== Enceladus Corporation==
== Enceladus Corporation==
The Enceladus Corporation is the local government of the massive O'Neill cylinder station Enceladus Prime, which orbits the Saturnian moon of Enceladus. It holds an effective monopoly over all mining operations within the Saturnian system, as Enceladus is the only large moon close enough to the rings to support the logistical requirements of large-scale ring excavation. In 2184, it was the focal point of the First Enceladian Gold Rush after an asteroid impacted the then-in-construction station, revealing an abundance of rare elements within the A-Ring.

Nakamura Dynamics is the largest military contractor in the solar system, and started to offer a range of advanced technologies and surplus military equipment to the civilian market following the demilitarization of their fleet. In addition, they are the largest providers of advanced AI in the Saturnian system, and produce several high-profile products that are collaborations with or otherwise connected to other major companies.

|Autonomous Mining Drone
|Developed in a joint effort between Nakamura Dynamics and Titan Heavy Industries, the NT Mining Drone was an attempt by the two companies to develop a mining drone swarm to effectively automate the excavation of the rings of Saturn. The project failed as unsupervised drones developed social tendencies with other drones and reduced mining in their priorities. The project was abandoned, and many, but hardly all, of the drones were refitted and rebranded as the NT Mining Companion to be sold to independent contractors. The fallout of this project can still be encountered in the rings, with damaged drones huddled together as seen by passing ships, and reports of massive, extraordinary Locust Swarms that still lurk in the rings to this day, thankfully, without seemingly hostile intent.

|A semi-autonomous turret-mounted rapid-fire railgun system, underpowered compared to fixed mass driver systems but still able to put a significant amount of mass down range at a high speed. The weapon system's Class-1 AI performs all the calculations necessary for the system to operate effectively as a point defense system, and could theoretically operate fully autonomously, however, a human operator is required to pull the trigger to circumvent the Sofia Treaty on Sentient and Semi-Sentient Weaponry. The fact that the licensing for the weapon system is purchased through the Obonto Habitats may imply that the NDPT-4205 may have been an intended replacement for, or was replaced by, the Point Defence Microwave Generator on the Obonto Habitats.

Corporations of ΔV

The universe of ΔV: Rings of Saturn features various ships and equipment to outfit those ships. Each item at a captain's disposal is a product manufactured by the fictional corporations of the 23rd century. Some named companies only produce one or two mentioned products, while others are veritable titans within the rings of Saturn, brands that almost every captain knows and loves or hates.

This is a comprehensive list of all named corporations of ΔV: Rings of Saturn, and their products, sorted alphabetically.

Enceladus Corporation

The Enceladus Corporation is the local government of the massive O'Neill cylinder station Enceladus Prime, which orbits the Saturnian moon of Enceladus. It holds an effective monopoly over all mining operations within the Saturnian system, as Enceladus is the only large moon close enough to the rings to support the logistical requirements of large-scale ring excavation. In 2184, it was the focal point of the First Enceladian Gold Rush after an asteroid impacted the then-in-construction station, revealing an abundance of rare elements within the A-Ring.

While the corporation recognizes the need for policing in the A-Ring on account of pirate activity, it does not have an active military, nor a wish to field one. The rule of law is instead enforced through a weregild system, where compensatory fines are issued to individuals dependent on the severity of their transgressions. The Vilcy, an organized group of bounty hunters, have taken great interest in the system, and are the rings' de-facto police force.

Services offered on Enceladus Prime are private ventures granted authority to operate on the station by the Enceladus Corporation, in exchange for a controlling stake in the business in question.

Nakamura Dynamics is the largest military contractor in the solar system, and started to offer a range of advanced technologies and surplus military equipment to the civilian market following the demilitarization of their fleet. They are the largest providers of advanced AI in the Saturnian system, produce several high-profile products, and have collaborated with or are otherwise connected to other major companies.


