History
Lambda was founded in 2220, on Earth, by Isabella Rossi. Lambda managed to gain some investement to work with the U.S. military in 2221, creating the modern Plasma Rifles. This earned the newly formed company the reputation it needed to thrive. During the 5 years that followed, Lambda would become a big research and development industry, working with the State and private bodies to improve products. One of these products was the EV-1 Android, developed in 2223.

Lambda Corp continued to thrive under the command of Isabella until her premature death in 2229, being replaced by a young man named Michael Davis, who climbed the corporate ladder rather quickly. However, his focus on developing artificial intelligence made him neglect most other priorities and led to Lambda losing a good portion of its profits over the time that followed.

A chance came in 2230 when the newly formed TEF prepared to set sail into the newly discovered Conglomerate. Lambda took advantage of this situation to use its remaining economic power to convince TEF to allow it to travel with them and help colonize Wild Space.

In only a few months, Lambda and TEF established the Gatopea-Beta Pindola trade route, and Lambda began mass producing Pindolan Ale to profit. Leaving its assets on Earth to fade to oblivion, Lambda was reborn and continued to thrive in Wild Space,

However, Davis still wanted to develop AI technology, and built a small scientific outpost in the fringes of Beta Pindola to help with the research. In this outpost, under the Star Omega Project, IQ was created and escaped through a pirate invasion.

Lambda was almost wiped out by 2236 when it created Etherus, a new AI to help control the fleets and defend its assets from Star Omega. When the Machine Realm fell, Lambda almost completely rebuilt its assets and balance was restored, until the remnants of Star Omega, disguised as Photon Corporation, took over Beta Pindola, killing Davis while destroying the Trade Station, and colonizing the sector.

Lambda Corp never recovered, and vanished.

Economy
Lambda profited from the Gatopea-Beta Pindola trade route, trading with TEF, producing Pindolan Ale and jewelery and buying Plasma Rifles, Hover Bikes and rations.

Military
Lambda's military consisted of 3 thunder-A ships, 1 Overlord-A, 1 Magnus-A, 2 Ares-A and several fighters.

Functions
Lambda's only goal was to profit and protect its own assets through trading.
