Lore: Corporations, Manufacturers, Companies#557

tl;dr Worldbuilding: Show who created each Armor/Weapon part, adding lore to the companies that run the world under the blanket WDF.

From what I understand, WDF’s Hephaestus Industries is the central manufacturer that makes MASS Armor production able to be done at the scale it’s done at.

But who made the individual armor sets that HI mass-produces? Who created the breakthroughs in technology that enabled energy weapons? Who runs QA tests on parts to make sure they won’t end up breaking the valuable MASS frames through normal use? have they perhaps contributed to the development of MASS technology beyond making sure parts work as intended?

what I’m not looking for is something akin to Armored Core, where the world’s Corpos are constantly fighting with one another for supremacy. I do however, love the idea that the various parts in an Armored Core game do have a creator behind them, rather than simply existing out of nowhere.

Perhaps the world’s Corpos use WDF as a Publisher of sorts and Hephaestus Industries as their manufacturer to expand MASS technology for the PMC Pilots. this could give regional flair to AI MASS Allies that work directly under a region’s Government, using weapons and armor based on where they are and who they work for. it would also give a bit of insight and bias to what various groups constitute as the “Peak Performance” of a MASS, whether specialized for their region or built for General Purpose.

this could, in turn, also create new decals for use, perhaps?
