Salvador Sarpati founded the Serpentis Corporation as a holistic cutting-edge R&D company, with a core comptenency in biochemistry. Rumours of illegal research, shady deals and underworld connections grew in frequency as the corporation moved its operations more and more into lawless space, and by the time the Gallente Federation started seriously pursuing the tycoon and his corporation it was already too late - he had installed himself in Fountain and was all-but untouchable. Today Sarpati is rumoured to live in luxury in his own outpost in Serpentis Prime, while his corporation pursues unfettered research in Boosters and other illegal hardware, and his Guardian Angel allies ensure the security of his domain.
The Serpentis Corporation was founded a few decades ago by V.Salvador Sarpati. At first it was engaged in hi-tech research, but with time its ties with the underworld grew and the Serpentis research stations, scattered around in remote areas, became infamous pirate havens. Sarpati made a deal with the Angel Cartel early on to provide protection for his stations and the duty was taken on by the Guardian Angels. Both sides have prospered enormously for this deal - Serpentis can operate in peace and the Angel Cartel gets access to the illegal research efforts of the Serpentis. It is strongly believed that Serpentis is the main developer and manufacturer of illegal neural boosters, especially since Sarpati's father was a renown specialist in that field. The home of Serpentis is in the Phoenix constellation in the Fountain region.
