Origin 3

Origin 3 (named after humanity's origin of the third planet in the solar system) was created in 1996 by a young billionaire named Robert Denninger. Publicly its goal was to replace NASA, which had become bureaucracy driven and was showing little to no technological progress. Origin 3 purpose was to be the world's leading source of technological advancement in space exploration. It was able to do this by secretly having ties to Area 51 and the Aligner Project. With Asuran technology from the Aligner being studied and reverse engineered, Origin 3 was quickly able to accomplish its goal. Over the next twenty years, Origin 3 becomes the largest commercial enterprise in the world. The company expands its horizons into pharmaceuticals, weapons development, and even household appliances. By 2021, over 1.5 million people work for Origin 3. By 2023, the company's technology is used by most of the leading countries of the world. In 2024, NASA is dissolved, and it's assets are bought out by Origin 3.
