	Hephaestus and Zavodskoi ~~are long-enduring rivals~~, with the two megacorporations ~~competing~~ extensively in industry, manufacturing, robotics and engineering fields for decades. ~~Mutual~~ sabotage and espionage are common between Hephaestus and Zavodskoi, with both corporations having extensively bankrolled privateers, saboteurs and other plausibly deniable agents to ~~sabotage~~ their rivals. As Zavodskoi has expanded into the Empire of Dominia and Hephaestus into the Izweski Hegemony, the Sparring Sea and Badlands have become two ~~of the~~ largest ~~modern~~ battlegrounds for the megacorporations, with corporate-funded pirates commonly targeting one another's vessels. ~~Beyond~~ the use of privateers, Zavodskoi has often been accused of funding radical anti-Hephaestus groups within the Izweski Hegemony, most notably the Champions of Moghes - a terrorist organization which has remained suspiciously well-equipped and well-informed of Hephaestus operations. Hephaestus, meanwhile, has often been suspected of bankrolling various Dominian rebel groups in recent years, in the hopes of weakening Zavodskoi's large investment in the Empire's development. Shared membership in the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate has done nothing to quell the two giants' bitter feud, ~~with only~~ the ~~shared threat~~ of the ~~phoron crisis forcing them into cooperation~~.		Hephaestus and Zavodskoi famously have the worst relationship between any two corporations within the Orion Spur, with roots of their rivalry going back as far as prior to the discovery of the warp. It is also the most publicly known, as the two corporations have famously been embroiled in dozens of public scandals with each other. As time went on the animosity between the two megacorporations only grew, as they competed extensively in industry, manufacturing, robotics and engineering fields for decades, boarding on centuries. All types of sabotage and espionage are common between Hephaestus and Zavodskoi, with both corporations having extensively bankrolled privateers, saboteurs and other plausibly deniable agents to attack their rivals. As Zavodskoi has expanded into the Empire of Dominia and Hephaestus into the Izweski Hegemony, the Sparring Sea and Badlands have become the two most recent, and largest, battlegrounds for the megacorporations, with corporate-funded pirates commonly targeting one another's vessels. In the present day, beyond the use of privateers, Zavodskoi has often been accused of funding radical anti-Hephaestus groups within the Izweski Hegemony, most notably the Champions of Moghes - a terrorist organization which has remained suspiciously well-equipped and well-informed of Hephaestus operations. Hephaestus, meanwhile, has often been suspected of bankrolling various Dominian rebel groups in recent years, in the hopes of weakening Zavodskoi's large investment in the Empire's development. Shared membership in the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate has done nothing to quell the two giants' bitter feud,, which has become a source of constant headaches for Miranda and the SCC, who have had to threaten to economically break both companies multiple times just so they keep their conflict out of the public perception and grudgingly cooperate with SCC business.

	2462 was when change would overwhelm Necropolis, when Boytsov would collapse at a press conference, and fell into a coma. The company was sent into turmoil; Boytsov had never named a proper successor, despite his rapidly-advancing age. Lyudmila Zavodskoi had become a surprise contender, and her new group of executives, including her cousin Tikhon and the Imperial countess Kamilla Strelitz pushed out the old heads and helped turn Necropolis into rebranded, rebuilt Zavodskoi Interstellar.		2462 was when change would overwhelm Necropolis, when Boytsov would collapse at a press conference, and fell into a coma. The company was sent into turmoil; Boytsov had never named a proper successor, despite his rapidly-advancing age. Lyudmila Zavodskoi had become a surprise contender, and her new group of executives, including her cousin Tikhon and the Imperial countess Kamilla Strelitz pushed out the old heads and helped turn Necropolis into rebranded, rebuilt Zavodskoi Interstellar.

