TMP

TMP, nominally Terran Manufacturing & Production State Enterprise, is a Terran state-owned company. It designs and manufactures heavy machinery, engines, ships and weapons. This mostly includes mining equipment, mining ships, transporter ships and ammunition. It is the main successor of the Terran State Corporation. Its military production has slowed down over the years and it now almost exclusively produces ammunition and artillery pieces. It is one of the companies which makes the most widespread use of droids, most of them manufactured in house. It is headquartered in Sydney, on Earth. 
TMP is one of the largest state-owned corporations of the Federation. It mostly operates within the Federation and the dominions. It is the largest manufacturer of mining and construction equipment and mining ships in the Federation. This makes it an important partner of C2I. TMP also produces machines, robots and droids for factories. It is also the main provider of explosives such as grenades and artillery pieces for the Terran Army. TMP produces ammunition for both the Federal Navy and the Federal Army. TMP was the largest manufacturer of thrusters for spaceships in the Federation, before the rise of Hormax following its acquisition by Clarktech. TMP produces some of the most widespread private transport ships on the market. This includes small ships such as the 40m long TMP Type-A, medium ships like 300m long TMP Type-D and the very large 600m long TMP Type-F "Talos". It is currently developing the TMP Type-G "Atlas", which aims to be a 1km+ long private transport ship which can be manned by a crew of only 50. These ships have sometimes been called the "backbone of the Federation", as nearly all intersystem and international trade is conducted with these ships. The smaller variants are affordable even to single individuals and can often be piloted by only 5 people, allowing for a relatively cheap way to start a transporting company. 
TMP has two divisions. TMP Armaments makes ammo, artillery and explosives for military, whilst TMP Heavy Engineering creates mining equipment, ships and droids.
