On the theory that most of the characters in my next game will be
recently-mustered-out Imperial veterans, I'm setting up Trexalon (run by the
Trexalon Technical Consortium) as a Bad Guy.  IMTU, it's militarizing it's
whole society, in an effort to fight Imperial expansion into District
268.  Heck, going from the other thread, I may even have it trying
to implement significant nanotech.

Down the road - maybe some time after successfully inflicting a "gray goo"
incident upon the TTC per an Imperial "shadowrun" - I'll let the players
find out that (a generation back, before everyone there became obsessed with
"the Imperial threat"), Trexalon was a thriving democracy . . .
