In TTA we see the logos for Tukera Lines and for Akerut, a subsector-wide Tukera subsidiary. They are quite similar, the main difference being that Tukera has three triangular "fins" and Akerut only has one.
I have decided that the other subsector-wide subsidiaries have logos identical to that of Akerut except that the colors differ (Unfortunately we get no hint of the colors used by Tukera and Akerut). And then I got to speculating if there are any Tukera subsidiaries with two triangles in their logos?
The problem I run into is that Tukera and the subsector subsidiaries do complementary business: Tukera runs liners between major worlds and the subsidiaries run feeder lines between minor and major worlds. A sector-wide subsidiary that ran liners between major worlds would compete directly with Tukera. Would that be a problem? Perhaps competing with yourself could have advantages?
Anyway, assuming that a sector-wide subsidiary wouldn't be allowed to run passenger liners, what would they be doing instead?
(Note that I'm not saying that sector-wide subsidiaries must necessarily exist. I'm asking, IF they exist, what would be their business model?)
Or could there be a reason why some of the subsector subsidiaries were allowed two triangles in their logos? Seniority, performance, different company structure? Akerut is a wholly-owned subsidiary. Could there be subsidiaries that have more diversified stock ownership?
