Origin/Historical Facts: Its origin in the early days of the space colonies, the Zeonic Company is one of the oldest space colony organizations in existence, superceded only by Asano and Lieber Industries whose history dates back into the very late part of the AD calendar. The Zeonic Company gets most of its notoriety from what it developed and further put into productioon for military use-the MS-07B Gouf. Currently, this corporation has reformed and is now one of the three primary suppliers of Zeonic-type mobile weapons and armaments to many of today's organizations.

MIP Company
Nature of Business: Zeonic-type mobile weapon and armament manufacturing
Major Clients: Varied (among organizations that use Zeonic-type mobile suits)
Origin/Historical Facts: Much like its counterpart, the Zeonic Company, MIP's history runs back to the beginning of the space colonies and the old Zeonic Liberation Movement. It is the corporation responsible for the development and further production of the Zeonic mobile suit MS-09 Dom, and subsequent related models. Today, along with the Zeonic Company and the Zimmad Company, MIP is one of the three major suppliers of Zeonic-type mobile weapons to the Earth Sphere.

Earth Federal Weapon Manufacturing
Nature of Business: Fedi-type mobile weapon and armament manufacturing
Major Clients: Varied (among organizations that use Fedi-type mobile suits)
Origin/Historical Facts: Unlike its Zeon counterparts, Earth Federal Weapon Manufacturing does not have roots that descent back to the days of the One Year War. Instead, this company was founded near the middle of the L1 Trade War, and gained little notoriety for its premium mobile suit production work until early AC 231. It began as one conglomerate in charge of advanced Fedi-type mobile suit research and development, but was later split into two separate companies because of monopolization issues. Its latter half was named Federation Armaments Incorporated. Today, both FAI and EFWM are well-known suppliers of Federation-type mobile weapons.

Asano Industries
Nature of Business: Selenian-type mobile weapon and armament manufacturing, Einhänder research and development
Major Clients: Varied (among organizations that use Selenian-type mobile weapons)
Origin/Historical Facts: One of the oldest corporations still in existence, and alongside its counterparts within SODOM, Asano Industries has been most well known for both the Einhänder project and the success of the suicide sorties directed by SRF in AD 2245. After the final Einhänder pilot betrayed the suicide order against him and escaped Selenian suppression efforts, and the subsequent end of the war that followed, Asano Industries was shut down, only to be reopened many years later when the Einhänder project was resarted for Selenian defense purposes. Presently, Einhänder production has flourished, with many organizations desiring their own high-speed attack craft for military use.

Lieber Industries
Nature of Business: Special-use Selenian-type mobile weapon research and development
Major Clients: Classified
Origin/Historical Facts: Lieber Industries is as old as Asano, but is less known because of the precise nature of its business-advanced Einhänder research and development. None of its projects have been detailed to the public, except for leaks that link this company with the mysterious Selene fighter. It is considered Selene's shadow production corporation, and thus none of its clients are publicized.

Goltz & Moltke Corporation
Nature of Business: Imperial-type mobile weapon and armament manufacturing
Major Clients: SODOM
Origin/Historical Facts: As old as the Selenian Asano and Lieber Industries, but on the opposite side of the fence, the Goltz and Moltke Corporation is one of the few Imperial weapon production companies that were resurrected by SODOM when the Second Empire was formed. A couple of its most famous mobile weapons include the SPJ-15 "Greif" (Griffin) manhunter patrol unit that worked under the notorious Public Peace Police, and the SS-01 "Schwarzgeist" (Black Ghost) orbital platform. Quite possibly one of the more prominent Imperial companies, Goltz & Moltke has restructured its design bureau and has commenced a sort-of reformation of its mobile weapon program, in an effort to strengthen the might of the Imperial Army.

Schepke Corporation
Nature of Business: Imperial-type mobile weapon and armament manufacturing
Major Clients: SODOM
Origin/Historical Facts: Another well-known Imperial weapons production company, the Schepke Corporation's most notorious deed has been the production of the SPKB-06 Ausf A Gestell mobile suit, which caused much havoc during both the Second Moon War and the more recent L1 Trade War. Schepke was responsible for the resurgence of the Gestell under the Order of the Osiris' command, as well as the destruction that resulted when psychopathic pilot Brian Oshiro was given control of an older yet amazingly still advanced model. Recently, information has leaked out into public view that Schepke has redesigned and significantly strengthened the Gestell, effectively creating the next-generation version worthy of the name "Gestell II."

Diaz Corporation
Nature of Business: Imperial-type mobile weapon and armament manufacturing
Major Clients: SODOM
Origin/Historical Facts: The third Imperial weaponry company to be resurrected along with the Second Empire, the Diaz Corporation's most well-known accomplishment was the creation of the SKP-04 "Garnele" terrestrial fighting craft, a complete thorn in the side of the kamikaze Einhänder missions. Presently the story concerning weapon redesigning is the same as Schepke's; the Garnele has been strengthened significantly and effectively made tenfold more lethal. This fact, however, is not completely unbiased as the informational leak concerning this weapon originated from within SODOM, spread by a citizen proud of his organization's work.

