'''OGS Productions''' was a small [[holovid]] production company based in [[Solaris VII]]'s [[Xolara]] region.<ref name=HB:HSp120/><ref name=S:TRp18>''Solaris: The Reaches'', p. 18: "Xolara - OGS Productions (X-15)"</ref>

==Overview==
Based in a Xolaran factory refitted into a holovid studio, and named for the first initials of its three founders—[[Oscar Drayton]], [[Geraldine Fitz]], and [[Simon Freely]]—OGS Productions got its start making commercials for local clients. After years of struggling, barely breaking even, OGS hit the jackpot when it created ''The Sterling Hawks'' holovid series. Proving wildly popular across the entire [[Federated Commonwealth]], especially among teenage girls who idolised its formerly unknown young cast, the series secured the future of OGS and made its founders rich.<ref name=S:TRp18/>

The dramatic change in OGS Production's fortunes had a dark side however, resulting in increasing attention from local organized crime figures seeking a slice of OGS's royalties. In the winter of [[3054]], Oscar Drayton was wounded in a drive-by shooting by a low-ranked assassin reportedly with ''[[yakuza]]'' ties, followed by near constant harassment of the company - sabotage of OGS' sets and anonymous threats against the cast. OGS Productions paid these threats little mind, with production continuing on ''The Sterling Hawks'' and continuing to make more money than ever before, as well as developing ''The Scarlet Bands'' which would prove to be equally as popular.<ref name=S:TRp18/>

By the conclusion of the [[FedCom Civil War]] OGS Productions had been acquired by the Solaris Broadcasting Corporation, an effort by SBC's president [[Donald Torrent]] to expand the company into the mainstream market, with OGS' hit series noted for offering viewers a dramatic new look at the boom and bust of Solaris VII's [[:Category:Solaris Stables|minor stables]].<ref name=HB:HSp120/> As with many of the corporations and companies of Solaris, OGS Productions suffered heavily during [[Operation SHOWTIME]], the [[Word of Blake]]'s occupation of the Game World during the [[Jihad]]. A review of the financial position of Solaris corporations and stablea in [[3072]] secured by [[Hachiman Taro Electronics]] indicated that OGS Productions had suffered losses of 87% and at that stage was currently closed.<ref name=JSTBD-26>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 26: "Solaris VII Corporate Profiles"</ref>
