The client
With decades of progressive development, the IDC is the industry leader in aerospace infrastructure management. It now seeks reliable partnerships to support the ongoing evolution and establishment of humanity’s presence in the solar system.
The IDC grew out of the private aerospace firms that built and supplied Earth's first permanent lunar bases. Consolidating them under one charter turned a scattered industry into a single operator with the capacity to work off-world.
Profitable lunar mining, refuelling services, and a spotless safety record made the corporation the recognised authority on off-world infrastructure development: habitats, energy, transport, and the logistics that hold them together.
Proof-of-concept landings confirmed what the models predicted: Mars could be worked, and eventually inhabited. The IDC began drafting the requirements for a permanent settlement on this distant world.
The IDC opens the contract to competing firms. Design a colony for 500 permanent residents and up to 150 transient guests (650 people in total) that is self-sufficient, defensible, and commercially viable within a 10 years time frame.
The emblem
Earth, a departure, an orbital sweep, and Mars. The corporation’s whole thesis in one mark: humanity leaving home and advancing toward the next world.
The globe turned to Southeast Asia, with Malaysia picked out in mission orange. The programme has a home, and this is it.
One continuous arc wrapping the planet and carrying outward. The route, and the momentum behind it.
Caught mid-climb at the top of the arc, because the corporation defines itself by the crossing, not the arrival.
The orange disc the rocket is aimed at, held clear of the globe. The destination the whole mark points to.
The corporation's full requirements are issued directly to registered teams.
