	~~FTU Founded~~ in ~~solfed~~, quickly ~~expands to serve~~ as ~~the main~~ logistics provider ~~within solfed~~, nestling itself firmly within the pockets of politicians, and voters alike.		Starting in 2491, The FTU gets founded within the heart of the Sol and is quickly absorbed by Solfed as a primary logistics provider, nestling itself firmly within the pockets of politicians, and voters alike.

	~~2491:~~ MECU is still many ~~years~~ from reaching ~~the heart of~~ solfed with their network of transportation ships, but news ~~travels~~ faster than shuttles. MECU begins to hear buzzing around a few of their planets attached to their economic web. Hinting to them that Solfed’s reach has started to encroach onto their controlled sectors. As a move to figure out Solfed’s successful expansions they deem to investigate these planets more closely and find out that a secondary company is attempting to negotiate trade within these planets. MECU starts a hush order to these minorly enslaved planets to avoid negotiating with the new company and begin counter intelligence fully. They figure from their findings that a new trade union is attempting to establish holdings within these planets to provide supplies and weaponry under their protection and supervision of Solfed. Leading to consistent discoveries of their proposals to many other companies. Specifically a notable research station belonging to NT. With the ~~solfeds~~ new competitor in their market, begins a quiet rivalry.		MECU in the meantime is still many lightyears away from reaching solfed, even with their network of grand transportation ships, but news traveling faster than shuttles. MECU begins to hear buzzing around a few of their planets attached to their economic web. Hinting to them that Solfed’s reach has started to encroach onto their controlled sectors with the aide of Solfed's bureaucratic strength. As a move to figure out Solfed’s successful expansions they deem to investigate these planets more closely and find out that a secondary company is attempting to negotiate trade within these planets. MECU starts a hush order to these minorly enslaved planets to avoid negotiating with the new company and begin counter intelligence line network fully. They figure from their findings that a new trade union is attempting to establish holdings within these planets to provide supplies and weaponry under their protection and supervision of Solfed. Leading to consistent discoveries of their proposals to many other companies. Specifically a notable research station belonging to NT. With the Solfeds new competitor in their market, begins a quiet rivalry.

	MECU is hoping to upset their market-hold without damaging their own reputation.		MECU during this time is hoping to upset their market-hold without damaging their own reputation whilst increasing their influence in the shadows. They begin to expand more into the Solfed controlled sectors under the guise of being a minor share holder in a different but minor trade company that was previously annexed into MECU.

	2500: MECU finally expands into ~~solfed~~ place proper, meeting steep interference from both governmental, and FTU methods to derail them gaining a strong position in the heart of sol.		Now moving through the years from 2500 to 2550, MECU finally expands into Solfed place proper, meeting steep interference from both governmental and FTU methods to derail them gaining a strong position in the heart of sol. With Solfed's attempts failing, they try to buy out NT directly, but with their weak political connections in Sol, it’s shut down under fear of a third-party gaining such a powerful entity tied so closely to Sol. By this point, the MECU brass has all but abandoned their original intentions, even their ‘bettering their intentions,’ as morals often getting in the way of profit. It leads to continuing trend of cut-throat methods to knock any competitors out of the race or even… history itself.

	~~With this failing~~, they ~~try~~ to ~~buy out NT directly~~, ~~but with~~ their ~~weak political connections~~ in ~~Sol, it’s shut down under fear~~ of ~~a third-party gaining such a powerful entity tied so closely to Sol~~.		After years of back alley transgressions, there begins proper and formal talks within the heart of Sol particularly between MECU and solfed as they both finally attempt to meet on equal grounds. If you can consider the playground of two major powers "equal" or so to say. During these talks the FTU drives in to their position to make MECU a hard and difficult political choice within the sector, despite the transportation advantage they try their hardest to oust them as being an ‘Outsider in the Heart of Sol’.

	~~By this point,~~ the ~~brass has all but abandoned their original intentions~~, ~~even~~ their ~~‘better intentions,’ morals often getting in the way of profit; lead to continuing trend of cut-throat methods to knock any competitors out~~ of ~~the race… or history itself~~.		Continuing some years later MECU gains a little leeway with Solfed and decides to stop being so cautious around them. They begin to actively disrupt both the FTU’s favor and presence in areas they operate, staging incidents and taking any opportunity to drag them into a court hearing using their own contract against them and planting seedlings of distasteful conduct.

