Telum

Rising from the ashes of the old world, Telum has successfully transitioned into the new era. Once a leading arms manufacturer, this corporation paradoxically rebranded itself as a beacon of peace amidst a devastated world. They did this by providing necessities like food and medicine to the afflicted and by arming civilians with revolutionary next-generation weaponry. This allowed citizens to topple oppressive governments and terminate the enduring conflict. Telum is renowned for orchestrating the monumental event known as "The Lowering of the Flags". This signaled the end of the old world order based on nations, giving way to a new world led by corporate entities. They undertook the colossal task of reorganizing and reconstructing a world in shambles. However, Telum was not without its iron fist. Those who opposed their absolute rule were swiftly and ruthlessly suppressed, labeled as terrorists. The corporation consolidated its authority by publicly annihilating the very military weapons that had once fueled the war. Soon after, they introduced the first generation of Digital Avatars of Destruction (DADs). In a world teetering on the brink of chaos, these machines represented the last bastion of order. These formidable DADs were offered as rewards to cities swearing allegiance while serving as a warning for those daring to challenge the new order. Franz Telum, the company's President, assumed the role of a sovereign emperor, ruling a desolate world. He personified authority, while his remarkable longevity sparked many speculations about potential biotechnological advancements within Telum's laboratories. The supremacy of Telum wasn't unchallenged, however. After almost two decades, the rise of the Invictus revolutionary movement and, later, the Machina project posed significant threats, eventually leading to the present tripartite conflict. In response, Telum evolved their early DADs, fortifying them with innovative energy shields and super-powerful cannons, staying a formidable force in this complex battle for control.
