History
CTR was formed around the end of the 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. On 2944-02-09, representatives of the Jysho Corporation came to the city of Aydo on Green to open the first CTR in the UEE, the first time a wholly Xi'an corporation had opened a business on a Human planet. CTR has since gradually gained market share in Human space.
CTR locations follow the layout of Xi'an ship design, with a clean organic appearance and distinct spindles and ribs for different service options. The company hires Human customer service agents but often imports Xi'an technicians for installation work, which can create a language barrier for captains seeking to deal directly with those repairing their ships.
Trivia
- In a study, researchers found a 23% improvement over Human companies in repair speed, with very little difference in quality.
- Many Humans are familiar with CTR's energetic commercial jingle: "SEE TEE ARE! SEE TEE ARE! NAHH NAHH NOOOORB!" Meaningless in any language, including Xi'an, the song and its accompanying commercial have established CTR's presence in the mind of a younger generation that has fewer reservations about equipping their ship through an alien company.