	In light of the company's turbulant history, Zavodskoi Interstellar opted to pursue what it knew how to do better than any other megacorporation in the Orion Spur: military equipment. Lymudmilla oversaw a total restructuring of the company, cutting the fat, unprofitable departments and branches, turning inwards to focus on the solid core industries of the corporation, of which there are three. The largest is its classical military-industrial complex, with a massive amount of ~~humanity~~'s military equipment, ranging from infantry small arms to combat hardsuits to vehicles to military AI and much more being produced by Zavodskoi or one of its subsidiaries. Its second is a result of Ingkom, its robust engineering wing; Zavodskoi engineering staff are a common sight throughout the Orion Spur, though their usage within the Solarian Alliance has faltered following the Solarian Collapse of late 2462. The smallest but most public facing industry is its private security force. Known for their professionalism, Zavodskoi's security wing is one of the most competitive in the Orion Spur. This restructuring would see Zavodskoi’s year over year profits skyrocket, once more being a competitor amongst their megacorporate peers, and continues to be how the company is currently operated.

	'''Zavodskoi Interstellar''', formerly Necropolis Industries, is the weapon’s development and manufacturing megacorporation of the Orion Spur. Originally founded in 2259 as a mishmash of corporations, the Zavodskoi of today is in a very different industry, instead developing, manufacturing, and then distributing all the tools of war; from light to heavy weaponry, space vessel weapons, ship-building, aircraft, ground vehicles, combat spacesuits, and even military software. While the business of war remains their main focus as a corporation, Zavodskoi also has a significant Security Solutions Branch, split further into civilian and paramilitary departments, the former known for their professionalism. Lastly, they also produce the Z.I. line of positronics, used by all branches of the corporation, but with an emphasis on use in private security and military contracting.

	Since the beginning of the phoron scarcity, Zavodskoi Interstellar has seen, alongside the myriad of issues in manufacturing, research, and weapons development the scarcity brought, a surprisingly rise in relevance and profits, as civil and international unrest continue to grow across the Orion Spur. As the scarcity continues and tensions - both those between nationstates and corporations - grow, Zavodskoi has made a fortune acting as a merchant of death for all parties; as fighting forces of all kinds continue to grow larger and larger, Zavodskoi is there selling any willing customer whatever tools of war they require . Most notably, its continued relationship with the [[Empire of Dominia]] has earned the corporation an unexpected pretty penny from defense contracts for both the Imperial Army and Imperial Navy, alongside an uncontested market within the Empire, as no other corporation has been able to establish a real foothold there.

	Necropolis Industries was founded in 2259 by Yefim Dementyev, a former aerospace engineer within the Soviet Union, the final step in conglomerating the defense, heavy industry, and medical corporations within the Soviet sphere under one banner (one of the reasons for their operations on Pluto), primarily to avoid them being bought out by competitors from other regions, such as Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals and Hephaestus Industries. While buyout was avoided, the newly formed Necropolis Industries was late to the party, as their competitors ~~in Zeng-Hu and Hephaestus~~ had been formed almost a century earlier, and established themselves within their respective markets of the wider Alliance at a level Necropolis could not compete with; until just a year later. In 2260 the Solarian economy crashed, and along with it both Zeng-Hu and Hephaestus Industries. The rival corporations to Necropolis were forced to desperately cut costs, shutter facilities, even close entire branches, as the government bailed them out in order to stay solvent, allowing Necropolis to move into the markets they abandoned, and in those that the established players didn’t leave, compete with them. They moved quickly, taking much of the defense manufacturing industry from [[Hephaestus Industries]], and a significant portion of the genetics industry from [[Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals]]. This move would be the start of a rivalry that would last centuries.

	The outbreak and years of the Interstellar War saw Dementyev oversee the rapid expansion of Necropolis, opening hundreds of new facilities every year to research, develop, and manufacture the tools of war; most notably, arms of all kind (small arms to shipborne weapons), combat voidsuits, helicopters, fighters, combat vehicles, and mechs. If it was a piece of equipment used on the battlefield during the Interstellar War, it was probably manufactured by Necropolis, with limited exceptions. By the time the ~~treaty~~ of Xansan was signed, Necropolis was the largest “Merchant of Death” in the known galaxy. They manufactured more than ninety percent of all weapons within the Alliance, and over half of all the equipment used by the Solarian Armed Forces.

