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.
