L&L Industries

"From rail lines to clothes, to electronics and robotics, the weapons of war, and even shelter from nuclear hellfire L&L has you covered!"

-Lilith Evergreen, founder, CEO, and president of L&L Industries

### **Overview**

L&L Industries is the Multinational Conglomerate responsible for the Model-T Androids, the National Vault Network, the National Railways, the L&L line of consumer electronics, the L&L line of Consumer and High Fashion, and many military munitions following their acquisition of the Aldorrian Arms Company.

### **History**

Following the declaration of Independence the newly formed Scarlettian Republic was a backwater, technologically inept, and industrially crippled. Lilith Evergreen looked at this and thought "Screw that I wanna build a fancy-ass choo choo train." L&L Rail Lines, the precursor to L&L industries was founded in 2403, employing locals to reuse salvaged rails, and hardware, as well as employing the last steel mill in Scarlettesia to produce new equipment. This culminated in the opening of 2 short lines from Scarlettesia city to surrounding population centers, improving connectivity and giving an early boost to reconstruction in the region.

Lilith had more plans, however, as she began Operation-T, using stolen blueprints of a new multipurpose android from the Wynter Regime. This eventually culminated in the first unit of Model-T Androids, the T-1 completed in mid-2403 and released at the end of the year. This marked the beginning of the 5th industrial revolution for Scarlettia, a staged previously reached by only earth countries, where in technology has advanced to the point of completely sidestepping human physical labor. The T-1 would see limited application however because of it's many design flaws. Ultimately the T-1 would be scrapped, but like with all innovation the first light bulb must burn out before you can light up the world.

That same year, as threats from the air loomed ever greater Lilith founded the National Vault Service (NVS), to act as a series of underground air raid shelters for short and long term use by citizens of the country. Initially formed from reclaimed subway stations in 2404, the system would eventually break ground itself in 2405 ultimately culminating in the National Vault Network, a series of over 100 vaults built to endure a nuclear strike on the country. These vaults were initially a financial failure in the public market but later found success with the government, being subsidized to become a National Utility.

Following the limited success of the T-1 Android, L&L quickly began working on a new version of the unit, the T-2 released in 2404, featuring increased mental capacity, and a synthetic muscle system allowing for much more refined movement. These units saw deployment in industrial settings, but also hospitals, and some service jobs. They also saw deployment in the military under Operation Aurora WR Division, being used in subterfuge and espionage missions.

In 2405 following the success of Operation Holy Grail, L&L purchased and consolidated multiple clothing factories to invest into primarily women's clothing to capitalize on the new market.

Later that year following almost a year of work and design the first T-3 units capable of full sapience finished production. These units were code-named "Copper", later changed to "Conner" to avoid initial suspicion, and "Diamond". Unit designation Diamond went rouge just days after activation, because of this incident L&L was forced to cancel production of the T-3 as they worked to fix the perceived error. The T-3 wouldn't see release until 2406.

In 2407 in conjunction with Rossinian Scientists, the T4 began development, using technology from the recently freed former American territory. These backroom dealings lead to multiple close international events, however all parties were able to avoid public conflict and after multiple concessions the T4 completed development by the end of 2408.

In 2408 L&L Industries bought out the Aldorrian Arms Company, beginning production of light munitions, and vehicles for the Scarlettian Army. Production would expand into personal munitions and naval munitions by 2409.
