Trauma Station Lore

Below are the links to any relevant lore pages:

Lore Pages	Summary
The Tiger Cooperative	A galaxy-wide religious order that preaches the benefits of natural life, and has grown from its modest grassroots origins to become a towering behemoth in the corpo-political galaxy by selling its faith to its believers. Behind its facade of religion, the Tiger Cooperative itself has been taken over by a previously unknown Xenofauna. It's become nothing more than another face for the Changeling.
Gorlex Entertainment	As the galaxy's premier multi-media empire, a founding member of the Syndicate, and a former subsidiary of Nanotrasen, Gorlex Entertainment really has had it all. They emerged from humble space piracy roots, becoming a giant in private defense on Mars, before being forcibly acquired by Nanotrasen in the aftermath of the Martian Revolutions, and under the guidance of their corporate overlords, grew into a giant in the film industry, but their hatred never went away. They would later force their way out of their former contract with Nanotrasen, and after going independent, they started to realize that ratings went higher the more violence and pain they caused. This would eventually lead to their premier team, the Nuclear Operatives, and their goal to destroy Nanotrasen stations in a purgatory of nuclear fire... live on the galactic net.
Terra Union	Successors to the Europeans who fled in fear of nuclear annihilation, hailing themselves as the beacon of democracy in the otherwise bleak human space. Yet the Terran Union holds no territory on Earth or her corroding colonies, laying light-years away in Tau Ceti and Alpha Centauri as its "core" systems. No fringe colony of the Union enjoys such democracy; instead, it endures the harsh treatment of the Union's Colonial Administrations. This corrosion of democracy has even reached the core worlds, as Cargal's recent succession has prompted the suspension of the Terran Council.
Oob'Mola'Ieran Hivemind	Former governing body of the slime people, destroyed in a war with UCSH, now merely a common name for the several splinter factions of slimes scattered across the galaxy. A single, united mind, advanced enough to venture into space, yet too naive to survive this harsh and cruel galaxy. First civilization to find deposits of phoron and develop artificial gravity.
UCSH	Among the most powerful TerraGovs, the USCH is a "state" ruled by a board of squabbling corporations that fled to the global south and ending up right in the hands of Nanotrasen. Feared for its ruthless authority, which employs brutal oppression by state mercenaries, as well as the use of Artificial Intelligence for total omnipresence. It has remained as stable as any hyper-corporate government can be, and more powerful than any hegemon outside the fringes of USCH space. To many, inside or out, its dominance proves it is the rightful ruler of the Sol System.
Contiguity Initiative	A disorganised group of hackers, terrorists, and other criminals. One of the only factions to still delve into the Noosphere. Not much is known about them, in part due to the fact that they keep gaining unaothorized access to this database. Responsible for the initial creation of telecrystals, GR3YT1D3 virus, and may be the reason why Nanotrasen stations have 3 powergrid checks per shift.
World Prosperity Spheres	Gripped by the devastation of WWIV, much of the east regressed back when the waters finally simmered. Japan, revitalized by the Kokkashugi system, enveloped surrounding Australia, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia under the World Prosperity sphere. As one of the few TerraGovs remaining, it set to work rebuilding what little it could extract to keep up with its competition. This gave zaibatsu dominance across all sectors of industry, rendering the state just another corporate despot. It waits in Isolation now, utilizing more subtle operatives to push it's goals
Nanotrasen	Formed in the Late 20th century, Nanotrasen is one of the oldest hyper-corporations still functioning. It's age has brought it great wisdom, slowly building itself from a fledgling African mining company to the hallmark of technology. The Company was a titan in the energy and material industry; which allowed it to wield immense influence in the tumultuous 22nd Century. When the arms race ended in near annihilation of the entire planet of earth, Nanotrasen was able to divert and safeguard its territories in the south. The Global South became one of the few habitable places left, and those that settled there swore fealty to Nanotrasen. The surviving organizations that bent would go on to form the USCH, cementing Nanotrasen's power as the strongest corporation in human history. \n Generations later, Nanotrasen has kept this title. It reigns over much of the known galaxy, with many employees from all sorts of backgrounds, human or otherwise. The average citizen can't keep Nanotrasen out of their lives; its products dominate every market imaginable. Its paramilitary forces vaporize all pirates, insurgents, and anti-corporate forces that step foot within it's territory. Its expansion and conquest have made it a nation of its own, holding separate colonies from the USCH. Nanotrasen has its own corporate law, charter, and citizenship. Nanotrasen represents the peak of corporate authority, and there is no single entity that could stop them.
