The Arx Capital Exchange, or ACE, is the financial and industrial apparatus of the Arx System and the Dark Council as a whole. While the ACE is considered a relatively new operation, in truth the nascent Arx Capital Exchange has been a functional arm of the Iron Throne since the beginning in various forms. Initially, the ACE was a small investment holding company used to siphon funds in and out of the Iron Throne's coffers. However, due to the growth and maturity of the financial assets and capital holdings under the Dark Brotherhood territories' authority, a truly galactic scale corporate entity has grown up in its wake. The ACE has many branches and off-shoots that fuel the industrial and economic capacity of the Arx System and the Dark Brotherhood as a whole.
Organization
The Arx Capital Exchange is headed by its Chief Executive Officer and President, Rhent Ghosan. CEO Ghosan is assisted in his day-to-day administration of this massive corporation by the various Executive Vice Presidents of the various operating units that make up ACE. Specifically, the EVPs of the ACE Shipyard Division, ACE Financial Services Division, ACE Holdings Division, and ACE Limited Division make up the Corporate Steering Committee. This cadre of entrepreneurs, industrialists, and financial bankers are the best and brightest civilian minds within the Arx System. While it may at first appear these men and women are responsible for running a major corporation, in truth they are the brain-trust entitled to manage the economic viability and financial performance of the Dark Brotherhood territories in general and keep the Iron Throne financially solvent.
The ACE's Corporate Headquarters is centered within the ACE Shipyards. Each of the operating Divisions have an office suite embedded within the ACE Shipyard as well as their own operations hub located across the Arx System and indeed across the galaxy at large depending on the scope of their business holdings. The total workforce of the ACE is known to few, but it is known that at least 50,000 civilians work for the ACE either directly or through the ACE's holdings and ownership in various other business entities. It is often joked that all residents of the Arx System work for ACE, they simply do not know it yet.

Arx Capital Exchange Commodities Limited
Arx Capital Exchange Commodities Limited, or ACE Limited for short, is the organization's resource and logistics brokerage arm. ACE Limited directly mines and sources raw materials that feed the industrial capacity of the Arx Capital Exchange Shipyard as well as stockpiling critical war material for the Iron Forces. ACE Limited is uniquely positioned for this function, as the segment owns mineral rights for doonium on Lothal, Umbara, Samovar, and the Socorro Asteroid Belt. Likewise, ACE Limited is heavily invested in the exploration and extraction of kyberite veins in order to mine and utilize kyber crystals. Between this stock of doonium and kyberite, whose stock is only known by CEO Ghosan and the Dark Council, ACE is prepared to be self sufficient if need be in keeping the military industrial complex operational even if Arx was under a full-scale blockade.
