Outworld Workshops
Eddi is the home of Outworld Workshops, manufacturer of both the vanilla game Adder and of the OXP Ophidian.
History
Outworld Workshops was created when it emerged that several of Spalder and Prime Inc.'s personnel were accused and found guilty of corruption. They escaped justice with the aid of certain smuggling and pirate cartels whose pay they had been in (they had been incorporating illegal devices in ships that were ultimately purchased by fronts to these organisations). In 2895 these groups formed Outworld Workshops.
Initially they concentrated on modifying vessels to their own requirements, but in 2912 they completed the design of their own craft, the Adder. It went in to production two years later when their various illicit activities had raised sufficient cash to construct basic shipyard facilities.
GalCop spent a great deal of effort in trying to locate the base of operations but could never work their way to the bottom of the web of shady dealers and small-time criminals whose hands the Adder often ended up in.
Because of their clandestine nature the ship's spaceframe had never been approved by the GalCop's Aeronautics Committee, and for many years was banned from the stricter systems. As time went by and the ship became more common it became increasingly accepted. By the early 3000s it could be seen throughout the galaxy, and the authorities eventually decided that they would tolerate the sale of the ship on the open market. The same was true for several other ships designed by Outworld.
In 3208 the Outworld laboratories were discovered when a GalCop patrol pursuing an infamous pirate clan in the Anarchy world of Eddi stumbled across them. Rather than face large bodies of police descending on the system, when they had usually avoided it in their past (which is why Outworld had remained undiscovered for three hundred years) they paid the fines and gained a legitimate front. It has been suggested in some quarters that since Outworld appear to control most of the industry in the system it should re-classified as a Corporate State. The Galactic Co-Operative seems understandably reluctant to do so whilst Outworld are under suspicion of still being heavily involved with piracy and smuggling.
It should not be expected that Outworld are a major force in the shipbuilding industry, despite their dominant position in Eddi's industry. They have provided a little stability to a chaotic world, but its economy is still largely based on agriculture, where it has managed to be be surprisingly successful considering its anarchic history.
