[meta] "company to be named later"
[meta] "company to be named later"
#1
I've noticed a few FenWiki entries with infobox or text-body data mentioning something along the lines of "a Fen company, but not one of the usual suspects". Here's a thread to list some of those companies.

The list, so far, is bare-bones - company name, field of interest, and source material - unless I thought of something that might make for the germ of the core of the beginning of a plotbunny.

These shouldn't be added to the FenWiki as-is; they're only here to serve as suggestions.

Companies that aren't yet mentioned in Fenspace (but should they be?):
  • Tyrell Corporation - makers of the Nexus-6 and other models of Replicant bio-roids (Blade Runner)
  • Domesticon - Android servant manufacturers (Sleeper)
  • Weyland Corp. - Terraforming & Evil Trans-Systems Giga-Corp. (Aliens) Becomes Weyland-Yutani Corp. (Aliens Vs. Predator)
  • Cyberdyne Systems - Computer systems & software development (Terminator 2)
  • Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems - Weird Red-Lectroid Science (Buckaroo Banzai)
  • Planet Express - Delivery/Courier corporation (Futurama). (With JMC and HUD already active, we don't really need a third big courier... but there's always room for a niche player.)
Other groups that might or might not exist:
  • The Dictatorship of the Air - H.G. Welles Fen with megalomania, from the group exercising empirical control of the world in The Shape of Things to Come.
  • Diplomatic Order Of Planets ("DOOP") - either what the Futurama Fen are called when the speaker wants to piss off the Trekkies in earshot, or what the Futurama Fen call the Trekkies.

Take whatever you need. Add more if you've got them...
