Urbanite Incorporated

Urbanite Incorporated is a massively popular equipment manufacturer, offering economic and functional equipment to mercenaries and providing a standard option to many security outfits. Their investment into creating discount plans and keeping in touch with many highly famous mercenaries lead to the standardidation across the known space. Their equipment focuses primarily on urban environments, but to be competetive against other companies, they also dabble into other environments.

A quote from a famous mercenary,

''It's something or another that you see veterans passing down their old urbanites to their colleages. That sort of culture just emerged naturally. Professionals would use it because when they were worn out, proof of having the equipment gave them a discount on the spot, even if they didn't buy it. Some people go out and just loot bodies, find old urbanite equipment and get the discount, and they wouldn't let you throw them out right there. They'd say give them the old tattered piece of leather so they can give it to a rookie or let them pass it down. It was genius because some kid would get this and know it and trust it and they'd come back for a new one. That's how I did it when I first started. Because of their prices and the quality, some companies make sure their new people have good gloves, they just buy urbanites for them because that's what they do. I've heard stories of Urbanite just giving away used equipment to whole squads that were desperately underequipped. That sort of behavior from a corporation is unheard of, because it shows they really care about their market, and if they have to spend a dime to make sure their market is in good condition, then they'll gain their loyalty.''
