Jupiter Mining Corporation

From Tongue Tied

The section of the Space Corps that licensed ships, like Red Dwarf, to mine asteroids for minerals (possibly a state owned company).

They made cut-backs before Red Dwarf left Earth for the last time, removing their Quark-level matter/anti-matter engine core and causing the ship to be laid out differently, including a karaoke bar on G-deck.

[edit] Trivia

The Jupiter Mining Corporation was a mining company that had an office at room 02-842 on the Promenade of Starbase Deep Space 9 in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine This establishment, which seems to be named after or originate from Jupiter, is listed on a Promenade directory map seen in many episodes of DS9. It is a deliberate reference to Red Dwarf.
