The Hephaestus Mining Company, commonly referred to as Hephaestos, is a mining corporation based on the volcanic planet Hephaestus, the closest planet to Halcyon's sun.
Background[]
Hephaestus Mining Company established a mining operation on Scylla around three years after the Hope was classified as missing. The outpost was abandoned after a year,[1] with some mining equipment being left behind,[2]as the venture proved to be less profitable than was expected.[3]
The company was the first to establish outposts on the planet Hephaestus, allowing it to claim its ownership.[4] Prior to its establishment on Hephaestus, the company also had a base of operations on Terra 1[5] Employees of Hephaestos Mining Company were not allowed to use company terminals for leisure activities (it was considered "Time Theft") and personal messages could only be sent with a supervisors permission.[6][7]
Most of the armor worn by marauders and Iconoclasts was originally produced by the Hephaestus Mining Company.
Hephaestos sponsors a tossball team, the Hephaestos Hammers
