==Overview==
Styx Mining was considered a poor step child to [[Metals of the Earth]] and [[New Samarkand Metals]], supported by [[House Kurita]] purely as a foil to both companies. Whenever both of its larger competitors hade drawn a disproportionate number of government contracts or were overextended and had no further capacity available, the Combine government redistributed some to Styx to pick up the slack. A heavy sense of fatalism had infected the company's boardroom as its corporate officers struggled with their purpose in the Combine and Styx Mining was not known for innovation outside of the design of paper [[JumpShip]]s.<ref name=HB:HKp166/><ref name=HK(TDC)p162/>

The company's working class on the other hand enjoyed a far less stressful environment. Since the Combine government heavily subsidized Styx, the lack of constant contracts meant its workers often find long stretches of time where no work was being done. Many workers were encouraged to join the planetary militia and ended up among the militia's midlevel officer corps thanks to the large amount of time they had free.<ref name=HK(TDC)p162/>
