Corporations

The universe is full of corporate entities with a wide variety of specializations. Within the Trans-Solar Federation alone, there have to be millions, given their territory reaches to hundreds of colony planets. And that says nothing of the other empires and nations of the galaxy such as the Skrell. This page serves to document some of the known corporations, for ease of reference.

Trans-Solar Federation Corporations

NanoTrasen

Founded by Johnathan Nexus and Michael Trasen in the former United States territories in the 2090's, NanoTrasen were pioneers of efficient solar and turbine power generation. These technologies made them a staple of the fledgling Trans-Solar Federation's spacefaring ambitions. NanoTrasen controls several dozen mining colonies across the fringes of TSF space, renowned or infamous for their working conditions and treatment of unions. During the Kidan War, they pivoted briefly to weapons manufacturing, earning them special privileges within the TSF.

In 2475, NanoTrasen struck a deal with Stellar Vanguard Solutions, which then became Central Command. NanoTrasen would allow CentComm to man and run their stations, handling personnel and supplies, while NanoTrasen handled repairs and built new stations. In this deal, earnings and scientific research were split between the two partnered corporations.

Cybersun

Founded by Su Yongnian in the former China territories in the 2090's, Cybersun were leading experts in cybernetics, advanced computing, and even true sapient Artificial Intelligence Programs. These developments were incredibly useful to the Trans-Solar Federation, which used AI to pilot and manage early spacecraft while their crews would hibernate in stasis over long flights. Because of their prominence, Cybersun is able to maintain dozens of mining colonies across the fringes of TSF space.

Cybersun has always been a staunch rival with NanoTrasen, blaming them for the Mars Incident which caused mass death across much of the former China territories around 2125. Because of this, unbeknownst to the public and the TSF, Cybersun were one of the major backers of the Generation 1 Syndicate. When the Syndicate fell after the Pod Wars, Cybersun was one of the many corporations able to evade incrimination, and continued to operate legally within the TSF. Today, they once again secretly back the Generation 2 Syndicate, supplying them with technology like the PAI's, Antimov Law Boards, Holoparasites, Juggernaut Hardsuits, and more.

Interdyne

Interdyne Pharmaceuticals is a conglomerate that specializes in medical technology and drug manufacturing. They earned their fortunes as one of the primary manufacturers for medical equipment and supplies for the Trans-Solar Federation during the Kidan War, Cygni Crisis, and Pod Wars. While they did business with both the Trans-Solar Federation and the Union of Soviet Socialist Planets during the Pod Wars- war profiteering under the guise of humanitarian efforts- Interdyne was not actually involved at all with the Generation 1 Syndicate. One of their primary rivals at the time, MedTek, was at the time the provider of medicine and medical equipment to the Syndicate. When their involvement was discovered after the war, with help from Interdyne paid private investigators, MedTek was eliminated by the TSF and their assets were seized and auctioned, with much of it being purchased by Interdyne. Interdyne today plays all sides equally, continuing their war profiteering as always, now between the Trans-Solar Federation and the Generation 2 Syndicate.

Vulcan Industries

Vulcan Industries was never one of the top players on the galactic scale, but they have always maintained a consistent, fairly healthy even, work ethic and culture- something rare amongst the other corporations within the Trans-Solar Federation. Over the last 200 years, they have slowly risen in renown and earn more and more lucrative contracts as a result. Their focus was initially on infrastructure, creating vast steel highways, spacedocks, building factories. However, following the assassination of their CEO, Viktor Iavarone, in 2415 by the Syndicate, they began to pivot into military production as well.

The most famous of their weapons is the Crusher line. Using extremely high-frequency vibrations, their plastitanium blades are capable of withstanding even the heat of the Plasma Sword, which they were designed to counter. Crusher technology saw extensive use in the Pod Wars, with Crusher Swords, Daggers, and Glaives being a favored weapon of the soldiers of the Trans-Solar Federation when breaching an enemy ship's hull.

While their military use has fallen to the wayside in the modern day somewhat, Crusher weapons are still heavily employed by Salvagers, Scrappers, and other contractors who regularly use them to deconstruct wrecked shuttles and fight whatever monstrosities are lurking within. Crusher Swords specifically can also still be found at the hip of most Central Command and Trans-Solar Federation officials, partially for practical self defense and partially for ceremony.

Skrellian Central Authority Corporations

Mal'quell

Translating roughly to "Science of the Stars", Mal'quell are one of the top producers of high end luxury shuttles in the galaxy. Owning a Mar'quell Shuttle is a symbol of extreme wealth and importance, in some ways even more strongly within the Trans-Solar Federation than it is within Skrell territory. The shuttles are comfortable, lavish, inordinately expensive, and seen as 'exotic' by the human elites.

Vey'Saqee

Known outside the SCAC as Vey-Medical, Vey'Saqee is one of the leading producers of medical equipment. Most advanced surgical tools not developed by NanoTrasen's researchers, originated with Vey.
