Executive Suite & Governance

CEO — Calista Orun Kade

  • Hard-charging operations chief; keeps yards on schedule from casting to shipment. Famous for 30-hour line audits and ruthless supplier swaps.

CFO — Linh Q. Romero

  • Structured finance ace; pioneered “reactor-as-a-service” leases and performance bonds for fleet buyers; quietly funds Redline programs through off-balance vehicles.

CTO — Dr. Harlan Tse

  • Leads propulsion and control stacks; co-authored the “Tharsis Stack” autonomy suite; rumored to maintain back-door telemetry channels for post-sale performance tuning.

Chief Safety & Compliance (CSCO) — Mira Ghali

  • Public face of recalls and audits; credible with BuCol and station authorities; regularly clashes with Redline over “gray” options.

Aftermarket & Motorsport (AFM)

  • Arena sponsorships, factory teams, parts catalogs, telemetry-driven tune subscriptions.

Products & Notables

  • Ozymandias 6000 (Redline): high-performance superbike platform (Adi’s model), famed for mod headroom, illegal city-mesh lockout delete, and rocket-assist integration packages (closed course).

  • Down: City-mesh override scandals, recall cycles, BuCol probes into anti-seize modules, crashes tied to third-party hacks.

Public Image vs Internal Reality

Public StoryInside TFM
“Safe speed for a working Mars.”Redline sells “research components” that become black-market must-haves.
“City-mesh compliant. Always.”Quiet anti-mesh options exist for special clients; deniability preserved via shell vendors.
“We honor BuCol and Station Law.”Compliance negotiates settlements; COOs keep shipping until a formal stop order lands.

Regulatory & Political Ties

  • BuCol (Bureau of Colonies): Recalls, fleet approvals, station compliance audits.
  • Mars Motorsport Authority (MMA): Sanctions factory teams; waivers for experimental drives.
  • Valles City Council: Public transit contracts and infrastructure grants.
  • DSI: Limited collaboration on hard-terrain mobility for security forces; no ordnance ties.

Relationship Map (useful intersections)

  • MSI: Purchases TFM utility fleets; alleged cross-pollination of “hardened control housings” for breacher vehicles.
  • Tessera Zero Dynamics (TZD): Coating contracts for heat-resistant blade/finishes on Redline exchangers; shared PR vendors.
  • Lazarus Consortium: Occasional procurement of reactor leases for “logistics ships”; rumor mill hints at telemetry scraping.
  • Kane / DSI: Kane’s contacts may have arranged quiet anti-mesh packages for operatives under “closed-course” cover.
