A.T.L.A.S. Corporation

**Astronomical Trade League and Armored Security Corporation** (A.T.L.A.S. Corp for short) is an interstellar shipping and trade conglomerate that has existed for an unknown amount of time in the 5th Dimension, and operate in the wild space outside the LANIAKEA supercluster. Starting at an unknown time and it is apparent that it rose to prosperity outside the supercluster, due to this it is unknown how much power A.T.L.A.S. really has; it is the reason why it is able to operate, as well as through legal loopholes exploited by corrupt officials of the 5th Army of OverWatch.

A.T.L.A.S. Corporation primarily provides shipping and trade services, but it also provides armored security by contracting mercenaries. Contracted mercenaries are often tasked to protect A.T.L.A.S. cargo and compounds. The 5th Army is said to be the company's number one source of income, yet it also secretly engages in trades with the Resistance Initiative. It is unknwon if the corporation is of caguran origins, as it is unknown how long Levi Saros was in power or if he even is the founder of A.T.L.A.S. Corp.

## History

### Pre-Phase 1

At an unknown time, A.T.L.A.S. Corp was established after several smaller interstellar companies merged with eachother. Much of their history is very obscure for operating outside the supercluster, but the corporate empire rose into prosperity - it's been speculated (mostly by Finn Hoppkins) that A.T.L.A.S. has operated as far back during the reign of the Confederacy of 5 Dimensions. A rogue caguran by the name of Levi Saros is made chief executive officer of the corporation, unknown whether he founded the company or was elected into the position. At a later point - or possibly at the same time - Levi's brother, Marcus, became chief operating officer of the company.

Levi started contracting with the 5th Army sometime after it was fragmented from the Empire of OverWatch, shipping resources that benfitis the military and government. At one point Levi stated that he and his company were responsible for constructing the Dyson Spheres that OverWatch has and allegedly provides the 5th Army with rare Ironium(909ε) and other alloys to construct the OverWatch cruisers.

A.T.L.A.S. Corp had gotten into a short conflict with the Izumi Clan at some point, although the details are obscured its results left a strong and hateful relationship between Levi and the Izumis. It is said that the corporation's influence in the 5th Army caused the genocide of cagurans and the extermination of a majority of Izumi Clan members. Kenya was revealed to be the root problem of the conflict, according to Marcus, to which Kenya was oblivious about until Takashi's death.

Finn Hoppkins, who had previously unknown ties with the Izumi Clan, worked for A.T.L.A.S. Corp and defected after realizing how corrupt the corporation was and fled to the LANIAKEA supercluster. Becaues Finn held important information regarding their operations, the company sent a powerful caguran cyborg to track him down for the next 10 years.

### Phase 1

A.T.L.A.S. Corporation was briefly seen cutting a deal with a pair of naval command operatives in order to revitalize Kenya during operation: KU-TAKEDOWN, Levi was delivering a serum in person.

### Phase 2

A.T.L.A.S. Corp was caught in-between a battle with the Resistance Initiative and the 5th Army during the latter's raid on the former's compound that were illegally growing ender crystals. The company was represented by Levi, who was on sight for confedential reasons, but it was shortly revealed by major general Rei, after explaining who A.T.L.A.S. Corp were, that Levi and co were there to deliver the Resistance mercenaries to protect the compound. Threatening to arrest them, the Internal Affairs Bureau intervened and claimed they'd be dealing with A.T.L.A.S. Corp, when in actuality the IAB's parent organization, the Internal Service Core, was to cut a deal with them and rebuild the compound.

At the Resistance's base, a rogue Elder ender crystal went out of control and terrorized the Resistance. A.T.L.A.S.'s CEO, Levi, was in the area to help stabilize it. Takashi did not welcome their presence, and tensions were high. Levi made sure to make the hateful relationship as one sided as possible to keep deals with the Resistance. In exchange, Levi reveals that A.T.L.A.S. Corp has been secretly contracted to assist construction on project PK, and revealed the exact location of the project's test site in the Cassius Region.

### Phase 3

A.T.L.A.S. Mercenaries, under the command of Marcus, were contracted by the Resistance to protect an Era 1 OverWatch compound while they were shipping illegal cybernetics. In the aftermath, relations bittered between the 5th Army and A.T.L.A.S., but it was resolved by Levi after offering their services for the upcoming conflict, operation: DAY-BREAK.

