✅ Relationship to Earth's LMT — RESOLVED
This Maf-based LMT (Landfall Manufacturing & Trade) is a separate entity from LMT Corporation (Earth) — "Lion, Mass-Tech" — the Earth corporation that built the Ark Royal under Vee's leadership. Confirmed via "Original Colonists Part Three": Maf's LMT was founded in 1898 (Maf local calendar) by the Jones family specifically as a tribute/honorary namesake to Vee's Earth LMT Corporation — not a literal continuation of it, but a deliberately-named homage by the very family that Perold Jones belonged to. See LMT Corporation (Earth) and Jonesboro for the full founding story.
Overview
✅ See LMT: Full Corporate History and Nature for the confirmed founding date (~3,000 years ago in New York, Earth), the Jonesboro/Kila Vas lineage, the Fellow Associates' Seeding Program, and LMT's nature as a self-preserving economic-intelligence institution. LMT stands for Landfall Manufacturing & Trade. A large corporate entity that owns a portfolio of in-game businesses, including the World Bank — the largest bank in Maf. Likely a significant economic power player given its ownership of the World Bank specifically. Founded 1898 by the Jones family in Jonesboro — directly connecting LMT (Maf) to Perold Jones/Jonas and Jonesboro's founding, resolving the long-presumed connection.
Founding history: Founded 1898 (Maf local calendar) in Jonesboro by the Jones family, in tribute to Earth's LMT Corporation (see above). Full subsequent corporate history (path from 1898 founding to present-day World Bank ownership) not yet documented — pending fuller ChatGPT export processing.
[NOTE: the creator flagged the name "Landfall Manufacturing & Trade" as provisional — "unless I change it later." Treat as current canon but don't be surprised if revisited once the remaining ChatGPT export files are processed.]

Open Questions
- What other corporations/portfolio companies does LMT own today? The World Bank and Interam Hotel Group are confirmed so far — worth checking economy-related ChatGPT threads ("Money's Ease of Spending," "Money: Facilitating Economic Activities," "Kila Vas Financial Growth") for more of LMT's holdings.
- Is LMT a playable/interactable faction, or purely background economic lore?
- Full corporate history from 1898 founding to present-day World Bank ownership not yet documented
- ✅ RESOLVED — naming discrepancy. The Ascendant-Class Ship page previously used "LMT (Lion, Maf-Terra)", sourced from the same "Maf Starfleet Battles Discussion" conversation as this page's subsidiary list. Per creator direction, "Landfall Manufacturing & Trade" is the confirmed name; "Lion, Maf-Terra" is discarded and both affected pages have been corrected.
