Wolf-Rayet Corporation

This corporation began it's life manufacturing goods to support the new colony on Shanam 4. They were responsible for making all needed goods from the new colony to be able to survive. However, as time went on and the advantage of the systems rather unique metadimensional energies allowed the corporation to develop itself into a Mandate defense contractor. Eventually working on special needs projects for the Mandate and the Psychic Authority. 

The corporation made itself very important by being willing to test technologies too dangerous to risk Earth to test and manufacture. They even had psychics and psi-factories commonly only permitted on Earth. The corporation consumed the colony it once supported to the point where every educated able bodies person in the colony was also an employee of the corporation. This meant that the colony had become dependent on Jump Gate delivered food and supplies, save the materials and technology developed on world.

After The Scream the planet's psychics did not survive. This left the planet in a very bad way. Employees did whatever they could to survive, some retreated to the orbital station where they thought they would be able to survive with the Greater Grail that was build there. However on the whole world that was one of another score of Greater Grails that existed there. Others took star ships and found that the most ships were not equipped with spike drives. Those in manufacturing attempted to make spike drives and spike drive ships, however the build process would take a year or more. The robots were more skilled in manufacturing than in farming and the small percentage of robots re-purposed quickly fell into disrepair. By the time the spike drive ship had been completed, many had succumbed to famine.

Most of the people that remained poured themselves into this ship and headed into the metadimensional space to escape this world, never to be heard from again. Those that chose to remain were the fore bearers to the very small TL3 colony. Any who venture onto the corporate campus find themselves besieged by security droids due to their lack of clearance.

The corporation's manufacturing had only been paused as resources needed to be created by the psi-factory are no longer being produced. However, the system automated mining effort has only been slowed as maintenance needs have caused the failure of robots and ships, but is still in operation today.