In the aftermath of the operation, A.T.L.A.S. chief security officer, Tara Emmet, oversaw the protection of important cargo being delivered under the request of marshal Crest. These cargo revealed to be the remains of administrator X as part of Crest's mysterious project and shadow entity, the Singularity. Later on Crest hired some mercenaries to assist his EXODUS squad in the unauthorized mission on capturing Ichor Seraphim.

While war is being prepared, Levi held a board meeting with all C-Level executives of the company, discussing how much they could profit from the war. Levi and Marcus revealed however that they won't be siding with anyone, but to instead lay low as they've received a contract with a high sum. This contractor is later revealed to be overseer Crest.

### Phase 4

During the second civil war, the corporation had stop aiding the Resistance and had "gone dark" according to Ace. In reality, they had been secretly contracted to help OverWatch for a high sum, more specifically for Crest. The chief financial officer of A.T.L.A.S., Conran Ledts, was privately sent to rediscuss a deal with Crest at some point before operation: ASSAULT-SAVANNAH, revealing that Levi had been "offworld" for an unknown reason.

Commodore Xiang had hired an A.T.L.A.S. mercenary named Buck to infiltrate outpost SIGMA to release subject OMEGA-Q with the motive of causing hell and giving Naofa Niro a reason to defect.

In the aftermath of operation: FAE-SUBMISSION, Levi had returned to the supercluster, he had personally arranged a meeting with Pilgrim and Xiang about his whereabouts. Levi had been offworld to track down a mysterious rock and stated that he had been "tying up loose ends" since the defection of Kenya, revealing that he had killed Takashi's son, Kadyn Izumi, and several other relatives, with the help of the same cyborg that had been hunting down Finn Hoppkins. This rock later went into play when Levi led a group of mercenaries to surround a beaten group of Resistance members consisting of Jinji, Sam, Raj and Takashi. Levi tied up the final loose end, being Takashi himself. Takashi was worn out from fighting the caguran cyborg they had sent to finish up the job, and thus Levi easily finished off Takashi, supposedly fully exterminating the Izumi Clan once and for all.

After tailing the Resistance to Daetahs, Crest led his EXODUS squad and a team of A.T.L.A.S. mercenaries to eliminate the Resistance and capture Void Seraphim.

### Phase 5

Crest summoned Levi to an audience regarding the death of Takashi at Homebase, District 3. Levi reveals that the Izumi Clan had worked with A.T.L.A.S. previously to genetically engineer a space parasit that would provide the Council with victory against the Empire of OverWatch during the First Civil War. Though the war concluded before they could complete the parasite, so it was shelved for over two hundred years. Levi explained that Takashi returned to the 5th Dimension, and upon discovering the 5th Army, he wanted to resume the parasite project, and it was said that Takashi provided Levi with Kenya, the last Caguran birthed from the Izumi Clan. The parasite reacted greatly with Kenya, Levi saw the opportunity and potential from Kenya's prowess, and that lending it to the Izumi Clan wouldn't be profitable to the welfare of the company. Levi revealed that he had stolen Kenya from the Izumi Clan, which resulted in the conflict between A.T.L.A.S. and the clan. The corporation ended up selling Kenya to OverWatch while he was still young and thus he was raised to become a super soldier. But after his defection, Takashi and the rest of the Izumis became loose ends before Kenya could learn any more about his past; they became an information hazard to Kenya that upon learning about his past, he would use his powers to overthrow and destroy A.T.L.A.S. Corporation. After learning about this, Crest hires A.T.L.A.S. to fully collaborate with, and apart of the Singularity project.

## Organization

A wealthy corporate organization, A.T.L.A.S. is led by the chief executive officer and a board of all C-suite executives. It maintains its operations and deals with the 5th Army as it operates outside of OverWatch space, thus through a legal loophole, deals could be done with the corporation legally. It controls the 5th Army's source or Ironium(909ε), and tries to create a monopoly at every resource they come across. The corporation has no security wing, and instead contracts several mercenaries to protect their shipping. The transport ship the company uses are customized corvettes for transport and a freelance design battleships for protection.
