Tri-Optimum makes many fine products, but there's one thing that they are better at making than any other company in history: comebacks. Tri-Optimum is one of the few companies to survive from the dawn of the Corporate Era to today and has been the cause of, and solution to, an unprecedented number of major catastrophes. Before the human races had even left good old Earth, Tri-Optimum had risen to become the single largest conglomerate in existence. Tragically their shares took a heavy blow when their visionary prototype Artificial Intelligence subsumed a military orbital station and caused millions of casualties via militarized posthumans. But Tri-Optimum picked themselves up, brushed themselves off, and regained their former position as top conglomerate with their pioneering work in early Faster Than Light Travel. This, too, ended in the near liquidation of the company, although it was an unprecedented necrotype outbreak and not necessarily due to Tri-Optimum military technology, despite what lobbyists of the period may have claimed.
Through the millennia Tri-Optimum has continued to be the boldest of the corporations, attempting what some might call technological dead ends, and nearly eradicating themselves and the galaxy in the process. Militarized post-capuchin-monkeys. Cybermidwives. Quantum resurrection booths. Mechanical psi-boosters. Selling Strontium and other heavy metals on the open market packaged in plastic jars. Sure, in retrospect these may seem like ill-informed choices, but we should all count ourselves fortunate that Tri-Optimum is still here to make us take these challenging opportunities.
