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 | Renaissance (GJ 725A) | Span gate infrastructure | Every inhabited system |
| Mastroianni Vehicle Group | Nova Roma (GJ 764) | Transit vehicles, trains, haulers | Reach-wide fleet |
| Prometheus Labs | Prometheus (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.
