The Ochoa-Brendyne Corporation (OcBrCo, OBC) is a large conglomerate corporation, focused mainly on solar and interstellar survey, exploration, and colonization. It is an offshoot of the ill-fated 1960s etheric spacecraft research projects funded by the Family Institute, and is widely portrayed as a nest of kooks and con-men. Their main offices are located in Bogotá (Earth), The Sea of Serenity (Luna), and in orbit around the moon Titan (Saturn).
From the mid-1980s through the early 1990s, Ochoa-Brendyne were one of the main recipients of funding under the Wilkins Plan, a U.S. government program supporting independent interstellar research initiatives. They were shut down in 1993 following a corruption suit that saw a bulk of their executives arrested, but re-established in 2001, and have since become one of the most important survey and exploration companies in the world.
