The Consortium is an umbrella corporation with many subsidiaries. These subsidiaries have different brand names to distiguish themselves to the consumers but all money trickles up to the Consortium. Most brands sell to specific classes and races to target their advertising and to avoid competition - no matter how artificial.

Technology
Most tech brands simply provide the R&D in order to advance technology. They sell individual licenses to engineer the schematics. Any proprietary components are outsourced to the Artificer class within the Hyla jungle and sold at a hefty mark-up within human/Khor territories and common ground.

Pharmaceutical
Pharmaceutical subsidiaries operate very much like the technology R&D firms. In lieu of schematics the chemists sell formulae for designer drugs designed to increase (and decrease) the attributes of combatants. Chemical engineers utilize these formulae to replicate the pharma for use or sale in the marketplace.
