File 06 Factions

The corporations

Eight companies own a majority stake of the timeline. Each is a titan of a different sector of industry: weapons, logistics, surveillance, food & beverage, technology, medicine, energy, and finance. They operate across the eras with little to no oversight, consuming resources and dominating the once-unique cultures of Earth with their branding. Often more powerful than nations and more influential than regional identities, these corporations serve as our factions.

The brief

Each is a titan of a different sector of industry: weapons, logistics, surveillance, food & beverage, technology, medicine, energy, and finance. They operate across the eras with little to no oversight, consuming resources and dominating the once-unique cultures of Earth with their branding. Often more powerful than nations and more influential than regional identities, these corporations serve as our factions.

01

Apex Ordnance Systems

Weapons Manufacturing

“Innovation That Makes an Impact”

The defense contractor that arms every side of every war, then bills them all for the privilege. If a conflict is worth having, Apex has already standardized the weapons for it.

BlackVault Capital

Finance & Investments

“We Don’t Predict Markets. We Create Them.”

The invisible hand behind every major corporate maneuver. BlackVault built the tower where all eight corporations keep their offices. It is the head of the snake.

03

Deltapath Distribution

Shipping & Logistics

“We Deliver. Time Cooperates.”

If something moved through time, Deltapath touched it. The logistics network that turned isolated corporate experiments into an economy, the bloodstream every other corporation quietly runs on.

Foresight Defense Co.

Armor & Equipment

“Observe. Outthink. Prevent. Secure.”

They find you before you arrive. Foresight sells the one thing no other corporation can: the end of surprise. The more history you are about to make, the easier you are to catch.

05

Liminal Sciences

Technology & Robotics

“Reality Is Flexible. Trust Us.”

The company that made the impossible routine. Liminal did not just master robotics. It stabilized time travel itself, turning the Era Stack from a physics problem into a marketplace.

Paradox Biomedica

Biomedical

“Because Nature Is a Prototype.”

Miracle medicine and the origin of monsters. Paradox treats every living thing, flesh or machine, as a first draft to be improved.

07

Stratiform Industries

Energy & Extraction

“Hope: Our Most Sustainable Extraction.”

Builds the future while hollowing out the past. Stratiform simply removes the ground a civilization stands on, and sells it back as progress.

Tauroboros

Food & Beverage

“Taste the Infinite”

A comfort brand with an impossible supply chain. Bright cans, a friendly cow, and 1950s Americana wrapped around the darkest engine in the world.
