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.

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.
- Groombridge Settlement House ↔ Compact Financial Exchange: The two clearing institutions that handle inter-currency settlement. Neither controls the other. Both depend on the other recognizing their instruments.
- Groombridge Settlement House → The Registry: Co-located at Groombridge/Lendel. The Registry's commercial intelligence feeds the due-diligence layer that GSH's correspondent relationships depend on.
- Kallast Agrosyndic → Kovalev Freight Lines: Ran's grain and produce requires cold chain to reach the inner corridor. The Agrosyndic's export contracts specify KFL's cold chain standard.
- Baektu Mining Alliance → Umoja Freight: Baektu produces the ore; Umoja moves it. Three-generation commercial relationship between adjacent south_reach founding-wave communities.
- CFX ↔ Westmark Distribution ↔ Westphalia Heavy Works: The three Ostmark-based Compact institutions — financial infrastructure, freight logistics, and heavy equipment — are the commercial backbone of Compact economic independence.
- Somatic Futures → Prometheus Labs: Clinical re-embodiment depends on Prometheus Labs hardware. Somatic Futures is the licensed clinical operator; Prometheus is the technology licensor.
- Société Chimique du Vide → Matahari Consumer Goods: SCV supplies industrial chemical inputs for Matahari's cleaning products and personal care manufacturing. Co-located at Confluência/Confluent corridor.
- Cygni Combines → Hanyang Precision: Electronics substrate supply relationship — Cygni manufactures components that Hanyang integrates into precision navigation instruments.
