Organisations & Companies

The following is a list of mayor companies

The government
granted him trillions of credits in order to establish his school on Luna,
Earth's moon. The facility incorporated dozens of new technologies at the time
to include artificial gravity and long term life support. While those systems
are now out of date, the old school now teaches the newer technological marvels
such as antimatter and dark energy.

ITI or 'Itty' is
not difficult to be accepted into although it is very difficult to pay for
without a scholarship or exceptional grades. The academy often pushes out
paying students in exchange for government grants which barely keeps the school
afloat. However the students who graduate from the facility are more than not
the best of the brightest.

The school
offers housing for about a hundred or so students which have graduated their
first year. These students are often referred to as the 'Cadre' and are charged
with maintaining the school's highly complicated systems as well as protecting
the school's initiates. The 'Dauntless' are charged with maintaining the
school's equipment which is even more advanced than the school itself. These
include fighters, generators, targeting systems and much more. Occasionally the
Monastery sends a particularly gifted student to cross-train in Magi-tech
although this is rare.

While the
Academy does not train pilots or other such forms of combatants, the Academy is
not limited to strictly infantry. Ship Captains and Admirals are trained here
as well as many other military officers. Although its main focus is officers,
the Academy does need a large body of enlisted and NCOs to pool their training
persons from.

The Mars Battle
Academy is very difficult to enter but also very easy to be dismissed. Entry
requires a superior score grade average in every class, peak physical
condition, a flawless criminal record and drug test as well as two letters of
personal recommendation from different Alliance Senators. Kicking out a recruit
can be caused by anything, even if it is merely that the Academy 'doesn't feel
you're qualified for the military'.

The Monastery
accepts students of all ages although younger students are preferred since they
are easier to teach. Once inside the Monastery it is not the easy life that
most mages expect. The Monastery is a place of knowledge which also means a
strict system. Students are in bed before nine and awakened before six. They are
fed once a day and given just enough water to survive. While not a cruel place,
the Monastery is somewhat stressful.

After retaining
some knowledge in a school of magic the Student is promoted to Adept which
incurs more daily chores. Daily chores include getting water from the well,
which is a strenuous task since there are thousands of students, tending the
boilers and other demanding physical skills to give mages some semblance of
healthy exercise. Adepts are more likely to be involved in chores as well as
being given more chores that are less stressing on the body but on the mind.

## General Manufacturing

### Balls Mart

Balls Mart is a
family-run business that has survived several economic downward spikes which
aims to provide many items for a low price to as many as they can. Their shops
can be found in most every station or city, many times more than one can be
found. "We're always here" Has been their moto from the start meaning
they never close their doors. This was made more than apparent when during a
rather massive flood on Yorkshire they sealed their main doors but kept the
doors on their roof to allow people to come and shop at their leisure They also
gave away free 'floaties' to children with every fifty credit purchase.

### Carl Marks Incorporated

After his father
gambled away his family's money Carl set out to do one thing, to provide for
his mother and ill sister. He drove hard bargains and made connections and as
time went on his company grew to the empire it is today. He also put money into
invest into the market as well as many odd ventures, some of which blew up in
his face while others bloomed and returned his investment tenfold. The company
now lies in the hands of his great-great granddaughter.

### The Omega Corporation

The Omega
Corporation is a secretive company that deals primarily in weapons and armor.
Additionally they are the Alliance Military’s main source of ammunition and
replacement parts for starships. As a large corporation they often field their
own military and therefore can be outside of Alliance jurisdiction which they
do not rely on like other companies for protection from pirates and raiders.

While the Omega
Corporation is a self-sufficient company they do rely heavily upon their
dealings with nations across the cosmos for financial support since they do not
have a large enough company to support themselves while still retaining their
large profits. However raw materials are gathered by the Omega Corporation
which also has its own factories meaning that at any moment the company could
become a sovereign nation.

It is still
unknown why the Corporation, with its billions of members, hasn’t yet declared
itself a nation or even a sub-government of the Alliance. However it is rumored
that the corporation practices unsavory ideas behind closed doors although no
one has managed to prove this.

In regards to
militia forces the Omega Corporation fields almost as wide a variety of units
as the Alliance. They are best known for their Artemis Exo-suit which carries a
wide variety of weapons and heavy armor to the battlefield while still
remaining mobile enough to engage infantry in close combat.

## Medical Companies

### Einstein Incorporated

Einstein Incorporated began as a small
store in the year 2078 owned by George Einstein. While rooted in a bad
neighborhood the drugstore routinely handed out free bottles of life-saving
drugs to patients that could not afford their medicines during the Second Great
Depression that had wracked so many surviving nations before the Alliance was
founded. Twenty years later the drugstore had become a small chain store and
many years after that when the Hierarchy war was in full swing it had become a
major economic superpower in a galactic market.

