Colossus Technologies (Player corporation)
Colossus Technologies was formed as an EVE online corporation during the beta testing stages of EVE. They were originally known by the ticker [CT], but this was modified when EVE launched, becoming [CTEC].
History
They are the oldest corporation within EVE since launch. This comes from a quote from an old developer blog by Oveur:
"First 10 Corporations
Colossus Technologies, Rebirth Inc, AdGen, PIE Inc., Ltd. Nihilism, New Birmingham Technologies UK, Critical Mass Enterprises, LoneStar Industries, The Firm, Taggart Transdimensional
First 10 Corporations (and still alive today)
Colossus Technologies, AdGen, PIE Inc., Ltd. Nihilism, New Birmingham Technologies UK, Critical Mass Enterprises, LoneStar Industries, Taggart Transdimensional, British Space Corporation, m0o Corp"
[CTEC] was one of the founding members of Xetic Federation who were, at one time, the largest alliance within EVE.
Colossus Technologies was originally founded by Night, and is now run by 3names.
