejuice is the current Applejuice of the Applejuice people. Actually a clone of the Prime Applejuice, this Applejuice has shown a propensity to tact diplomatic posturing, and Applejuice.

Lore
According to the prime history codex of the Golden State University-World, the Applejuice species ascended to a higher state of existence long, long ago. Eventually, however, the people of the Applejuice grew dissatisfied. Tiring of their dull, colorless spiritual reality, they once again ascended, recursing back into a physical existence.

Adapting to the world in which they found themselves, the Applejuice people formed a Consortium of government entities, educational bodies, and vast corporations which all seek out the Applejuice obsession with gold in all of its forms.

The Applejuice are currently in fierce competition with The Cult of Prosperity, as the later empire has taken to amassing large stockpiles of gold for use in their space-whale tooth replacement industry.

Mantras
The Applejuice people have a rich tradition of mantras. Throughout history, they have engaged in the practice of "rhythm and poetry", an art perfected by a mysterious entity which they worship.

What follows is a list of ill beats compiled by the Resplendent Research Council at the behest of the Mantra Conglomerate.

This mantra was composed by the sitting Prime Applejuice, Applejuice, and featured prominently in his electoral campaign. The Resplendent Research Council believes this mantra to be responsible for his election:

"throughout history we have gone by many names only one thing is constant resonating through time t ranscending space itself  and that is  applejuice"

Consortium
Being a consortium, the Applejuice faction is by definition an association of many moving parts.
 * The Office of the Prime Applejuice: governmental entity responsible for foreign affairs.
 * ForEx Space Industries: manufacturing company responsible for the maintenance of the standing forces.
 * Golden Russet Communications Company: primary media organization. Responsible for the maintenance of the Dramatic Space Opera Archive.
 * LOHAC Stock Exchange: due to an unfortunate legal battle involving a number of blind "lawyers", the Office of the Prime Applejuice must defer to the LOHACSE for all matters concerning trade.
