[center][h1][color=DarkTurquoise][u][b]Tullheart Prosthetics and Technology-TPT Corp[/b][/u][/color][/h1][/center] [h3][color=DarkTurquoise][center][b]Faction Type: Large Corporate Entity[/b][/center][/color][/h3] Tullheart Prosthetics and Technology had an humble beginning in the early days of Mars. Work accidents, vacuum exposure, and several disabilities caused by mild cerebral hypoxia led to high demands in Medical and prosthetic technologies. The costs for such treatments were just above the pay-grade of most Mars colonists. David Tullheart founder, was an Researcher/inventor who striked out on his own, after his crude, simple, yet effective designs were deemed to "inhuman" to be marketed properly to the populace. He took out a large loan, after receiving an contract from an Elysium hospice for wounded colonists. The alternative, low cost, and durable nature of the prosthetics was well admired by customers, and orders sky rocketed. Thus TPT was born from an great profit margin in the first 8 years of entrepreneurship. In most recent years TPT has dived into the AI, and Robotics markets with great success.

Over the years TPT has been creating a web of influence rather than using raw power as an bargaining chip. They have a weaker standing "military" than other factions since their focus has never had to be outright war with other factions. However in recent years Security has been beefed up majorly so. To the point of it being practically a small army. Several incidents have led to the deaths of some Management and almost the entire Tullheart family(The CEO's, founders, and proprietors). The current goals of TPT is diplomacy, stability, and expansion.[/hider] [h2][color=DarkTurquoise][u][b]Military[/b][/u][/color][/h2] [hider]Primary [hider] Security Officer- Equipped with a nonlethal hypodermic needle pistol/rifle. Basic ballistic armor, and an Squad communications head set. These men and women aren't meant for lethal wars and advanced squad tactics. They "hold down" the fort per say until the heavy guns arrive.

These men and women are trained in urban guerrilla tactics and primarily equipped with 50.cal Anti-material rifles, plus small self defense arms. They also are equipped with exo-suit gui's which help them with long range kinetic trajectory calculations as well as identification. However these soldiers are lightly armored and mobile, not meant for close-combat or conventional engagements. Marksmen are usually found in groups of two.

Capable of holding an APC, and 50 passengers, whilst being able to travel any destination on Mars. It's fuel efficiency and speed come from high altitude cruising, wherein the atmosphere and gravity effect the aircraft less.

Its defenses compromise of a steel encasing, and a few meters of boron carbide layers. It holds an active protection system against both lasers and projectiles. Smoke dispensers dissipate laser energy, while strategically placed ERA blocks fire interceptors at incoming projectiles.

Capable of holding several different weapon mounts Diamond dogs are dangerous, and versatile. -Special operations unit A recent installment to security SOU is compromised of the elite.

For contracted use of the Space elevator at Archangel, and the setup of an multipurpose Foundry nearby. Research Space Station near a debris field Deimos Orbit, owned by Sky Guard, and contracted to use by TPT. Used for the research of multipurpose AI Navigational systems, and Drone stress testing(Includes combat drones owned by SkyGuard). A recent decree from Skyguard has limited access to said station, as to whether this is permanent or temporary. No one knows. Mars Orbit communication satellites, contracted for use by TPT. Mainly used for information and software communication between all Prosthetic implants on the planet. Also broadcasts TPT's Vid Channel. What most people don't know is that the satellites are also equipped with a series of sensors, they are if need be eyes in the sky.[/hider] [color=DarkTurquoise][h2]Contract Offerings[/h2][/color] [b]Disclaimer[/b]- [i]All products/contracts of TPT are handled with care and quality, however the fruition of the following contracts can vary from customer to customer.[/i] [hider=Contract Database] [color=DarkGreen]...Database Login Archived...