	~~2525: The FTU starts positioning to make~~ MECU a ~~hard political choice~~, ~~despite the transportational advantage~~, ~~with them being an ‘Outsider in~~ the ~~Heart~~ of ~~Sol~~.’		Around this time MECU also targets a major contract both entailing both the FTU and Solfed. The Nanotrasen research hub and station. However, NT shuts down attempts by MECU to secure contracts on their stations, bearing bad blood from the attempted buyout and superseding of themselves on the basis given by the FTU.

	~~2550: MECU Starts actively trying~~ to ~~disrupt both the FTU’s favor and presence in areas they operate, staging incidents and taking any opportunity to drag them into a court hearing~~.		This all comes to an end however. As on the year 2564(The present day), when MECU's Seedlings begin to sprout. MECU formally sues to buy out the FTU’s government contracts, citing a sudden string of horrible choices by the FTU in both stock exchanges, public appearances, and general mishaps in places they operate. NT, now in the predicament of lacking a major supplier, needs to decide on whether to integrate the ongoing FTU contracts and replace them directly with MECU, or to begin looking for a new supplier effectively shutting down the company engines, violating their agreement to Solfed.

	~~NT furthermore shuts down attempts by MECU to secure contracts~~ on ~~their stations, bearing bad blood from~~ the ~~attempted buyout and superseding of themselves.~~

			2260: The cooling of SolFed's rash of ideological cold wars leaves MCLSP with more manufacturing power than customer. The paranoia-fueled weapons and defenses don't translate well to peacetime sales, forcing MCLSP to reinvent their market share and leverage their existing manufactories and supply chains into a self-sustaining ore-to-door logistics network.

As time goes on, the methods they take to prop up the quickly sinking market become more extreme, {{TooltipInline\|forced prisoner labor\|2290, in wake of the Underutilized Asset Inventory.}} is the first biggest change, as well as leveraging the foundations of previously local owners to support an overwhelming economic imposition upon the original ‘government’ meant to oversee them, letting them swallow it up and establish themselves as a local corpocracy.

			2315: Large companies focusing on freight eventually start nearing their territory, and after some ‘scuffles,’ they find out they’re immensely far behind on travel technology, shifting their focus once more. This time, expanding their in-house transportation tech and modernizing their now-ancient Bluespace drives, just in time for SolFed's [[Lore:SolFed#Second_Migration\|Second Migration]].

			FTU Founded in solfed, quickly expands to serve as the main logistics provider within solfed, nestling itself firmly within the pockets of politicians, and voters alike.

			2491: MECU is still many years from reaching the heart of solfed with their network of transportation ships, but news travels faster than shuttles. MECU begins to hear buzzing around a few of their planets attached to their economic web. Hinting to them that Solfed’s reach has started to encroach onto their controlled sectors. As a move to figure out Solfed’s successful expansions they deem to investigate these planets more closely and find out that a secondary company is attempting to negotiate trade within these planets. MECU starts a hush order to these minorly enslaved planets to avoid negotiating with the new company and begin counter intelligence fully. They figure from their findings that a new trade union is attempting to establish holdings within these planets to provide supplies and weaponry under their protection and supervision of Solfed. Leading to consistent discoveries of their proposals to many other companies. Specifically a notable research station belonging to NT. With the solfeds new competitor in their market, begins a quiet rivalry.

			MECU is hoping to upset their market-hold without damaging their own reputation.

			2500: MECU finally expands into solfed place proper, meeting steep interference from both governmental, and FTU methods to derail them gaining a strong position in the heart of sol.

			With this failing, they try to buy out NT directly, but with their weak political connections in Sol, it’s shut down under fear of a third-party gaining such a powerful entity tied so closely to Sol.

			By this point, the brass has all but abandoned their original intentions, even their ‘better intentions,’ morals often getting in the way of profit; lead to continuing trend of cut-throat methods to knock any competitors out of the race… or history itself.

			2525: The FTU starts positioning to make MECU a hard political choice, despite the transportational advantage, with them being an ‘Outsider in the Heart of Sol.’

			2550: MECU Starts actively trying to disrupt both the FTU’s favor and presence in areas they operate, staging incidents and taking any opportunity to drag them into a court hearing.

			NT furthermore shuts down attempts by MECU to secure contracts on their stations, bearing bad blood from the attempted buyout and superseding of themselves.

			2564(The present day): MECU formally sues to buy out the FTU’s government contracts, citing a sudden string of horrible choices by the FTU in both stock exchanges, public appearances, and general mishaps in places they operate. NT, now in the predicament of lacking a major supplier, needs to decide on whether to integrate the ongoing FTU contracts and replace them directly with MECU, or to begin looking for a new supplier effectively shutting down the company engines violating their agreement to Solfed.
