From the Fires of Prometheus, to the battlefields of New Prometheus. Dragon Technologies strives to bring the best in weapons and armor to the people who need it most - the common soldier
History
Dragon Technologies is the development arm of Dragon Enterprises, a multiverse trading and development company that has recently begun selling goods and services throughout the Three Galaxies and which has begun to encroach on the traditional Splugorth areas of sales. Operated from a mobile pocket dimension that is hidden from the rest of the multiverse via massively complex magicks, DT is considered a threat by the mostly evil conglomerates that it is now putting under pressure. It's equipment, while being oddly unique, is more reliable, cheaper, and immensely more popular than other, more traditional weapon systems.
Dragon Technologies operates five offices on Level 4-A, and one on 4-B. Because of their apparent alliance with Naruni, it has been assumed by some that DT is in fact a subsidiary of Naruni Enteprises. But, when the two are in direct competiton, all manner of conflict can erupt. The most famouss was the Year of Flares.
This event, which occured fifty-three years ago, began when one of DT's offices was destroyed by a small but very potent explosion. It was proven, rather quickly, that a Naruni device had caused the destruction, and a Naruni office vanished in a blinding flare of light the next day. This caused no end of consternation for the Prometheans, who considered banning both companies from trading on Phase World. Within a week, hostilites had apparently died down, but every month or so, one or another building on level 4A would be destroyed, first a DT building, then, in retaliation, a Naruni building. Eactly one year to the day, both a DT and a Naruni building simply vanished, in a blinding flare of energy that showered tiny ashes all over the level. After this event, both companies called a truce, and returned to their normal trading practices, apparently not at all concerned over the proprty, equipment, and manower lost during the conflict.
The only thing that keeps Naruni and DT from engaging in an all-out war, is the fact that their weapon systems are compatible. DT ammo will fit Naruni weapons, and Naruni ammo will fit DT weapons. This enables both companies to make huge profits by selling to the same, or opposite sides in a war. Neither will lose out, because a buyer can choose whichever company he wishes, and still get stock, ammunition, and other supplies that fit either company's equipment.
The reason behind the compatability is that both companies have formed a loose alliance that ensures each company owns a portion of the other. Naruni gets a share of the unique and unusual weapon systems DT can produce, and DT gets access to Naruni's latest designs to seewhether any oddball ideas can be based on them. Naruni seems to benefit more than DT in this alliance because DT is willing to develop and test completely insane weapon designs that no normal weapons manufacturer would dream of - and makes them work. Most of these weapon designs are based, in part, on proven Naruni designs, ensuring interest in Naruni is kept high even when using DT equipment.
