Horizon Entreprises is a trading company, supplier of Pindolan Ale in the Wildlands and in the United Sectors. Being the only human corporation to have monopoly over a product in the Wildlands, Horizon Entreprises is the main competitor of Iron Corporation.

History
Thomas Valerie founded Horizon in the Wildlands, after only 3 weeks as a trader. Initially carrying goods between docks, Horizon managed to thrive before Iron completely took over the Wildlands' economic potential. By the time that had happened, both Iron and Horizon started building breweries to profits from Pindolan Ale. However, suppliers and independent traders flocked to Horizon's breweries instead of Iron's. It was never fully understood how or why, but Horizon used this chance to use this as a mean of advertisemet. "How can Machines make better beer if they can not get drunk?", says Valerie, Horizon's CEO.

By 2254, Iron was planning on destroying Horizon's breweries to gain control over the product. However, Horizon managed to avoid this by gaining the complete trust of the inhabitants of Wildlands' planets as the right company to supply them with the alcoholic beverage. Iron was forced to back down, since destroying the breweries would actually decrease profits, since planet dwellers would be suspicious of Iron and revolt. Iron still profits of that, since they own the Trade Stations of the Wildlands and as such they supply planet dwellers with Horizon's Pindolan Ale.

Recently, they settled in the United Sectors as well, owning a brewery in Pampgartes, where they became a major threat to the profits of smaller corporations, who abandoned the business. So, Horizon built a second brewery in Pampgartes to supply the USC Trade Station there.

Economy
Horizon only owns breweries and one military outpost to equip traders with better defenses, in Uronessaly.

Functions
Horizon does not engage in combat and its diplomacy is mostly secured by its job as a supplier of everyones' favorite drink.
