The Eridani Trust is a corporate manorialist coalition of super-companies formerly based in Epsilon Eridani on Janus. It owned the planets Janus and Gaia as well as settlements in Tau Ceti. Most of the company was taken over in a coup by the Sirius Military Consulate during the Sirius Conflict. Today most of the trust's holdings in other systems have broken up into separate companies or have been bought up by other trusts and its future remains greatly in doubt. James is a member of the Eridani Trust.

Beginnings on Janus
The Eridani Trust began as one of the first private speculative ventures into other solar systems. Thanks to new astrological evaluations made by Sirius Station, an Earth-like planet with a high probability of liquid water was estimated to be in orbit around the star Epsilon-Eridani. After the 9 years and 142 days, Daedalus 4 arrived at Epsilon Eridani to discover that it was inhabited by native alien life, albeit unintelligent. The Eridani Trust now owned the only wormhole, and effectively the planet. This planet was christened Janus, as it would provide an astrological staging area for future jumps beyond Sirius, opening new doors for the Trust.
