- TMI slogan

Tokzhalan Military Industries (TMI), officially a subsidiary of Tokzhalan Technology, is a corporation with features of a private military organisation that began operating in the at the beginning of the third era of the. Their main products are "multipurpose polymorphic drones" and a variety of software that can be installed into the drones to "enable them to reach their full potential in all aspects of society". TMI is named after, and themed around, the historical, who were previously known in the galaxy from stories told by the.

Origins
According to their offical website, TMI was founded by a individuals from a remote colony of the Human Republic, "at the edge of the ", that was subject to a battle between Tokzhalan forces and the during the. Above a small village on the western continent, a Tokzhalan drone was seen to destroy an entire squadron of DCP starfighters before its shields were finally overwhelmed and it was brought to the ground by a final desperate volley of ion missiles.

The website continues: "Impressed by the drone's ability to defeat such powerful foes, the villagers quickly scrambled to the crash site and noticed wounds in its armour that were rapidly healing. In a spur-of-the-moment move, the men grabbed their laser rifles and burnt the damaged edges of the mighty beast's hide, buying a few more precious seconds to tear out its nanomechanical guts."

The next few years were spent reverse-engineering the advanced technology recovered from the drone. When the third phase of the came around, the colony was once more under attack. Republic authorities gave the colonists an opportunity to move to the megastructures of, but deciding that they had a greater purpose in the universe, the villagers fled using a prototype intergalactic starship made from the Tokzhalan drone's remains.

Ending up in the Borealis Galaxy, they founded Tokzhalan Technology, intending to bring their "miraculous, galaxy-changing discoveries" to "those in the galaxy who need it - and, of course, can afford it".

The new "War Economy" that took over Borealis during the concurrent period of galactic war provided the impetus for Tokzhalan Technology to focus on its military software branch, Tokzhalan Military Industries, and also to begin marketing its services across the galaxy.
