NUCALORIC
NuCaloric Agricultural presents itself as the faction that exists to feed, clothe, and supply humanity with its most basic needs. As major stakeholders in the original colony, their contracts focus on exploration, resource gathering, and uncovering what happened to the Marathon expedition over a century ago. NuCaloric rewards Runners who understand routes, positioning, and terrain — the kind of advantages that win fights before they start.
NuCaloric’s handler, Gaius, frames the corporation as a caretaker, but their true motives run deeper than agriculture. Their contracts consistently push Runners toward investigation and lost records, suggesting NuCaloric knows something about the colony’s failure that they aren’t sharing freely. On a planet where moving smart is survival, NuCaloric rewards adaptability over dominance — they don’t want to control Tau Ceti IV, they want to move through it better than anyone else.
