Background / History
Sui Yang built Atlas from a plantation near Seattle and a security force led by his adopted son Arthur Morgan. He formally established the corporation in 1914, then expanded it through arms, medicine, transportation, communications, and consumer products 1 2. By May 30, 1993, its assets exceeded $100 billion, fulfilling the condition Sui Yang had been given for opening a passage to other worlds 2.
Atlas’s security force developed into the Atlas Rapid Response Force (ARS). Its six companies included infantry, armor, aviation, and the elite First Company, known internally as the Hunter Company 9. After the first Space Gate opened, Atlas established bases beyond its original universe and used recovered technology to accelerate its research and manufacturing 19 58. Its expansion eventually became the foundation of the Imperium of Man 352 359.
