GlobalTech

A pre-Fall major international megacorp. Their products included weaponry. Like many major companies they boosted sales by buying up smaller companies and selling cheap knock-offs of popular products.

LifeNet was once a subsidiary of GlobalTech; they set up things called “regen pods” all over the Province, each of which can clone people, animals, and all kinds of other stuff. In the days right after the Fall, folks used them to make supplies, which explains why a lot of towns are built near pods. Unfortunately, not many people know how to use them these days, and if you screw around with them, you can cause all sorts of catastrophes, such as creating “diggers” or “infected” - half-formed clones that want to eat people.[1]
