Personality: Normal

Photon Corporation was a major ally of Star Omega during its early establishment in the Old Conglomerate, after being a small company in the Wildlands. After a few years of coexistence, Photon was wiped out by SOM to be removed as an intermediary in trade with the worlds of the Old Conglomerate.

History
Photon was first founded as a loose alliance of traders in the early years of the Wildlands' colonization. Being the first to build a simple and cheap version of a Trade Station, Photon established itself as a driving force in the economy. After the rise of competitors like Haven Corporation, Photon suffered profit losses and was dismantled in a coup planned by the uprising Zodiac Couriers.

The rag tag remnants of the corporation were hired by SOM following the Corporate War to be used as fake pilots, in order to move the Machine's fleet back to the Old Conglomerate without being noticed. Disguised as Photon, the Machine rebuilt its fleet and took over the Beta Pindola Sector, destroying Lambda Corp and launching a full invasion of the Conglomerate.

Under the control of their newly appointed leader, Photon's most experienced member Jessica Dobson controlled the only Trade Station in the Conglomerate until finally, Star Omega decided to eliminate them as an intermediary.

Function
Photon Corporation's only goal was to gather wealth and secure its own assets.

Fleet
In the Wildlands, Photon grew to operate a fleet of 10 Hauler-H vessels and 3 Flyer-X's. In the Old Conglomerate, they controlled a defense fleet of 2 Ares-A destroyers and 5 Hornet-X's.
