Ulsop Robotics

Overview
Ulsop Robotics was one of the top ten major corporations of the Star League and one of the League's foremost producers of advanced Robots. With its headquarters located in Grey Valley City, Zebebelgenubi, the company was created in 2387 when it broke away from its parent corporation, with regional offices on Terra, Murchison and Tharkad.[1]
Ulsop first broke into the business producing assembly-line robots, quality machines which could last for decades without maintenance. This allowed their expansion into other areas of robotics, first with the unsuccessful test flight of the Bright Star Automated Scout JumpShip in 2545, then with the successful creation of the Guardian line of security guard robots. Efforts at creating combat robots proved dismal, in part because trained soldiers could outperform them in battle.[1]
It was Ulsop Robotics, in one of their greatest achievements, which designed the artificial intelligence used to control the ground-based weapons of the Space Defense System. Unfortunately, the company would not survive the collapse of the Star League and subsequent Succession Wars. What few scraps of technology which did fell into the hands of the Lyran Commonwealth.[1]
Leadership
Ulsop Robotics was not ruled by one family; instead an Chief Executive Officer was elected to head the corporation.[1]
Manufacturing
No known manufacturing centers are known to have survived the company.
