Ostmetall Industrial Group

A new, state-owned East German industrial agent created as a primary provider of metals and metallurgy products and under the direct oversight of the Reichkommissariat für die Wirtschaft (Commissariat for Economy), it is intended to rival the  Western giant Rheinmetall. The OIG is based in the state of Saxony in the south-east of the nation and is responsible for the orbital facilities program. This programs explores the concept of building and maintaining a network of industrial and scientific space stations, which aims to both put the industry out of the reach of the BETA and to experiment with Zero-G manufacturing techniques and alloys. Ostmetall also produces weapons systems and alloys for the Junkers Design Bureau.
