The Eos Corporation was founded in the Terra system in the late 2800s as a small production company. In the decades since Eos has evolved substantially. From a small factory in the lower levels of a spire in New Austin to the Interstellar Trade Concern it is today. Competitors continued to gain market share with products focusing on delivering cheap commodities while Eos was delivering richly engineered, but expensive, products and services. Eos relied on high profit margins and never developed a clear response to these markets.
