TranStar

TranStar Industries is a powerful and influential corporation particularly central to the events in Prey (2017) and Prey: Mooncrash. The company is a multi-faceted conglomerate that operates in various sectors, including aerospace, biotechnology, and military technology. TranStar is best known for its pioneering work in space exploration and the development of advanced technology, especially its role in the creation of the Talos I space station and the Pytheas moonbase.

At the core of TranStar's operations is its involvement with the mysterious alien species known as the Typhon. The corporation has been conducting secretive and unethical experiments involving the Typhon, aiming to exploit their abilities for military and commercial purposes. TranStar's greed and ambition lead them to experiment on both the station's crew and the Typhon themselves, leading to disastrous consequences, including the outbreak of the Typhon infestation on Talos I.

The corporation is portrayed as a symbol of unchecked corporate power, motivated by profit at any cost, including the welfare of its employees and the safety of humanity. Throughout Prey, TranStar is depicted as a morally ambiguous entity, with its leaders and staff often willing to overlook ethical considerations in pursuit of technological breakthroughs and financial gain.

History[]

TranStar was founded in 2025. In that same year, the corporation purchased and privatized the Kletka space station and, by 2030, refitted it as Talos I.

Most of the company board of directors has taken measures to be anonymous, with rumours circulating that some members are over one hundred years old thanks to technology like neuromods. However, two of the board members are publicly known - William and Catherine Yu - who serve as the face of the company.
