Omnicore Negotiation
- In March 2248, the Omnicore Board finally agreed to negotiate with Martians and space shippers after an eight-month standoff.
- This decision followed a leak that revealed Omnicore's FOS-5 reserves were lower than claimed, increasing global pressure.
Omnicore's Monopoly Challenged
- Public pressure mounted on Omnicore due to concerns about FOS-5 delivery, threatening their monopoly on space operations.
- Four other major corporations, including Bicore, CalCore, MazCore, and T-Core, existed alongside Omnicore, vying for power.
Corporate Maneuvering
- Omnicore shared Flexcel designs and joint ventures with other corporations in exchange for their space monopoly.
- These corporations, especially Bicore and T-Core, maintained lunar operations, partly as a cover for building space divisions.
