History
Brighter Sun Incorporated, formerly known as Brighter Sun Defence, started out as a simple weapons and starship manufacturer. Around the dawn of the 2400's the company would buyout and merge with three other large weapons and arms manufacturers, being Bluewing Arms, Paril'lii Taedr, and Wo Shi Technology, all known for thier technology and weapons catered towards the Human-like spieces across the two systems.
The buyouts and mergers weren't only for technology acquisition and patent rights, but to diversify their manufacturing locations, abilities and supply lines without having to establish thier own new factories. The buyout's didn't stop with other technology and weapons companies though, instead Brighter Sun Inc bought out and established controll over two large mercenary factions, one on Fate and one on Earth. Sons of Tyr were the Earth faction, and the Two Sun Enforcers were the Fate faction. The inclusion of essentially now privatisedmilitaries on both Earth and Fate, removed from the governments and political leaders of both planets was to ensure Brighter Sun Inc's control and pressence in both systems.
This buyout began the start of Brighter Sun's place as a major faction across the two systems, not only as a manufacturing company, but a privatised military superpower, able to influence laws, criminal factions and supplylines to other companies trying to compete. Because of this new controll 75% of all trade lines in Boreal, and 40% of trade lines in Solar are controlled by Brighter Sun, with them able to place their own tax's, tolls and other avenues to monopolise the weapons industry.
I was looking to the reading challenge for ideas, so I focused on summercamp prompts that I didn't do myself. Your article made it clear to me that an advanced military tech corporation is exactly what I'm going to need in my Traveller campaign setting.

Laurels & Loot is a new, lightweight TTRPG rules system that hearkens back to the early days.
Glad I could help XD Won't lie, was playing a load of Cyberpunk 2077 at the same time as the summer camp, so lot of influence from their megacorps
