The Kazimierz General Chamber of Commerce (K.G.C.C.) is a Terran organization and the antagonistic faction in the Kazimierz Major trilogy (Maria Nearl, Pinus Sylvestris, and Near Light). It is one of the three ruling bodies of the National Council of Kazimierz that is composed of Kazimierzian mega-corporations and companies and their representatives in the Council.
The K.G.C.C. is also one of the three Kazimierzian factions that the player can establish relations with through the Prestige system in Near Light, alongside Adeptus Sprawiedliwi Kazimierz and Armorless Union.
Background[]
As a result of the knight servant incident, corporations are given more power than traditional knights, leading to the formation of various guilds and "knightclubs" under the K.G.C.C.'s supervision. And among the three, the K.G.C.C. holds the largest amount of political power. But to some conservative campaign knights, their existence as well as their greed are blasphemies to the glorious knightly tradition.
Despite its enormous authority, the K.G.C.C. is not truly a united body. There are extremist factions that want to annihilate the knightly tradition regardless of morals and those who only desire profit. On the other hand, there are also moderates who wants to build a healthy relationship with the campaign knights and bring gradual reformation to the political body.[1]
