Index of Business: Corporations Conglomerates
✅ Definition: Conglomerate (per creator)
A Conglomerate is a business that is primarily single-planet- based, with 5 or more subsidiaries, trading across no more than 4 solar systems. Distinct from a MegaCorporation (operations across 5+ solar systems).
This category is a mid tier: larger than an individual local business, but not yet MegaCorporation scale.
✅ Categorization Principle: Primary Business Activity (per creator)
Corporations are listed under their primary business activity, not lumped into a generic "Corporations" bucket. For example, a restaurant chain/conglomerate (illustrative example given by the creator: "Leur's Restaurants," a multi-brand restaurant corporation) would be listed under Restaurants, not here — with each individual brand also getting its own listing, since players can walk into any one of them directly.
Every standalone facility or business operation a player or NPC can interact with — whether a "mom and pop" establishment, a large company, or a subsidiary of a Conglomerate or MegaCorporation — gets indexed under its proper Business subcategory.
This "Corporations & Conglomerates" category, then, is reserved specifically for corporate parent entities that don't have one clear primary activity category to sit under (true multi-industry conglomerates), or for the parent-company page itself when its brands are separately indexed elsewhere.

Open Questions
- "Leur's Restaurants" was given as an illustrative example of this categorization principle, not (as far as confirmed) an existing in-universe entity — no page has been created for it, to avoid inventing brand names/details not provided
