VWT Inc.

Company of the Alti Dominion military industrial complex.

VWT Inc. was only a relatively recent addition to the list of large companies of the Dominion. It was founded by an individual who, through sheer ingenuity and hard work, became a very proficient engineer. This individual went on to found a number of large companies such as VWT, as they became more experienced. This rapid raise to the highest social classes of the Alti dominion only lasted about 15 years, before which he was a very ordinary worker. This rapid rise to power has massively increased his ego though, which has largely changed his behaviour when interacting with the wider populace (such as through the news) and also giving him more fascist beliefs. He largely lost public opinion based on these 2 factors. Large company leaders often have to work around having this highly emotionally unstable founder, and VWT is no exception. They often try to distract him from making some poor decisions. 

VWT Inc. specialises in highly advanced electronic technologies. This includes electronic warfare platforms, lightweight capacitors (electricity storage devices), electric vehicles and even energy based weaponry. Working together with other companies like the KX Foundation, they have managed to jointly improve Alti military technology rapidly, bringing them on par with Republic of Miasi equivalents. VWT also expanded on Subspatial Starship technologies, allowing Alti subs to 'dive' deeper and remain in subspatial depths for longer with adequate supplies. Through cooperation with the KX Foundation, their subspatial starships have improved noticeably over the last few years. Though they do not construct ships, they supply starship parts and many ships of the Dominion will use parts from VWT.

VWT's headquarters is located on a massive space station orbiting the G class star at the center of the Kevra system. It is located in an orbit fairly close to that of the Kevra II a/b binary system for easy access which has made logistics a bit easier for this massive company. They also own a number of smaller research stations around many corners of Alti territory for the purposes of researching new technologies. Of course, they also own a large number of factories for the production of their products. They are  known to also own a number of concentration camps designed to enslave Jalaqin and Drailad species members.

In contrast to typical Alti nation colours, the logo of VWT is mostly white with several red stripes. It is also highly pointy on several sides, making it quite recognisable. It is meant to showcase the unique and advanced technology that the company will sell. It also connects the company to its owner, who also designed several other corporation logos with a similar style. 

Much like the KX Foundation, employees of VWT are also not paid much and also have to suffer poor working conditions and as such there are protests. These can come in the form of strikes or even less peaceful protests. The worst protest thus far had a number of workers invade the headquarters station where some people even stole parts to bring back home. The majority of these individuals were arrested or even killed, but a few got away with it. However the company sometimes invested in better working conditions after these, usually in the field of safety.
