Quantum Dynamics is the research house that kept long-horizon propulsion, field geometry, and nonlocal transit theory alive after most firms decided such work was too expensive, too speculative, or too politically dangerous.
Its prestige rises sharply in the final centuries of Sol when scarcity makes escape look more plausible than reform. By the time of FTL Trigger, Quantum Dynamics has become the intellectual spearpoint of a civilizational gamble it can no longer fully control.
