   * **Founding Year:** 2627
   * **Founder:** Gerhard Lentz — retired hydroponics engineer who swapped nutrient pumps for a copper mash-tun.
-  * **Headquarters:** Pilswerke Lava-Tube Brewery, [[Morningstar|Morningstar]]
+  * **Headquarters:** [[Pilswerk|Pilswerk]] (Pilswerke Brewery), [[Morningstar|Morningstar]]
   * **Original Purpose:** “To prove that true beer needs nothing but water, malt, and patience — even on an alien world.”
 From a single, hand-riveted kettle sunk into [[atrana_mountains|Atrana]] basalt, Pilswerke Inc. created [[Lebensfreude Lager|Lebensfreude Lager]], a crisp golden beer brewed under a fiercely purist, Reinheitsgebot. Only 25 kegs rolled out each quarter, and every drop was spoken for before fermentation finished. Tavern owners framed the spent keg badges like holy relics; black-market pints fetched 30 Kourou.
+Where [[space_drinks_inc|Space Drinks Inc.]]’s ubiquitous [[Space Beer|Space Beer]] slaked the frontier’s thirst by the barrel, Lebensfreude became its painstaking antithesis — the brew settlers bragged about tasting rather than drinking by the dozen.
