Military: War
Weyland-Yutani and Hyperdyne Systems begin competitive Frontier expansion efforts. Hyperdyne cuts corners in the Hyades Cluster to come out ahead, leaving their colonists without support or supplies for extended periods. The colonies of the Hyades Cluster revolt against corporate control and join the UPP. Hyperdyne petitions the USCMC to intervene. In the wake of the fiasco, Hyperdyne is bought out by Weyland-Yutani.
