PTMC stands for P'kun Trading and Manufacturing Corporation. It was created from the merger of several family businesses in the city of Ironrift on P'kun. The focus of the businesses was the mining and processing of iron and other metals that were mined in and around Ironrift. With the Interchunk Exchange, the PTMC joined the emerging CCP and became part of it. The PTMC operates far beyond the borders of P'kun, but only appears on P'kun itself under the name of the PTMC. Although it is part of the CCP like almost all companies in P'kun, it is often in tough competition with them. The corporate troops consist mostly of R.E.D. forces.
