The Company: Laniakea Corp

The affiliate worker program was first developed by *United Industries*, a former subsidiary of the *Laniakea* conglomerate which was later absorbed by The Company. A serious contender in the race for industrial hegemony in *Atlas*, Laniakea was the first to complete a space station there. At that point, The Company adopted a hybrid strategy of espionage, legislative pressure, sabotage and hostile takeovers, allowing it to absorb its competitor and erase every trace of its existence.
