Motto: //"Chances are, Zero is in your binary data!"//

The Zero Corporation was originally formed by the IO Protocol from separate units and systems, but also features a large number of smaller corporations of various nationalities which were purchased, restructured and reassigned to serve in the greater scheme of the new company.

Often joked to be the largest supplier of the zero's in binary data, in actuality the Zero Corporation is more accurately described as one of the largest data-mining corporations in the galaxy, its primary focus being on gathering raw data and providing it with a basic structure for further processing.

Example applications created by the company include operating systems for sensor devices, software to track behaviour and general purpose holonet forms. As a general rule, if a device gathers data, Zero either produced the software or has a competing product that could have been used instead.

Notably though the Zero Corporation has employees of many different nationalities and races, it does not offer office space to its employees who can instead work from anywhere where there is a proper holonet uplink.


===== Stock =====
