InterCore is currently the sole **Megacorporation** operating out of Iridia system, and one of the largest Megacorporations in Recom space. InterCore (or **IC** for short) produces a vast line of products, from household tools and utensils to military hardware and beyond. The corporation is a leader in advanced avionics, weapons systems, and modular ship components. Since the turn of the 23rd century, IC has directed significant R&D funding to advancements of [[Artificial Intelligence]] systems which has propelled the corporation to one of the premier developers of cutting-edge machine intelligences. | InterCore is currently the sole **Megacorporation** operating out of Iridia system, and one of the largest Megacorporations in Recom space.

- | InterCore is classified as a **Corponation** (sic) under Iridian law; a Corponation exists as a distinct legal and territorial entity from the Inarian government. This status allows the corporation the ability to draft and enforce its own laws independent of the Iridian government, as well as permission to assemble a defensive armed force. The corporation retains extremely close ties to the Iridian government and has been a considerable driving force behind the development of Oceania since its first settlements were founded. Corporate citizens are granted dual-citizenship between InterCore and Iridia, and while it is generally considered a matter of pride to refer to themselves a member of InterCore first, most politically-minded corporate citizens tend to remain involved with Iridian politics just as actively as corporate affairs. | + | InterCore is classified as a **Corponation** (sic) under Iridian law; a Corponation exists as a distinct legal and territorial entity from the Inarian government.

Some vocal opponents of InterCore claim that the corporation controls the Iridian government. This is a common misconception. In fact, InterCore holds just one of the seats in the governing body of Iridia, as well as seats within the Oceanian Development Board and Iridian Defensive Council.

After the disaster in Alpha Dome on Luna and underscored by the political unrest on Mars which followed shortly after, InterCore announced plans to develop a hospital ship. While few details have been released, design specifications call for a full-service orbital hospital and triage center, accompanied by atmosphere-capable landing craft which can provide field hospital services in virtually any planetary environment. | After the disaster in Alpha Dome on Luna and underscored by the political unrest on Mars which followed shortly after, InterCore announced plans to develop a hospital ship.

Prophecy provides significant assistance for in-house scientific and R&D projects for InterCore, and processing time is also leased to other companies for scientific research. Students studying computer science in Oceanian universities enjoy free (though restricted) access to the AI as well. | ||
