Scoria Works

number	49
name	Scoria Works
full legal name	Scoria Works Heavy Fabrication Corponation
common names	Scoria The Works Slag's Rival SWHF
stock designation	SCRW
sector	Heavy Industrial Fabrication & Structural Manufacturing
valuation	Φ670 billion
revenue	Φ88 billion annually
employees	67000
sovereign territory	The Crucible Belt — a 14-kilometer industrial strip along the Gary, Indiana lakefront comprising eleven foundry complexes, two deepwater fabrication docks, and a company town of approximately 40,000 residents called Pour, whose population is almost entirely Scoria employees and their families
founding story	Scoria Works was founded in 2129 by a worker-led buyout of the collapsed Meridian Heavy Industries conglomerate, structured as a corponation under the 2127 GLMZ Labor Sovereignty Act — one of the few entities in the corridor that began as a genuinely worker-owned enterprise. Over fifteen years, equity concentration has shifted dramatically; original worker-shareholders now hold approximately 12% of voting stock, with the remainder absorbed by investment blocs. The transition is a source of deep institutional resentment that manifests in recurring wildcat strikes.
security force	The Forge Guard — 8,400 personnel, the largest security force of any non-defense corponation in the corridor by headcount. The Forge Guard doubles as a de facto municipal police force for the company town of Pour, a jurisdictional arrangement that human rights observers have flagged repeatedly. Armed with industrial suppression equipment alongside conventional weapons.
key detail	Scoria Works fabricates the structural components for approximately 60% of all new construction in the GLMZ corridor, including the load-bearing superstructure of Palladian Construction's last four major projects. Despite this market dominance, Scoria's margins are thin due to aggressive undercutting by Slagworks Industrial, their primary competitor, resulting in a price war that has lasted six years and shown no signs of resolution.
relationship to big 20	Not Big 20, but Palladian Construction's dependence on Scoria supply chains gives Scoria significant indirect leverage in Big 20 infrastructure negotiations. Scoria and Slagworks Industrial are in active commercial warfare — the two corponations have filed a combined 340 litigation actions against each other since 2143 and have had at least three violent confrontations between their respective security forces in contested fabrication zones.
full text	Scoria Works Heavy Fabrication Corponation — stock designation SCRW, known as Scoria, The Works, or disparagingly as Slag's Rival — occupies the Crucible Belt, a 14-kilometer industrial strip along the Gary, Indiana lakefront comprising eleven foundry complexes, two deepwater fabrication docks, and the company town of Pour, home to 40,000 residents who are almost entirely Scoria employees and their dependents. Founded in 2129 through a worker-led buyout of the collapsed Meridian Heavy Industries conglomerate and structured under the 2127 GLMZ Labor Sovereignty Act, Scoria is one of the corridor's few corporate entities with genuine worker-ownership origins. That origin is now largely historical: fifteen years of equity drift have reduced original worker-shareholders to approximately 12% of voting stock, a compression that fuels recurring wildcat strikes and a low-grade institutional fury that management has never successfully neutralized. With 67,000 employees, Scoria is one of the corridor's largest employers, and its Forge Guard security force — 8,400 personnel — is the biggest non-defense security operation in GLMZ, functioning simultaneously as factory security and the de facto police force of Pour, an arrangement that draws consistent condemnation from human rights monitoring bodies. Scoria fabricates the structural components for roughly 60% of all new corridor construction, including the superstructure of Palladian Construction's last four major projects, yet its margins remain thin due to a six-year price war with Slagworks Industrial that has produced 340 combined litigation filings and at least three violent clashes between security forces in disputed fabrication zones. Despite a Φ670 billion valuation and Φ88 billion in annual revenue, Scoria's future is perpetually uncertain — dominant in output, precarious in profit, and politically combustible from within.
