| Armistice Inc. Weapons manufacturer. Specializes in small arms of both civillian and military nature as well as combat rifles and other infantry weapons. |
It is common knowledge that whenever someone, somewhere ends up with an orifice in his body that is not supposed to be there, you can be fairly sure that Armistice Inc. has to do with it somehow. They are the single largest producer of the kind of party games you play exclusively with people you're not entirely keen on, if you know what I mean. Competing weapons manufacturers often poke fun at Armistice Inc.'s primary focus on what they like to mockingly call pea shooters, but as a company executive once put it: "As long as we shoot peas better than you fire rounds you can all just go shut the fuck up." |
| Uncle Bingo's Pear Valley Homegrown Fruits est. 2023 Farming conglomerate. Specializes in mainstream fruits and crops. |
The Kingdoms greatest farming company maintains the friendly image of a family business despite having been founded in 2157 and the fact that never in the history of mankind has there been an actual place called Pear Valley. There is an ancient saying that states that "A farmer won't eat what a farmer don't know" but the more recent version of the same saying goes "You won't eat what Uncle Bingo won't grow". Advertising repeatedly states that not a single vegetable leaves the company without being carefully and lovingly handled by Uncle Bingo himself. It is up to the consumer to decide if this is a reassuring claim. |
| Erosion & Sons Venture Mining Company. Specializes in mining large quantities of common materials. |
Often called the biggest blight to ever be inflicted upon the universe by raving environmentalists, Erosion & Sons has only one calling. They don't care if they need to drive a gigantic power drill through an orphanage for highly gifted children of war heros so long as it will let them get to the precious shiny stuff. This kind of cavalier disregard for nature as well as general decency is not popular in today's mainstream society, but you can't very well argue with them when pretty much everything in the Kingdom that contains any kind of mineral is likely made mostly out of the remains of some unfortunate planet that has been thoroughly ravished by Erosion & Sons. |
| Karlian Spacefleet Military Organization. Specializes in large battleships and freighters. |
The Karlian Spacefleet subscribes to the view that the pen is mightier than the sword, but a great big giant mallet is mightier than both of those things put together. Most of their spaceship designs start out with some extremely bright lad designing the largest possible battleship that makes engineering sense. His work is then handed on to a team of extremely well paid experts who cut a lot of corners in order to make it a whole lot bigger. This is why the Karlian Kingdom has uncountable cruisers of awe inspiring magnificence and splendour and proportions that if not break at least seem to bend the laws of physics horrendously while having next to no vessels that can get anywhere within any kind of reasonable time frame. When asked about this by a reporter once, the great space Admiral Janotosh Melivian merely stated: "Bah who cares about those kinds of chickenshits." |
| Chapek Foundation Research institute. Specializes in Computer Sciences and Robotics. |
Named after a fictional character from a very old science fiction novel, this institute is at the cutting edge of robotic sciences. Their robots are so good, that they are in fact doing most of the research work themselves these days. Little is known about what human researches do at work or in their free time, which they seem to have a lot of, but anyone interested in the universal sports leagues will tell you that a lot of them seem to be avid golfers. |
| SUN Corp Manufacturer of consumer goods. Specializes in gadgets nobody in their right mind would want but people buy them anyway. |
It is often rumored that SUN stands for Shit U Need, which would be a good description of what SUN Corp stands for. Still, it is probably not true. What cannot be denied is that the company has a very unique approach to business seeing as how 95% of its employees are in marketing and advertising. The rest is janitorial staff. The products are designed by temps, via consumer participation contests or by random fools who happen to wander into the corporate headquarters and decide to jot down some ideas on notepads. The company's huge revenue is often succesfully used by atheists to prove the nonexistance of god and has driven every business consultant who tried to find out how exactly SUN Corp even stays in business to suicide. |
| MoMoTrade Trade Agent. Specializes in the distribution of mass marketable products. |
very time you buy breakfast at a motel in some remote part of the universe, you will find that the butter tastes just like it does everywhere else. Making sure everything is the same everywhere has been MoMoTrade's stock and trade ever since their CEO found a book about economy of scale in a brothel's lavatory and just ran with it. If you have something someone else wants, you can be sure they will go through great lenghts first get to you and then get whatever it is you've got to whoever feels he needs it and generally everyone else as well. They usually don't do any kind of small business deals, but if there's money to be made by making life just slightly more bland on the whole, MoMoTrade will always be interested. |
| Tworthy Publishing Ltd Publishing house. Specializes in smut. |
There is no good reason why a publishing house should be able to sell colonization licenses, but that doesn't seem to be stoppong Tworthy Publishing Ltd from doing it. They also sell a wide array of products that explore subjects such as tits, slightly bigger tits and really big tits. Furthermore, they have a number of smaller publications that focus on specific interest groups, such as people with an unnatural attraction towards lopsided tits. All of this is irrevelant, as the publishing house is just a front for the Cosa Nostradamicus, a highly organized criminal group based on the belief that Satan will be around sometime soon and what time remains had best be used for plundering. |
