ComTek

ComTek is a large communications corporation with operations in Steam City, Irontown, Danbury, and elsewhere. Its principal product is the Chippy, a mass market sending stone-like device capable of tasks like messaging and scheduling. ComTek's CEO is Pyotr Steele.

Operations
ComTek is a subsidiary of Modern Living, a holding company with interests in technology, resource extraction, housing, and employment. (Unless anyone feels like complicating things, this wiki will treat ComTek and Modern Living as a single entity.) ComTek has factories outside of Steam City and Irontown. Modern Living owns the mines outside of Irontown and one of the seats on the Irontown city council (and may have an influence over Fen Barrelbrun's Workers' Association).

Technology & Resource Extraction
ComTek produces Chippies in massive factories outside of Steam City, Irontown, and Danbury using resources extracted from its mining operations in Irontown and presumably elsewhere.

Housing & Employment
Chad noted that many newly-graduated Steam City University students advocate something called "communalism," describing it as a "modern way of living." This bears further investigation.

Irontown Gigafactory
ComTek's Irontown Gigafactory currently lies dormant after having been ravaged by an outbreak of cannibal gnomes. During its initial period of activity it drew from the resources extracted from the mines to produce Chippies, employing many Irontown residents (and offering them specially discounted Chippies as hiring bonuses). It also operated as a base for Crankenstein's biological research and as an interplanar access point to ComTek's Human Resources and Procurement facilities.

Research & Development

Crankenstein established a lab underneath the Irontown Gigafactory in order to create a Huge Anthropophagic Gnome. An unknown event unleased the H.A.G. resulting in worker deaths and the closure of the lab.

Human Resources

ComTek's Human Resources Department is apparently located in hell and was overseen until recently by a comically evil VP named Adam Smith-Devil. An interplanar portal connected the Irontown Gigafactory to HR via magical elevator.

Procurement

ComTek centralizes all of its fixed capital in a massive maze-like pocket dimension that was apparently destroyed after an outbreak of transmutoplasm. Procurement was inexplicably staffed by modrons.
