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 along with [[X-Traders] and Eclipse Tek Inc, the latter of which merged into [CTEC] before the game launched. By the time that alliances were formally introduced into EVE, Hegemonic Core had been brought into the XETIC fold. XETIC were, at one time, the largest alliance within the EVE universe, however this has since been surpassed as alliances come and go.

Colossus Technologies was originally founded by Night, and is now run by 3names.
