wdym verity commits hyper-capitalism

jakobs cove! shes responsible for all of her family’s operations on pandora and. unfortunately isnt a part of our class traitor agenda anymore, but she was when she was younger.

she made Plans with wainwright, though even with his support she felt like she was being smothered by living in the estate. eventually, she leaves for her own piece of the galaxy. yknow. the thing jakobs decided not to do when they abstained from the war.

she gets to the island and her first thought is “huh. feels like home.” and her second thought is profit. mostly out of spite. jakobs cove is her final compromise with monty to still be Family but to remain separate from the estate.

the first few rounds of workers were from eden-6, but lack of safety protocols and her sheer negligence for her men meant that injuries were common and they’d often need to be replaced. so she started pulling from bandit populations, which is how grogmouth discovered angel.

verity didnt have any pride in what she did, especially in her later years. she was running jakobs cove purely off of spite. it was intended to be just a branch off of the parent company, but after finding her footing she cuts most off-planet export, dealing with dahl and atlas more than she ever did with eden-6.

this separation doomed the island once verity died. the mill remained operational until post-BL1, but as a whole the lumber workers had been abandoned by jakobs. when ned came in with zombies, there was no evacuation called and everyone was left to defend themselves.

tldr: jakobs cove should have unionized and maybe put her in a guillotine. alas.
