BGG Food Corporation
"Your home away from home."
History:
No one can rightly say where he came from, or if he truly was who he said he was, but Bubba, as he insistently calls himself, certainly left no doubts as to his credentials.
Clearly related to the founder and proprietor of Tursobis Sector's Bubba's Gas and Grub, the BGG Food Corporation (no points for guessing what BGG's supposed to stand for) began on the most surprising of notes when an application for the business was submitted to the office of one Magistrate Ariel Hanson, and with the express approval of her Vice Magistrate, Mar Sara's former Magistrate, at that!
On a separate note, Vice Magistrate Miles Corrington had the most phenomenally delicious batch of "Mutawings and Mutadip" for lunch later that day.
From there, Bubba quickly made use of funds, manpower and resources he had clearly been gathering for quite a while now, sourced from a great many of the Terran refugees, Dumassas' own fair crop of businessfolks, no small number of the Raiders and, surprisingly again, from the Governess herself.
Apparently the Nica household also had a generous batch of Mutawings and Mutadip that night, but that's also a clearly unrelated story, don't listen to those false rumors of bribery and such nonsense.
With these resources, the BGG Food Corp set up two initial locations, one for each of the capitals of both nations, boasting a sign of Bubba's Gas and Grub, it's famous Mutawings and even a several new partnerships with local machine shops and garages (apparently not too many locals had space trucks and needed plasma recharges, though some did still needed gas distributed from local sources).
While some would have thought some rivalry may have arisen between Bubba's and Wings of Char, nothing really came of it, as Wings of Char had, for now, settled on focusing on the restaurant scene.
Bubba, however, had other plans.
Other Goods and Services:
Bubbas's Stop and Drop
Following the success (or repeat success???) of Bubba's Gas and Grub, BGG Food Corp unveilled Bubba's Stop and Drop, its new budget motel franchise and package delivery service.
Taking advantage of the increasing tourism and business boom on Dumassas, Bubba's began setting up affordable yet good quality hospitality services for incoming tourists. While a few additional warehouses and redistribution centers hired locals and their newly beloved Mohican ATVs to earn money ferrying packages to and fro homes, businesses, and the occasional dropship captain. Meanwhile, locally sourced trucks allowed services to reach factories, the spaceport and even government sites.
Bubba's Sing and Shoot
Perhaps the most surprising addition to date, Bubba's new line of Karaoke-Bar-Slash-Shooting-Range businesses have proven a smashing hit by catering to two very human urges: shooting stuff and making noise.
Boasting a well stocked bar, bartender (more than one included depending on location), pool table, jukebox (featuring a tracklist copied over from Commander Raynor's own machine!), each Sing and Shoot offers patrons two ways of venting both stress and emotion:
A set of fully equipped karaoke booths and rooms with all the necessary equipment to let you sing your heart out and all the songs you need to sing your heart out with. Featuring such classics like Terran Up the Night, Another Hydralisk Bites the Dust, and Every Rose Has Its Thor! Even round-the-clock food and drink service so everyone and your friends can sing their throats dry, then wet them, then dry them over and over and over again. All of this with full soundproofing and insulation.
Or! Or, or they can head on down to the adjacent shooting gallery with its varying sets of shooting ranges and thematic combat simulation grounds complete with props, ambush points and on-site ex-military OpFor to give you that intense session of kill-or-be-killed! Complete with round-the-clock ammo (comes in rubber, paint and other less-than-lethal options) and grenade service so everyone and their friends can go "kill"... everyone and their friends again, and again, and again!

The Future:
The BGG Food Corp. has made no secret of the fact that it fully intends on reclaiming its former reputation as a space-based business. The Corporation plans on purchasing its own line of space-based facilities such as its own series of recharging stations complete with similar facilities as can be currently found on both current and future planetary holdings. It's expansion into a galactic food brand is also a future goal, with researchers already working hard to perfect Bubba's now famous Mutamix for application onto a wider range of food products. Bubba's has also began inquiries into sourcing starship grade fuels and parts for the expansion of its eventual catalogue space-based goods and services.
The Personal Details:
It is not fully known who Bubba truly is. Not much was known, and neither was there much demand for such information prior to "the Jump", as some have called it. In fact, there is not much means of finding out the full truth. Recordings of Bubba's Gas and Grub advertisements on Donny Vermillion's UNN broadcasts remain a dead end as the ad's voiceover cannot be determined to be Bubba, and while some have said there is a great deal of resemblance, experts have posited that it may be due to "wishful thinking" or a auditory placebo effect of sorts.
Regardless, the taste of this "Bubba's" Mutawings have been repeatedly reported on as the exact same taste of the brand found in Korpulu, as attested to by those who truly did stop by the eponymous pit stop.
That alone has been enough proof for most, that Bubba truly is who he says he is.
And yet, that brings only more questions. How the hell did Bubba end up with the Refugee fleet. When did he join? And with who? The Agria colonists? Meinhoff? New Folsom?
Personal records have thus far been spotless, in both misdemeanors AND personal data. While spectres secretly brought in on interviews have thus far cleared the man of any malicious intentions or thoughts and are similarly confounded by the lack of any truly enlightening facts on who he truly is. Not to mention on the WHYs of his current circumstances.
It certainly didn't help when Bubba, himself, was asked these questions.
"Well, why THE HELL not!?"

Follower38 how's this for a new company? I may have written myself into something for apocrypha if Bubba's circumstances are incompatible for this fiction. If so, I can just write the proprietor as a relative of Bubba's who was young and bored enough to join the Raiders for "heroism" and still had the Mutawing recipe in his noggin.
