Gobbersnauz Extraordinary Mining Venture Co.

After centuries of isolation the Gobbersnauz Extraordinary Mining(G.E.M) Venture Co. rose to the highest financial power of Xenacip. Dietrich Von Gobbersnauz IIVX, CEO of the G.E.M Venture Co., and the Gobbersnauz family has effectively been the ruling family of Xenacip for the past 100 years. The humans now referred to as Gobs roam and pillage Xenacip for the valuable resources that are yet claimed. Gobs who are employed by G.E.M. Venture Co. are often armed with the local favorite Rock Rigger 4502 Deluxe, a valuable tool able to easily reach into the depths of earth for precious resources.

Gobs
Gobs come in a variety of sizes, but typically feature greenish and bumpy skin. Some closer to heavy mining areas have come in contact with strange radioactive minerals deep in the earth, becoming insane and very territorial. Gobs are also prone to harmful mutations on birth, so to counteract this everyone is expected to reproduce as often as possible to increase total Gob population. Culture is varying but many favorites involve inventing new ways to make money, whether it be inventing new tools or mining themselves. Xenacip is a fairly lawless planet, so all Gobs are armed in some fashion but most or all carry cheap explosives on them for emergency cash grabs. There are many folktales of a deep cavern near the center of Xenacip with untold fortune, giving hope to those who may one day make it to the big leagues.

Xenacip Ruling Families
While Gobbersnauz is the most influential family, there are a number other families spread across the planet. The families rule over all commerce and politics on the planet, and most Gobs have to gain the favor of one or the other to make a profit for themselves. Gobs unable to do so are usually subject to the most hazardous of mining regions.