Product Type Relevant Information Collaborators
MWG Microwave Emitter Microwave Emitter Microwave emitter technology developed by Nakamura. None
NT Mining Companion Autonomous Mining Drone Developed in a joint effort between Nakamura Dynamics and Titan Heavy Industries, the NT Mining Drone was an attempt by the two companies to develop a mining drone swarm to effectively automate the excavation of the rings of Saturn. The project failed as unsupervised drones developed social tendencies with other drones and reduced mining in their priorities. The project was abandoned, and many of the drones were refitted and rebranded as the NT Mining Companion to be sold to independent contractors. Titan Heavy Industries
NDPT-4205 point defence turret Mass Driver A semi-autonomous, turret-mounted, rapid-fire railgun system. Though underpowered compared to spinally mounted mass driver systems, the NDPT-4205 is still able to put a significant amount of mass down range at high speed. The weapon system's Class-1 AI performs all calculations necessary for the system to operate effectively as a point defense system, and could theoretically operate fully autonomously, however, a human operator is required to pull the trigger in order to circumvent the Sofia Treaty on Sentient and Semi-Sentient Weaponry. The licensing for the weapon system is purchased through the Obonto Habitats, who outfitted Obonto 2 (and possibly 1) with the NDPT-4205. None
Point Defence Microwave Generator Microwave Emitter A fully autonomous turreted microwave emitter system designed in cooperation with Obonto Microengineering. Their certification for defensive and mining uses circumvents the Sofia Treaty on Sentient and Semi-Sentient Weaponry, allowing them to remain fully autonomous, so long as they are under direct human supervision. Obonto has outfitted their Habitat stations with these systems. Obonto Microengineering
Military projectile magazine Ammunition Storage A demilitarized military-grade storage compartment for kinetic projectiles, including custom rail hardware for industrial mining ammunition and a stripped-down delivery system. None
Frigate-class projectile magazine Ammunition Storage A military-grade storage compartment for kinetic projectiles, typically mounted on frigates. Includes custom rail hardware for industrial mining ammunition and a delivery system. None
Destroyer-class projectile magazine Ammunition Storage A military-grade storage compartment for kinetic projectiles, typically installed on heavy point defense systems on destroyers. Includes custom rail hardware for industrial mining ammunition and a delivery system. None
Military nanodrone storage Nanodrone Component Storage A decommissioned military-grade storage module for disposable nanodrone components, capable of rapid delivery of selected parts to the drone assembly plant. None
Harvester-class nanodrone storage Nanodrone Component Storage An extensive nanodrone storage module designed for harvester ships, capable of rapid delivery of selected parts to the drone assembly plant. The second largest available nanodrone component storage. None
NDSTR thruster Reaction Control System Station-keeping thrusters of the Tsukuyomi-class, retrofitted for use aboard civilian craft as a reaction control system. None
NDVTT thruster Reaction Control System Specifically designed for use in civilian craft and based upon the NDSTR. None
ND-PNTR engine Main Propulsion A main propulsion torch that, despite its underwhelming power by today's standards, are still popular for their low price and maintenance overheads. Won "Torch of the Year 2251". None
ND-NTTR engine Main Propulsion The Tactical Thrusters of the Tsukuyomi-class, these thrusters that serve as a scaled-up RCS system on the frigates can serve as the main propulsion of most modern craft with a little bit of creative engineering. None
Nakamura Dynamics Yama-SSR12 Reactor Core Nakamura's liquid core reactor system. None
Nakamura Dynamics Yama-SSR16 Reactor Core A proprietary version of the SSR12 that serves as the standard reactor of Mitsudaya-Starbus' Prospector series of ships. None
Nakamura Dynamics Yama-SSR16S Reactor Core The aftermarket S variant of the SSR16 reactor core strips out the original safety systems to make more raw thermal power available. Only available after Racers point you to "their people" and lacking official retrofit kits, these probably void a warranty or five. Aftermarket Modifications
Military-grade Turbine Fission Powerplant A military-grade fission turbine powerplant, the heavy-duty turbine is designed to generate a huge amount of energy at the cost of a significant amount of propellant (compared to smaller fission turbine powerplants) to dispose of waste heat. None
NDAPS Auxiliary Power Storage A fairly basic Superconductive Magnetic Energy Storage system designed by Nakamura to store excess energy during periods of minimal power usage so that it may be used without overstressing powerplant systems during periods of prolonged peak power usage, such as during combat engagements and maneuvers. None
Nakamura MPU Mineral Processing Unit With a particular focus on mineral recovery, but still capable of remass reclamation, the Nakamura MPU is a middle ground between the slow but all-encompassing Rusatom-Antonoff MPU, and the finicky "efficiency first" natured Mitsudaya-Starbus MSU. Its use of microwave emitters to sublimate mineral chunks makes it fairly fast and efficient at its job, but requires a dedicated processing bay to perform processing, creating a bottleneck that can become jammed with mineral chunks and require intentional mass-shifting to clear. None
Voyager RSLS Fabrication Plant Mineral Processing Unit One of two major collaborations with Obonto Microengineering, the Voyager is the only currently available MPU units equipped with "rapid selective laser sintering" technology, using heat and pressure to partially melt, fuse, and reform processed mineral pellets into mass driver slugs or nanodrone components. A hybrid of the Nakamura MPU, with a particular focus on remass reclamation, and Obonto microgravity manufacturing technologies. Obonto Microengineering
NDCI Autopilot Autopilot A demilitarized, military-grade artificial neural-network autopilot, originally used in Tsukuyomi-class frigates. The autopilot comes standard in the Conlido RVM "Cothon" series ships , which were originally autonomous shuttles. None
ND-LIS Kitsune HUD HUD The standard HUD of Nakamura's ND-LIS Kitsune light shuttle. A significant amount of emphasis is placed on providing situational awareness to the operator, displaying all three zoom levels of the Visual Feed at once, and presenting a unique zoomed-in and zoomed-out LiDAR display. None
ND-LIS Kitsune Light Shuttle A light shuttlecraft designed to fit a support/transport role that was developed post-demilitarization of Nakamura's fleet for the civilian market. Their production cost unfortunately outweighed the shuttle's unique features, such as its variable geometry cargo bay and compact size, leading to the discontinuation of the line. None
