They are infamous for their hostile business practices and their active pursuit of patents through less then conventional, if not illegal, means. They have a vast pool of resources and have produced several highly innovative products. The board of directors consists of the CEO's of five different corporations and is headed by Yrnt Ulrsb, a defected Sulikan military research responsible for their signature weapons series.

Talirath International War Council Weapons Development
Founding Date: AD 5210
Collapse Date: AD 6080
Director: High Admiral Rich Tekmoto
In the ever persistent race for arms supremacy that evolved during the last space age Cold War against the then Earth Alliance opposing coalition named SAHD, or Systems Against Human Dominance, the Talirath International War Council of Weapons Development was formed as a special sub-division of the Talirath intergalactic police force. This GLEF (Galactic Law Enforcement Federation) sanctioned division was responsible for many of the modern weapons of war currently in use by the development of propulsion technologies that move them. However they also have a signature weapons series of missiles. The division was dissolved in 6080 when GLEF stripped it of it's weapon's research grants. They still produce weapons but can no longer develop them.

Galt Foundation
Founding Date: 5420
Collapse Date: 5662
CEO: Ymir Vlekovich
The Galt Foundation was one of the few corporations built by the United Russian Planets Coalition. A subgroup of the Earth Alliance their products were known for their durability and destructive capabilities. However as the universe moved toward a more centralized economic system the URPC began to fall apart and with it many of its interests. Galt was the last to fall owing to its high number of customers however production issues and weapons recalls hammer the final nail into their coffin after their funding dried up. They were responsible for one of the most heavily used missile weapon for the next three generations, the Warhawk.
Patents
Warhark Missile series
Pelten Faction
Founding Date: AD 5900
CEO: Gnlin Retnu
The Pelten Faction was born out of the need for more competitors to the major weapons factories. It was a small upstart company originally operated by only ten individuals. However after they attained some fame Gnlin seized an opportunity and bought up the patents to the Warhawk missile weapon series left abandoned after the Galt Foundation collapsed. With these patents the Pelten Foundation found themselves awash in xarn as their redesigns of the weapon became very popular. The foundation is now comprised of fifty thousand factories on a thousand worlds and is considered one of the largest weapons manufacturers around.

Shuho Corporation
Founding Date: AD 4850
CEO: Tetsuno Shuho
The Shuho corporation is one of the oldest still in existence since the great market collapse of 4920 when weapon material production was cut off entirely when the now extinct Klog dynasty embargoed all shipments through their empire. Many companies folded during that time due to lack of income but the Shuho corp. has various other methods of funding and does not rely directly on weapons income for its continued survival. The corporation is run as a family enterprise passed down from father or mother to son or daughter. They take a great pride in the quality of their work and have profited greatly from it with military contracts with many empires. They product many different weapons and even some ships due to these numerous contracts. Their personal family wealth is estimated to be greater then ten trillion xarn and their company is worth several times that.

Tesla Incorporated
Founding Date: AD 3015
Collapse Date: AD 4980
CEO: Nicoli Tesla the XXII
Tesla Incorporated were the visionaries of the 31st century and led the field in many discoveries that pushed the boundaries of science to their limits during that time. In their early years they were responsible for inventing new ways of folding warp space to allow for greater speeds to be reached, that discovery alone propelled them to be compared to such heights as Archimedes and Leonardo Da Vinci in the ancient Earth era. However as technology became increasingly complex Tesla failed to keep up pace with the discoveries made by other competing institutions and after many set backs trying to create a device capable of instantaneous travel from one point to another lost their grants and tenure and collapsed into history and were bought out by The Angel Foundation. They had several weapons series under construction and were responsible for the Planet Cracker, one of the most devastating bombs created in the late 50th century.

Angelus Missile series
The Angel Foundation
Founding Date: Unknown, first public reference in 4980
CEO: Gerald
Not much is known about the Angel Foundation. They are a secretive group that pays bribes to various Intergalactic agencies for immunity from standard operating practices such as submitting income documents and other disclosures of information. This had lead many conspiracies that they conduct highly illegal research or are a secret branch of GLET that conducts unethical experiments. Besides the rumors almost nothing is known about this corporation other then that they bought out Tesla Incorporated in 4980. Much of the staff from Tesla was migrated into the Angel foundation when the buy out occurred but not one of them has ever spoken out about what they do there. The CEO is known to the public only as Gerald, if this is in fact his real name is unknown and he has never been seen adding to the cloak and dagger conspiracy theories that swarm around this organization.

Angelus Missile series
Sulikan Military Complex
Founding Date: Unknown
Director: Fisk Yutran
It is unknown when the Sulikan empire was founded so an exact date of when their military was created is unattainable however it is clear from their actions that they have always been a warring species. The Sulikan favor complete brutality over anything in their weapons designs and their signature weapon of choice displays that in droves. The Spine missile series are some of the most vicious weapons ever design and are made to rip a ship to shreds with minimal effort. They have become a mainstay with many outlaw and pirate groups who favor quick kill and snatch operations as these missiles can penetrate all but the thickest armor plating.

Spine Missile series
InterGal LLC
Founding Date: AD 5980
Collapse Date: 6095
CEO: Lyman Getyn
InterGal LLC was the manufacture of one product, however it was very popular. The Dredlock missile series was home to some of the most acclaimed weapons of the 61st century. They produced the weapon up until 6095 with the advent of their Titan class weapon. This was because of a lawsuit filed against them by the Muso Galexicon. Muso claimed that it was the rightful possessor of the patent for the Dredlock series and won their case against InterGal. InterGal went bankrupt later that year and was bought out by MG. Purponants of Mg claim, to this day, that Muso hacked into the Galactic Intercommerce Department's Patent Archiving System and changed the title of the patents to Galexicon from InterGal. No evidence of this alleged hack was ever found leading many to claim that Muso bribed officials to look the other way.
