Olympus Inc.

Although Olympus wasn’t an original company involved in the colonization of Mars, it is arguably the most important one to come out of it. Originally created by Alexander Burne, the son of Graham Burne, heir of Burne Industries. While Burne Industries specialized in mining equipment, Alexander saw a profit to be made from developing homegrown Martian vehicles. This primarily meant small mining vessels, trucks, diggers, and other heavy machinery. Their success grew, until they were able to buy out other companies, including Burne Industries.

Their peak didn’t occur until they began developing and selling powered lifting suits. Alexander recognized that miners would need to do heavy lifting or otherwise bring machinery in to do that, and the powered lifting suit was developed as a response. Future research the company would do much later after its widespread success would result in the development of AAs, using research done on ALAs and ATs.

Olympus Inc. currently owns and operates many subsidiaries, and in turn covers a wide market share on many things. While it specializes in machinery, it also owns companies related to energy, health, and transport.
