M-CORE

Molten Core, known and traded publicly as M-CORE, is one of the seven megacorporations in the world of Dust & Argon.

Primary Business
M-CORE is the world's largest industrial mining company. Based near Lake Victoria in Uganda, M-CORE's headquarters is also the site of their largest mineral processing plant which sits at the base of their private orbital elevator. M-CORE maintains sole rights to perform orbital mining, using a fleet of Dumb AI haulers and mining robots to bring in rock bodies from the asteroid belt and strip them before sending the mineral wealth down to the surface. M-CORE is the only megacorporation to have any sort of working relationship with the space colony nations, if only to navigate the task of bringing asteroids through their territory.

M-CORE also produces Armor Frames and military transports for sale to PMCs and nation states, as well as for their own security concerns. The company once produced mobile fortresses in the middle 23rd century, but advancements in AF technology made such machines impractical and unprofitable. The Chrome Road's Hraesvalgr air fortress is descended from M-CORE engineering.
