# Corporations

Major commercial entities operating at civilizational scale in the Settled Reach. These are Syndic-tier organizations whose products are so fundamental to the Reach's infrastructure that they operate beyond the normal commercial register.

## Corporations

| Corporation | System | Product | Scale |
|------------|--------|---------|-------|
| [Gate Corporation](gate-corporation.md) | [Renaissance](../star-systems/GJ-251/index.md) (GJ 251) | Span gate infrastructure | Every inhabited system |
| [Mastroianni Vehicle Group](mastroianni-vehicle-group.md) | [Nova Roma](../star-systems/GJ-764/index.md) (GJ 764) | Transit vehicles, trains, haulers | Reach-wide fleet |
| [Prometheus Labs](prometheus-labs.md) | [Prometheus](../star-systems/GJ-702B/index.md) (GJ 702B) | Longevity hardware, implants | Every Perpetual |

## Key Relationships

- **Gate Corporation ← Veil Institute:** Institute reverse-engineered span gate tech from alien horizon stations, licensed it to the Gate Corporation. The founding commercial relationship of the Reach.
- **MVG ↔ Gate Corporation:** Gates constrain vehicle design; vehicles constrain gate specifications. Deeply interdependent.
- **MVG ↔ Cygni B combines:** Competitors on hull structures, collaborators on specifications. The line between "vehicle" and "ship" is where contracts get interesting.
- **Prometheus Labs → Assembly:** The founding Assembly members are still alive because of Prometheus Labs. Neither institution discusses this dependency.
- **Prometheus Labs → Veil Institute:** Institute researchers are Perpetual-class. Five centuries of continuous study is possible because of Prometheus Labs technology.
