	Founded in Sol during the 2100s, Einstein Engines was a transstellar megacorporation that focuses on both [[Interstellar_Travel#Warp_Travel\|warp travel technology]] and [[Synthetics\|robotics]] - and once had a monopoly on the former.

 * '''Taipei CryoCool Energy Storage:''' An expensive, phoron-free solution to Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES). CryoCool SMES units do not rely on phoron for superconductivity and instead rely on older, metal composite superconductors which require cryogenic temperatures to achieve superconductivity. Both the manufacturing, installation, and continued cryogenic cooling of CryoCool SMES units make this option significantly more expensive than today's phoron-inclusive SMES units. They are an occasional sight in advanced [[Solarian Alliance]] and [[Einstein Engines]] facilities, especially science or medical facilities that already come prepared for maintaining cryogenics equipment.
 * '''Taipei Helium-cooled Power Transmission:''' Teased in research journals in 2465, TEI's underground power infrastructure aims to create a phoron-free alternative to transmitting power around the Spur's larger cities, stations and ships, using cryogenically cooled helium to cool a non-phoron metal to superconductivity. The product remains in-development.

 Only available on the open market in 2464, Hammer Drives remain expensive, though not prohibitively so: '''A Hammer Drive's cost and speed is comparable to an expensive, mid-range bluespace drive – costing as much as a mansion and reducing the average journey to a few weeks)– with none of the phoron cost of a bluespace drive, less power demand than other high-end warp drives, and can fit in ships other high-end warp drives could not.'''

	The relationship between Einstein Engines and the Republic of Biesel is a rocky one. Despite the judicial court ruling in the megacorporation’s favour when it came to proprietorship of the Suzuki-Zhang drive, and Einstein’s takeover of Phoenixport through deception and one of its subsidiaries, Biesel cumulatively has a negative view on the spacefaring business due to its roots and home turf for its largest rival in business: NanoTrasen. Tensions flare between these titans of industry as they seek to outdo, bid, and create the other in an eternal struggle for power no one entity should fully control.

 The Suzuki-Zhang Hammer Drive was introduced to the Orion Spur in October of 2462, and, despite advertising attempts by Einstein Engines, has not proven to be a true contender to the far more superior bluespace drives produced by the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate. While it has been proven that the Suzuki-Zhang Hammer Drive is more fuel-efficient, as well as faster than other warp drives, it is still far from besting the speed offered by existing bluespace drives - even if the price of phoron has tripled since the beginning of the Phoron Scarcity. Currently, only vessels within the Solarian Alliance’s fleets are being outfitted with the Suzuki-Zhang Hammer Drive. With slight modifications, the Suzuki-Zhang Hammer Drive became available for commercial use in July of 2464.

	~~'''General'''~~

	Taipei Engineering Industrial (TEI) is a small subsidiary of Einstein Engines, founded in Taipei, Earth in April of 2418. They focus their efforts on the improvement of existing warp technologies and their applications in science, engineering, and industry.

	~~'''History'''~~

	Despite only minor financial backing and resources, Taipei Engineering Industrial focused their initial efforts on improving the concept of independent Bluespace drives. These drives would give conceptually instantaneous, independent jumps that would not need to rely on the existing mass-transit gates. TEI wished to give amplified mobility and accessibility to [[Sol_Alliance#Sol_Alliance_Military\|Sol Alliance Navy vessels]] as to allow improved reconnaissance capabilities. However, when testing a new warp drive with altered parameters on an unmanned drone, it was discovered that the test unit had been transported through an expansive extradimensional tunnel system. This tunnel seemed to feature physics unlike those seen in common space. The events on the fourth of February, 2452 would become known as the “Hyperspace Incident”.

	Though no actual, solid entities were within these "hyperspatial subspace clusters" of presumed matter, the drone found it difficult to pass through seemingly transparent space. Upon the drone navigating its surroundings, it found itself within an amalgamation of strange, constantly moving polygon-shaped obstructions. The solid "objects" within the anomaly were outlined within borders making it impossible to pass through, not unlike colliding into a realspace wall. Interestingly, while the drone was initially approaching the cluster via the hyperspace tunnel when it initially made the jump, it appeared to be a third-dimensional spherical object. Upon entering the cluster, the appearance and shape of visible anomalies varied from 2D, 3D and 4D, there was little apparent consistency. Some scientists blamed the visual sensors of the discovery drone being incapable of seeing that of what the human eye is adjusted to, while others claimed it was a revelation of varying physics between dimensions, that of realspace with 3 spatial dimensions, and that of hyperspace with a varying spatial dimension count. Whether this revelation is true or not is still a matter for debate, as no human as of yet has volunteered for an expedition into a hyperspace jump.

	Most notably, however, is that while the drone warped approximately three hundred million kilometers from its position in sters and hyperspatial 'highways' before it actually dropped into realspace again. This led the monitoring research team to believe that the concept of hyperspatial time was radically different than from that from realspace.

	Terraneus Diagnostics started as a small development program with the advent of Artificial Intelligences, and with the invention of a specialized intelligence that could rapidly solve large computational problems, the company was soon founded. Their rapid growth is thanks to their continuous innovation in this area, culminating within a decade with the construction of [[Notable_Synthetics#SUNSHINE\|SUNSHINE]], possibly the single largest and most complex intelligence in Alliance space. With the construction of its three Manifold facilities, they have spread their influence and contract-taking across [[Sol_Alliance\|the Sol Alliance]], [[~~The_Frontier_Alliance~~\|the ~~Frontier Alliance~~]], and [[Republic_of_Biesel\|the Republic of Biesel]]. Though explicitly stated to not be for combat purposes, many of their computing intelligences can be found on large Sol Navy vessels.
