TME Industries Designs

Technology-Manufacturing-Energy Industries is the largest unified economic interest in the Zone. Too large for the time-tested "megacorporation" moniker to fit, TME Industries works in much the same way as the federal Zone does, acquiring smaller corporate interests and simply weaving them into the whole--the concept of course being that local corporations are better suited to respond to the needs of the markets they exist in and are thus more profitable than TME Central trying to run everything from the very top.

TME Central is still a very real money-making venture, however, centering around a simplicity in design philosophy: all cultures need items that fulfill functions, and so there is theoretically always a market for products which hold no pretense of doing any more than they are intended to: toasters that make toast, firearms that shoot, vehicles that move people from one place to another. Given Central's... dedication to making things that approach the Platonic Ideal of what they do, TME Industries is a standard go-to organization for the Zone government for goods, military and otherwise. It is through the TME/Zone "special partnership" that TME Industries is allowed to act as the primary front organization for the Zone's explorations in pandimensional travel.

War is good for business, though, and so whenever Triumvirate explorers come across particularly belligerent S/TSs they refer them back to TME Industries... which is where this comes in.
