Many of the megacorporations of Earth have a hard time conducting business with the inner system due to the extensive and arguably Byzantine regulations and restrictions imposed by the CSA on interplanetary trade. PicoMotion is the largest and most powerful of the handful that make the effort, and for most citizens outside of the Terran State represents the best and most direct way of accessing exports from Asphodel and the cradle of humanity.

PicoMotion's interests lie mainly in research and development, although they maintain good relations with a number of asteroid mining dynasties to provide their raw materials. Their reputation was marred in the aftermath of the Yonaguni disaster, as they were a primary contractor for the dome construction, but ultimately - via bribes, argue some - they emerged without sanctions or fines from the CSA.
