 The KGM’s rise was fueled by both necessity and innovation, supplying settlers with practical, durable garments suited for the harsh frontier environment of VOI 700 D. Its fabrics became the standard for ExoHuman settlers, and its success led to expansion into agricultural production, particularly the cultivation of [[hekana|Hekana]] ("Alien Cotton") in the [[Hope|Hope Region.]]

 The KGM was officially shut down, and its operations were transferred to the Federal Garment Manufactory (FGM), which remains the sole textile provider in the Gamma Age.

+  * "**The Factory Riots" –** Unhappy workers at KGM demand better conditions. Players must prevent a strike — or help expose corruption.
