Alterra Corporation

The Alterra Corporation, or simply Alterra, is a Trans-Gov that funded the Aurora's mission to construct a phasegate in the Ariadne Arm. It also appears to be the manufacturer of many machines and tools in-game, as its logo is on many of them.

As stated in several PDA downloads, they appear to be a democratic corporation, with a president. They however do not have a military force, with the exception of the police force, and also it is illegal to own weapons, again with the exception to the police force. The survival knife is the only exception to other individuals. They however are the top supplier to the Trans-System Federation.

Oddly, when surviving alone on alien worlds, survivors are expected to pay the full market price if Alterra claims the planet's resources as their property. The bill can reach from millions to even one trillion credits, as was the case with Ryley Robinson.