	However, as relative peace followed the largest-scale conflict in human history, the board of directors turned their gaze to a yet-untouched (by them) field; biological experimentation. Though [[Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals]] was unambiguously more adept and well-established than their competitor, Necropolis had been able to wrest away some of the market when Zeng-Hu was weak, primarily the submarkets of gene therapy, xenobiology, and biological limb replacements. Their work in these areas was of brief interest to the wider galactic community, and while official correspondence pointed to a desire to broaden their sphere of influence moving away from solely weapons manufacturing, insiders at the company would later recount that Yefim Dementyev had begun to feel the creeping fear of his own mortality. Rumours would tell that he was obsessed with preserving himself and his legacy, and would use his own resources at any cost to achieve this preservation.

	Dementyev's pursuit would prove unsuccessful as he abruptly died from a septic infection in 2317. His son, Yevgeniy Dementyev, took hold of the company's reins, and would oversee a corporation that almost immediately began struggling. When first contact was made with the Skrell in 2332, and their subsequent partnership with Zeng-Hu, Necropolis’s rival corporation in the biomedical scene benefited from the advanced knowledge of the Skrell, while Necropolis didn’t. Meanwhile, the demands for Zavodskoi’s arms were less and less every year, cutting into their profits. However, Yevgeniy stayed at the helm and continued steering the corporation for two decades, until he steered it into one of the most important moments in galactic history..

	In 2352, [[NanoTrasen]] would discover the element [[Phoron]] within the Romanavich cloud of Tau Ceti, and Necropolis had been researching energy-based weapons for a long time; this discovery would allow for more powerful, longer lasting, and better energy-based weapons. Necropolis ended up being one of the first corporations to enter into a research & development agreement with NanoTrasen, this time being early to the party, meaning Necropolis got a much better deal than those who would come after. Originally looking to just develop new, more advanced tools of war to sell across the spur, they ended up doing far more.

Originally looking to just develop new, more advanced tools of war to sell across the spur, they ended up doing far more.

	Necropolis prospered alongside NanoTrasen and the rest of the spur, and while it was always the smallest and least profitable of the original seven megacorporations, it still became extravagantly wealthy as the technological revolution which followed phorons discovery in the decades after - known as the phoronic revolution - saw constant technological advancements that Necropolis could employ in defense manufacturing. From communication devices to tanks, and from voidsuits to small arms; for militaries, militias, private security contractors, and asset protection forces, Necropolis was the only corporation offering cutting edge equipment that might make the difference between living and dying in a firefight. It even branched out into cutting edge military specific AI applications. However all of the above required phoron to manufacture. It is during this time, Necropolis would bear witness to the contact with the [[Empire of Dominia]] by the Alliance. The corporation quickly took advantage of the nascent Empire's newness to the galactic stage, and established relations with the Great Houses and Emperor Godwin Keeser himself. From then on, Necropolis and the Empire's intimate ties meant that Necropolis boosted the efforts of not just Dominia's conquest, but the efforts of its genetic modification.

	Yet there is one discovery that neither NanoTrasen nor Necropolis speak much about, even today, and that is the discovery of the potential within Diphoron and Phoron Oxides, both colloquially referred to as “[[Weapons Grade Phoron]].” What mudders the waters further is a lack of clarity as to when it's far scarier applications were discovered - those applications being the creation of [[Phoron Warheads and Phoron WMDs]]. Contemporarily, these weapons are known to exist, and may be the end of the Spur as we know it.

	In 2409, Yevgeniy Dementyev passed down the mantle of chief executive officer to his son, Kasimir Boytsov. While Boytsov was not just a dabbler in genetics and had a keen mind like his father and grandfather, he was reputed for his impulsiveness and stubbornness, refusing to admit when the tides were turning against him. By 2450 Necropolis had become the neglected runner-up of the megacorporations, though it was always the smallest of them all, the valuation of the other major corporate entities was so far above their own, Necropolis was close to not even being compared. It was during this time that an information security operative at the company, Tikhon Zavodskoi, quietly recommended his cousin Lyudmila for a position as a weapons researcher. "The woman from [[Pluto]]", as she would soon be called, quickly worked her way up the ranks of the company to become the assistant to the chief security officer, bringing in her own cohorts of associates from Dominia and Sol alike.