In
the modern world Einstein Incorporated makes the bulk of its profits from the
sale of cloned organs which are primarily bought by local hospitals for
patients that need transplants. The company has been accused of scandal many
times before for performing unethical surgeries in order to obtain these organs
as well as being accused of creating full clone individuals whom they harvest
organs from in order to keep their prices exceptionally low. These allegations
have never been proven in a court of law and additionally have been
mysteriously dismissed as hearsay by wealthy corporations that have
partnerships with Einstein.

The
original owner of the company however, had a spotless record and remains the
face of the company long after his death. He is remembered as a kind man who
did his best to improve the lives of everyone around him; no matter what the
price to his personal wallet or to his company. Through his actions many
Alliance soldiers have been spared torturous existences without necessary
replacement organs and limbs.

Einstein
Incorporated remains the top supplier of replacement organs which are both
extremely high quality as well as dirt cheap; with even a full heart
replacement costing merely a couple thousand credits. Among their other
supplies however are NanoGel, bandages and other typical medicines with whom
they compete with Singularity for in the market.

### Singularity Corp

Singularity was established just after the
Hierarchy war came to an end and the demand for adequate prosthetics
skyrocketed. In an effort to bring wounded soldiers back to either military
service or at least to improve their quality of life the Alliance launched the
Wounded Warrior Act and decreed that any soldier wounded in battle would be
afforded all prosthetics required to bring their quality of life back to that
of an uninjured person. They enlisted the help of several companies for this
endeavor but Singularity rose above the rest and established a galactic
presence as a leader of sales for cybernetic implants.

Originally founded and run as a sole
proprietorship by Madame Yolanda Copernic the organization quickly ballooned
and made cybernetics cheap enough for the average person to afford. Though
initially it was mere prosthetics that were manufactured the company began to
expand into new markets to provide cybernetic upgrades such as the High
Capacity Metabolic Amplifier which proved invaluable for species such as the
Anubians.

In the modern world Singularity provides
more than adequate medical supplies for the Alliance Navy and Marine Corps,
hospitals both domestic and abroad as well as providing most of the galactic
market’s supply of mundane medical items from bandages to NanoGel.

Madame Copernic eventually died of leukemia
six days after the implant used to eradicate it was released to the public.
After her death the company maintained its willingness to help anyone
regardless of financial need however the company also took a more sinister role
and began to extoll debts no matter the cost both through legal action as well
as through outright extortion in some of the less lawful areas of the galaxy.

## Political Organisations

### Blue House Maidens

The Blue House maids were founded in 3007
by a Havina female named Angela da Atenya. Angela was devoted to freeing her
captured Havina clan from the clutches of Balalonian slave camps and her
passion drove her to gather more like-minded people and rally them into a
single cohesive unit. Angela soon enlisted the help of Gabriel da Atenya, who
would begin training her and her "Maidens of Battle" and eventually
become her husband after many years of fighting on enemy soil.

The Blue House Maidens were given their
name because in Havina culture medics wear a blue band around their necks but
Angela took the symbol a step further and was the first Havina in history to
ever paint an entire building blue which was revered as a holy color. Many
years would pass before Angela and her Battle Maidens would be accepted into
normal society.

Immediately following the completion of
training the Blue House Maids set into motion a plan to bring back over seven
thousand captured Havina while using a force of only a few thousand. The battle
took place on a world known as Nukeam (pronounced "New Kam") at which
point the Blue Maids distinguished themselves in battle by engaging a superior
force from the Balalonian Hierarchy. The Balalonian force outnumbered the Blue
Maidens ten to one but thanks to the advanced training given by Gabriel, the
Maidens were able to use both guerilla warfare and insurgencies to infiltrate
and extract over three thousand of the slaves although the other four thousand
had been executed as 'payment' for the Havina's sins against the Hierarchy.

Today the Blue Maidens are a far more
accepted society founded on the ideals and beliefs of Angela da Atenya. The
Blue Maidens fight to free all slaves in the universe, not just the Havina, and
to see equal rights for all citizens across all nations. Similar to the human
'Underground Railroad', the Blue Maidens are no longer recognized by their
government since they now act in ways that would normally advocate war between
the Havina and the Balalonians.

### Allocator Inc.

Allocator Inc. was formed by George Man to provide legal extradition. He used an immense logical machine AI, the Allocator, to create mathematical formulas for political work. Using this AI, he produces four different levels of political cognition. Based on these levels, he advises governments on lawmaking and jurisprudence, placing importance or disservice on separate laws and judgments. Many governments employ the services of the Allocator, which has grown to a company with over 4000 employees all working for the Allocator machine.

### Maximus, Lawrence, Dawkins & Jerries

The biggest lawyer firm in the Alliance, MLD&J have provided legal assistance since 2456. The firm prides itself on its knowledge of criminal, constitutional, and property law, and have been instrumental in many disputes large and small, including the protection of civil rights, land clearances, and international peace. While the four founders of the firm are long dead, Descendant of both Maximus and Dawkins still hold position as senior partners. MLD&J has many locations across the galaxy, ranging from small legal houses to massive firm complexes with multiple skyscrapers. Their headquarters are based in Richmond, Virginia on Earth.

