The Britannian East Indigo Trading Company has a long, illustrious history reaching back hundreds of years to when Queen Elizabeth of Britannia granted its charter in G.R. 1600. Due to the Britannian League's position as a nexus for major trade routes throughout the Nehellium Galaxy, the BEITC was tasked with overseeing these routes and providing shipping services. It also traded in several valuable BrikVerse commodities such as transparent ore, textiles, tea, opium, and of course indigo.
The BEITC has grown to immense proportions in recent years, exerting more influence than some average star nations and negotiating on an even footing with other Superpowers. With a powerful lobby in the Britannian Parliament, the BEITC secured monopoly rights over control of Britannian trade routes. It has grown to develop its own independent army and navy to protect its interests, and secured governing authority over the Indigo Colonies. The Celestial Kingdom declared war on the BEITC over its sale of addictive opium. The result of that war resulted in the cession of control of the Saffron Colonies to the Britannian Colonial Office.
Although the BEITC is technically independent of the Britannian government, increasing concerns over corruption and minifig rights violations led the Crown to demand that the Court of Directors appoint a member of the royal family as CEO.
