NuCaloric

Essentially, Everywhere

NuCaloric Agricultural's mix of social utility and ruthless optimization transformed NuCaloric into the dominant provider of basic consumer goods in Sol.

NuCaloric was one of the original sponsors of the UESC Marathon expedition, making the fate of the New Cascadia colonists of particular interest to them.