## Starship Manufacturing

### Virginia Shipyards

The shipyards of
Virginia had long been an instrumental force in the projection of the
Alliance’s military might. From here, billions upon billions of workers labor
away at fabrication of parts, programming computers, running diagnostics,
logistical analysis on an unprecedented scale and much more all the way up to
the actual assembly of starships.

When Virginia
finally rejoined the Alliance and joined the Senate, the shipyards were already
constructed and were a number of separate space stations at the time in a
geosynchronous orbit around the planet’s equator. While the planet’s government
had planned to construct a ring station it had been originally designed as a
military installation to guard against attack.

The design was
hastily changed once the Virginian Empire took a seat in the Senate and trade
began to flourish however. With the additional support of mining stations such
as Boston and Smali providing much needed mineral and metal resources to the
shipyards they almost immediately began to produce ships in the midst of the
Hierarchy war with dozens upon dozens of other stations requiring construction
in order to meet demand. It was because of this demand that these stations
eventually merged into what the shipyard is in the modern world.

In the more
recent years the shipyard produces most of the Alliance’s cruisers and command
vessels which are supplemented by many replacement parts purchased from the
Omega Corporation which has its own stand-alone stations orbiting Virginia’s
many moons.

### Wasp Aerospace Company

Known for its sleek design, WAC is known for the production of Starfighters, personal Freighters, and many other small ships. Founded on Earth, Wasp has long provided the Alliance civilian market with many promising ships that focus on aestethics and computational power rather than propulsion systems and long-range sensors. Wasp's primary shipyards are in orbit of Jupiter, however the company was founded on Mars in 2786 by Lucas Anders.

During the Titan War, Wasp expanded its industries to galactic heights and began producing many sleek designs specifically tailored to other species and cultures. The Havina especially employed the WAC to produce an endless supply of explorers, cruisers, and freighters to provide to the Coalition. During the Exodus, almost half of the Alliance and Havina ships were produced by WAC.

### Mekall Shipyards

The primary shipyards for the Hierarchy, Mekall has existed since at least the 14th Century, and was founded by a large amount of engineers and generals who consolidated earlier ship producer companies. Its design of deadly ships ranging from fighters to massive dreadnoughts is almost synonymous with the Hierarchy Armed Forces. It has many facilities throughout the Galaxy and inside Hierarchy Space. Its use of extensive tactical systems in the form of advanced shielding, deadly weapon arrays, and extensive tactical sensor suites marks the Hierarchy navy and has made its name as one of the biggest producers of war ships in the galaxy.

During the Hierarchy War, Mekall produced massive amounts of ships to pit against Humanity. Their massive battlecruisers and dreadnoughts were responsible for the orbital bombardment that nearly destroyed Earth. In the Titan War, Mekall provided to both the Hierarchy and the Church, a move that got it condemned after the war. Since then, Mekall has been under strict control of the Hierarchy military, providing ships to the navy.

## Weapon Manufacturing

### Kolt

Kolt is a weapons manufacturing company
that provides mostly small arms weapons and ammunitions to distributors around
the cosmos. They are perhaps most notably known for their involvement in the
making of Minotaur body armor systems and the Mk3 series rifles.

Founded during the decade just before the
Hierarchy Wars, Kolt quickly rose to prominence in the galactic market when the
war spiked the demand for weapons and ammunitions to an all-time high for
several decades. Many persons that did not find themselves working as a drafted
soldier were often times commanded by the government to work within the many
manufacturing facilities to assist Kolt with printing, shaping, forging or
otherwise manufacturing weapons and armor.

While Kolt has been a long standing company
for nearly three hundred years in the present day it began with just one man
working from his garage on the planet Mars. Michael H. Kolt desired to build a
weapon that would remain in service for over one hundred years much like John
Browning’s .50 caliber M2 machinegun which had remained in service for well
over two centuries. When the design was finished the war was already in full
swing and the weapon’s plans were nearly lost to time after a plasma
bombardment destroyed Mr. Kolt’s home and most of his possessions save for the
schematic which he had saved in a PDA and the prototype weapon which he had
carried out of the house himself.

For a long while, being nearly two years,
Mr. Kolt wandered the Martian wastelands looking for someone to help bring him
back to civilization. When he eventually found an abandoned factory that had
been shut down preemptively in order to prevent civilian casualties from the
bombing raids he began to organize local militia to turn back the tide of the
Hierarchy forces. While he was there his weapon was uploaded into the factory’s
list of schematics and the old factory began to churn out the relatively cheap
but extremely efficient rifles.

He was eventually found by other Alliance
Marines whom immediately commended the rifle and even began to purchase them
through their personal funds in order to replace the dreary rifles that they
had been issued. A decade later, Kolt’s rifle was manufactured en masse in
proper factories and he was given a contract with the government to produce
them in the numbers upwards of trillions while also getting a contract for a
prototype body armor that he had developed while he fought for his life in the
Martian plains.
