PTMC
Established 2058 — Solar System & Beyond
Corporate Overview
The Post Terran Mining Corporation is the largest interplanetary mining conglomerate in the known solar system. Headquartered beyond Earth's orbit, PTMC operates an extensive network of automated mines across planets, moons, and asteroids throughout the inner and outer solar systems.
PTMC's robotic mining installations extract vital minerals and energy resources that fuel humanity's expansion into deep space. Our operations span from the scorching mines of Mercury to the frozen depths of Pluto and beyond.
Mining Operations
PTMC utilizes fully autonomous robotic systems to extract resources in environments too hazardous for human workers. Our mines are equipped with state-of-the-art defense systems and are managed remotely from orbital command stations.
Lunar Operations
Primary extraction facilities on Earth's Moon, processing Helium-3 and rare earth minerals critical to fusion power generation.
Mars Division
Deep-core mining operations across Valles Marineris, extracting heavy metals and crystalline compounds for shipbuilding.
Asteroid Belt
Mobile extraction platforms harvesting platinum-group metals from the main belt. Highest revenue division per capita.
Outer Rim
Volatile mining operations on the moons of Jupiter and Saturn. Classified projects in the Zeta Aquilae system.
The Pyro-GX
The Pyro-GX is PTMC's premier deep-space combat vessel, designed for navigating the tight corridors of mining installations. Originally developed as a maintenance craft, it was retrofitted for combat operations after the robot uprising that threatened PTMC assets across the solar system.
Armed with laser cannons, missile systems, and advanced shield generators, the Pyro-GX became the weapon of choice for contracted Material Defenders tasked with reclaiming compromised mines.
Material Defenders
When a computer virus of unknown origin infected PTMC's robot workers, turning them hostile, the corporation contracted independent mercenary pilots — designated Material Defenders — to infiltrate compromised mines, destroy infected robots, and trigger reactor core meltdowns to purge each facility.
Operating under a Standard Mercenary Agreement, Material Defenders pilot the Pyro-GX through labyrinthine mine shafts, facing increasingly dangerous robotic threats deep within PTMC installations. Corporate liaison Samuel Dravis manages field operations, though his true motives remain a subject of speculation.
