Lindenwood Conglomerate:
The Lindenwood Conglomerate is a group of former Terran Mega Corps that banded together after the collapse of the gates. There are three main companies, 5 minor, and countless smaller businesses that have been bought out. The Conglomerate only expanded after the reopening of the gates, and influences many aspects of everyday life.
The Pillars:
The three largest companies of the Conglomerate:
-Daedalus Tech: The forerunner of technology of both the Earth and the other side, Daedalus Tech was formed from the Expansion into space by the Lockheed Martin-Boeing Company.

Currently over 7 million active combat troops, 20 million support personal, and 30 million Drones and other AI controlled machines. Also has a full navy, documented later.
Alhambra Banking: The only suriviving banking system that survived the collapse, Alhamrba provides the money to the Conglomerate as a whole. Currently it is the most prominent institution across the Gate, and even provides funds for Earth. They are the nominal head of the conglomerate.
