The first two are expert weapon manufacturers while Tanmop specializes in high-precision instruments: sensors, radars, sightings, visors, etc. (most of what they produce has military applications). All three corps are ancient and get along rather well with each-other, although there are occasional disputes and trade conflicts but this is seen as a virtue of business rather than a problem. There is no industrial espionage in Biloxan as the Elgan culture is one of sharing and communal work. | ||
The name of the district comes from an old prank where, hundreds of years ago when the infrastructure of the district was built and the district had to be formally open, the aides in charge of writing the opening speech decided they didn't like the name proposed for the district (nobody knows anymore what that was). They wrote down Techdustry in the speech's notes as short for Technological-Industrial district, with the intention of changing it later before the final draft. One of the aides found the name terribly funny though and decided that they should play a prank on the minister reading the speech and left the name as Techdustry, hoping it would cause some chuckles when read aloud in front of all the city officials and investors. Somehow, the name stuck. | The name of the district comes from an old prank where, hundreds of years ago when the infrastructure of the district was built and the district had to be formally open, the aides in charge of writing the opening speech decided they didn't like the name proposed for the district (nobody knows anymore what that was).