Mohr Corporation
Nature of Business: Imperial-type mobile weapon and armament manufacturing
Major Clients: SODOM
Origin/Historical Facts: The fourth, and effectively final corporation resurrected via the Second Empire, Mohr was responsible for the SPKB-08 "Gecko" and the extremely lethal and widely infamous PR-01 "Gustav." Like Schepke, Mohr contributed to the NA rebel uprisings by supplying a modified Gustav model to still living pilot Brian Oshiro for the assault on MF headquarters Alameda. Today, Mohr has kicked production of both of these weapons up to help with SODOM's aspirations to acquire more land.

Anaheim Electronics
Nature of Business: Special-use mobile weapon research and development
Major Clients: Classified
Origin/Historical Facts: First appearing in 0083, Anaheim was notorious for supplying its high-grade mobile suits to both sides during the One Year War. Its main accolade-the creation of the GP Gundam series (GP01-05). Their success was widely revered, and as a result, the company became famous. The company itself is mainly situated on the moon, and additionally on the massive docking station La Vie En Rose. Today, Anaheim has come back from ruin and has continued to aid in further improving the quality of mobile suit design.

Cybernetix Incorporated
Nature of Business: Intercolony transport systems, computer programming and design work
Major Clients: Varied
Origin/Historical Facts: Cybernetix Incorporated is one of the foremost computer manufacturing and programming companies in the Earth sphere. One of its most famous achievements was the creation of the Cyprus Gateway and its eventual reinvention and reintroduction as not only a terrestrial transport system, but a high-speed transport system capable of dramatically shortening the time required to travel to such places as the Jovian moons and Mars. Cybernetix also operates several of the largest mass-drivers in the Earth Sphere, and is a major player in commercial transport.

Delos-Reyes Armament Systems
Nature of Business: NBC weapons production, conventional munitions
Major Clients: Varied
Origin/Historical Facts: Delos-Reyes is both a nuclear and non-nuclear munitions contractor that manufactures most types of conventional weapons. Although such weapons as NBC that cause widespread destruction are on this company's production list, it primarily sticks to conventional bombs and ammunition.

HALO Industries
Nature of Business: Special-use mobile weapon and armament system research and development
Major Clients: Nocturne Alliance (primarily; but other smaller clients vary)
Origin/Historical Facts: HALO Industries is a contract joint-service arms company that designs and manufactures high-end mobile weapons and technology. It has been a pioneer in the custom mobile weapons market, and has successfully formed a firm foundation in advanced mechanical research. HALO's notoriety has spawned from the Nazarene project and the implementation of the HALO System. The overall success of this endeavor was measured through the performance of the Angel Gundam prototype and subsequently the Archangel line of mobile suits. Some of HALO's most current projects include the new Nazarene custom models and the new HALO psychommu systems both in circulation and under development/revision. Although its primary buyer is the Nocturne Alliance, it also sells advanced armament systems to others as well.

MacMillan Armament Industries
Nature of Business: Conventional munitions research and development, mobile suit armament manufacturing
Major Clients: SODOM, Selene, Nocturne Alliance
Origin/Historical Facts: Its history going back before Asano and Lieber Industries and their Imperial counterparts, MacMillan Armament Industries is the oldest arms dealer and manufacturer still in existence. The company's staple was the MacMillan Gunpod series, used by both Imperial and Selenian forces during the Second Moon War. It is the party responsible for the Flash Cannon, one of the smallest and compact railgun weapons ever devised for use by mobile suits and Einhänder alike. Today, MacMillan is a major player in the conventional armaments market, and has a list of clients that spans backward multiple generations. Known for keeping a strict neutrality during the time of Earth Sphere conflict, MacMillan is much like Anaheim Electronics-it became notorious for selling weapons to both sides. Nonetheless, the superior construction of MacMillan's gunpods far exceeds other present industry alternatives.

Nova Nexus Robotics
Nature of Business: Cybernetic technology, nanorobotics
Origin/Historical Facts: Originally founded in early AC 225, Nova Nexus began as a small robotics firm which specialized in the manufacture of automated technology for industrial use as well as for use in mobile dolls. Because of the increased demand of automated response tech, Nova Nexus gained a foothold in a fast growing market that propelled it into a multibillion dollar corporation. Today, Nova Nexus focuses on new robotic "supersystems" that maximize production output tenfold, nanotechnology, and automated transport computer systems. The company is considered a top competitor in the robotics industry, and a foremost expert source on the future of nanorobotics and practical cybernetic applications.

United Colony Information Systems
Nature of Business: News reporting, law enforcement, intercolony commerce,
Origin/Historical Facts: Founded in AC 227, UCIS began as only an intercolony database company with the sole purpose to store every bit of available information within its highly adaptable computer network. Following the close of the L1 Trade War, and in an effort to promote the general welfare and social stability as well as to put an end to the crisis of misinformation, UCIS became the leading intercolony liasion for everything from commerce and law enforcement to news reporting and transport info. It effectively became an agency with the ability to provide almost any service to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Because of its expanded sphere of influence, UCIS was taken away from non-profit status, and was officially organized into a corporation in early AC 231.
