Hamilton Scooping

Hamilton Scooping Inc.



United Earth registered business on Titan. Founded in 2211 by Kirk Hamilton and Finbarr Hamilton.

Kirk begun his professional career as a Scooper ship pilot for Enroe Sol Dust Mining Inc. (The process of collecting interstellar dust, micro meteorites and small matter chunks has not been invented by Terrans, but no other known civilization made it into a major industry like the Terrans did.) The fast growing United Earth civilization had am unsatisfiable hunger for raw materials. Matter scooping was an easy process compared to actual roid and planet mining.

In 2209, Kirk was fired by ESDM being accused of damaging the billion credit scooper ship on purpose.

Using a Sol System Development Grant, Finbarr Hamilton his brother purchased the wrecked ship and together they repaired the ship and in 2211 Hamilton Scooping Inc. opened for business.

The company grew fast and in 2216 operated four scooper ship and an Ice mine on Titan.

Finbarr Hamilton died in 2216 of a sudden decompression accident as a mini meteor somehow penetrated the heavy armored hull of the scooper ship Finbarr operated. Finbarr's widow committed suicide as she heard of her husbands death by melting a hole into the window of her Titan surface home.

In 2217 it opened a Sccop matter refinery and a Ice to Water purification plant, employing almost 2000 Titanians in 2219.

The company was mostly scooping inside the Saturn rings, despite the 2209 Treasury of Humanity act that made it a criminal offense to damage the Rings of Saturn.

In 2223 Hamilton Scooping ship Eight was stopped and boarded by Federal Police. The crew arrested and the Scooping ship seized.

Kirk sued  Federal Police claiming that they were enforcing United Earth laws and not Union laws and therefore were out of jurisdiction.

The Court agreed with him and Hamilton Scooping resumed harvesting matter of the Saturn rings.

The Assembly of the Union created the Natural Treasure protection Act in 2230 and a list of Natural treasures to be protected. The Rings of Saturn being the very top natural treasure on that list.”

Kirk Hamilton detonated a Nul Graviton mine in the Saturn Rings (see Union versus Hamilton Case ).

While Kirk Hamilton won the actual vandalism charge in court, he was charged with the possession of a Class X weapon and using it inside a Union star system.
