Type: Faction — Corporation (Earth-based, historical) Acronym meaning: Lion, Mass-Tech Status: Canon (confirmed by creator) — distinct entity from LMT (Maf) — Landfall Manufacturing & Trade
Overview
The Earth-based LMT Corporation — "Lion, Mass-Tech" — built the Ark Royal under the leadership of Vee, funding and constructing the ark ship and its 15 shuttles over more than 10 years ahead of Earth's anticipated nuclear World War Three.
✅ Relationship to Maf's LMT — RESOLVED, AND LATER MERGED
This Earth-based "LMT Corporation" (Lion, Mass-Tech) is a separate legal entity from LMT (Maf) — Landfall Manufacturing & Trade, the Maf-based conglomerate that owns the World Bank. Confirmed via "Original Colonists Part Three": Maf's LMT was founded in 1898 by the Jones family specifically as a tribute/honorary namesake to this Earth corporation — not a literal continuation, but a deliberate homage from the very family Perold Jones belonged to, in gratitude for Vee having saved them from Earth's destruction.
✅ Merger mechanism fully detailed (per ChatGPT export material — "Kila Vas Financial Growth"): By December 2006, with IFTR's future clearly in jeopardy following the Treaty of Starbase 17, IFTR's leading corporation — LMT, headquartered in New York, with trade routes across 50%+ of the Milky Way — discovered it had a "sister" corporation on Kila Vas: the same LMT name, and even the same family at its helm. The two entered merger talks and combined within months into a single corporation with access to the Confluence Region, Ad Astra, and the entire Snickers Galaxy. Headquarters transferred from New York to Kila Vas. Thousands of Earth-LMT executives and employees relocated to Kila Vas (named individuals: Susan Smith, Migdalia Holmes, Ralph Jones, Piers Montgomery, David Anthony, Vertran I'Kala, Sal Susa), and — via grandfather/seniority clauses — displaced many existing Kila Vas LMT staff from their roles, causing internal resentment. The Fellow Associates (LMT's true "power behind the throne," existing only on Maf, not at Earth's LMT) chose a neutral outsider as CEO: Verkanon Meredith, former President of Kila Vas trade/retail giant Heszron Interplanetary Products. By the end of 2008, the merged LMT covered the better part of the Milky Way, with resources dwarfing its nearest competitors by many multiples. This directly explains the "Playable MMORPG from Concept" claim that the merged LMT became "by many magnitudes" the largest corporation in existence.
This also retroactively explains the earlier-flagged candidate name "Lion, Maf-Terra" (found in the ChatGPT export material, flagged by the creator as an "old/contradictory" name) — likely a garbled or evolving memory blending "Lion, Mass-Tech" (Earth) with "Maf" itself.
✅ Source located: the "Lion, Maf-Terra" name is confirmed to originate from the ChatGPT conversation "Fate RPG Familiarity," where it's used as LMT's name during Fate RPG character-sheet worldbuilding for Perold Jonas (described there as one of hundreds of heirs to LMT). Superseded by current canon, LMT — Landfall Manufacturing & Trade.
