CTR

CTR is a franchise of stations offering refueling and repair services owned by the Xi'an company Jysho Corporation. It is the one of the first fully Xi'an-owned businesses to open and operate in UEE space. It has a large presence in the Xi'an Empire and UEE systems close to the Perry Line. Since Xi'an culture prides itself on efficiency, and repair operations conducted by CTR are very efficent compared to its Human counterparts.

History
CTR was formed around the end of 29th century, it enjoyed a steady rise to prominence within the Xi'an Empire by providing fuel and repair services at affordable prices, eventually becoming one of the most trusted providers to the Xi'an civilian population.

In February of 2944, the UEE Senate granted Jysho Corporation a business certificate to open franchises in the UEE. In 2944-02-09, the representatives of the Jysho Corporation came to the city of Aydo on Green to open first CTR in the UEE, which is also the first time a wholly-Xi'an corporation has opened a business on a Human planet. Over the years CTR has slowly been gaining market share in the Human space.

Trivia

 * In a study, researchers found a 23% improvement over Human companies in terms of repair speed, with very little differential in terms of quality.
 * A lot of humans are familar with CTR's bizarre, energetic commercial jingle: “SEE TEE ARE! SEE TEE ARE! NAHH NAHH NOOOORB!” Utterly meaningless in any language (Xi'an included), the song and its accompanying commercial have cemented CTR's presence in the mind of a younger generation that already has fewer issues equipping their ship via an alien company.
