Qi's Parent Company
"No, I don't know what its name is.
Yeah, I know. I know. 'How are we supposed to know when we run into them?'
Look, I'm gonna know, okay. I may be physically unable to recall the name, but like, come on, we'll recognize my face, right?"

[UNDISCLOSED MHECORP] is a major Media/Hospitality/Entertainment Corporation that serves systems across the galaxy. Though they are an independent corporation, they are associated with SSC and IPS-N like most MHECorps, though this one in particular side much closer with SSC.
Though historically the MHECorp specialized in work in front of or behind a camera, Hotelier/Hostess/Steward services were just a logical leap from the human infrastructure set up on the MHECorp homeworld, namely cloning from a single genetically modified stock.
The MHECorp claims that their genetically modified stock progenitor was born and raised in Cradle itself, cryogenned before the Fall and had a substantial amount of DNA preserved and viable for cloning. Despite being originally cloned on exceedingly primitive technology, her genetic stability was such that no clone produced since has more than a 16.3% genetic composition deviation. These claims are of course without proper citation and may be a result of corpropaganda and pre-Fall fetishism. The clones eventually unionized and performed a takeover of the corporation itself, installing clones in all seats of the Board of Directors and eventually phasing out non-clonal employees.
Operational Methodology
Most (if not all) clones undergo intensive neuroconditioning that alters their outlooks on life to fit neatly into their designated roles. As the management of the corp (Board of Directors, etc) are also all cloned from the same template who have all undergone some sort of neuroconditioning, no one in the corporation finds anything about this anomalous, and most "sisters" are neuroconditioned to be incurious about the way that other humans are raised. When making small talk about their family life, they may discuss being raised by their "mother" with the help of many "aunties" and taking care of "nieces," with no pictures to share. Any requests to get to know the past of any of these clones will be deferred to a later date or time, and promptly forgotten.
The cloning methodology is not without errors, especially with neurochemical balances. Though rare, neuroconditionally divergent individuals that do not fit their molds within acceptable tolerances are known to exist. Most, if not all, of these individuals are upcycled into other branches of the corporation, but it is rumored that some of these individuals have such neurosocial deviancy that it would be quicker, neater, and easier to simply brainwipe them and write them off.
This brainwiping of memories would happen in successive stages to insure completeness. Hypothetically, first to go are any names or substations within the corporation (including the name of the corporation), then any skills picked up from their work or training, finally any remaining non-basic memories or instincts. Each stage would potentially involve doublewiping the previous level of memories. It is also rumored that rejected clones are then sold off to black markets, where their neurosubjectivies would be overwritten for whatever purposes a black market buyer of cloned bodies may require them for.
Hypothetically, an individual with a partial brainwipe may, despite all odds, attempt to adhere to whatever function any remaining neuroconditioning may guide her towards. As the MHECorp would not be able to legally recognize the "unauthorized use of propitiatory intellectual property" without also recognizing the severe human rights and Utopian Pillar violations that occurred to have this "unauthorized use" occur in the first place, it may be encouraged to turn a blind eye to any would-be offenders.
