“It's never straightforward with you SubLight folk.
„—Nyoka to Lilya Hagen
The SubLight Salvage and Shipping Corporation, also known as SubLight Salvage and Shipping or simply SubLight , is a corporation which operates from the Groundbreaker. SubLight is a network of "salvagers" with business ties to "transportation" and "waste disposal". A tangled web of contractors and secretive vice presidents make up their official hierarchy, leaving no one to speak on the record about SubLight's more legally dubious activities.
Background[]
According to director Lilya Hagen, operating off of Groundbreaker, SubLight "occupies a legal blind spot. No one knows what [they're] licensed to do, and that gives [their] little business some freedom." As a result, SubLight as a business operates activities that would be considered illicit by some, amoral by others, and at odds with the Board, such as the takeover of abandoned space habitats, smuggling contraband, and serving as a front for companies to bypass the infamous Hazard Clause applied on Monarch. Although the Board tolerates and sees the value of SubLight's activities, there are still limits to what the latter can get away with.[1]
SubLight maintains an office aboard the Groundbreaker as well as a settlement on Monarch known as Fallbrook.

Additional information[]

But if we were to move in a commandeer the station as a SubLight Salvage remote office, that's a different matter. Legally gray by comparison. More of a squatter situation."

As a guest of honor, you deserve the best in comfort! Sublight Salvage and Shipping Underground - or SLUG, as we like to call ourselves - is delighted to welcome you to Eridanos! I'm the Grand Colonial head bellhop, here to grab your bags and direct you, the inspector, to the Grand Ballroom, which was the scene of the crime."
