Next up is Wipeout Pure with Triakis and Harimau. Just a few more teams to go.

Triakis-tan AKA Triakis Industries

Est. 2132

Triakis was formed in 2132 as a result of a merger of three small arms companies: Advanced Targeting Systems Ltd., Kramer Ordnance, and Incendiary Projectile Supplies Inc. In the mid-22nd century, Triakis became the leader in military hardware to defense forces all around the world, during the 2170s depression. When most of these conflicts ended, Triakis focused on civilian reconstruction projects, but it was slowly declining due to the lack of demand of her hardware. When amateur AG racing was on the rise, Triakis finally have something to supply without a major conflict. She gains a desire to see a Triakis AG factory craft in the FX150 events. Triakis pressured the commission to establish a professional competition, which led the FX300 league into development. Triakis was dominating the FX300 with ease and became the 2206 champions. But, she was later disqualified for using the reverse-inertia deceleration system, which made the craft go through corners quickly than everyone else. The 2206 title was later awarded to 2nd placed AG Systems. Wanting to forget that controversial loss, Triakis enters the FX350/400 events. By partnering with Assegai and exchanging her shield technology with handling, her ship became more agile and is ready to reclaim her position at the front of the pack once more.

Personality: Triakis-tan is friendly, strong-willed, tends to look on the bright side of things, and determine to win. But, she is very weird, high strung, not very smart, and paranoid. She has friendly rivalry with Harimau-tan. She is friends with Assegai-tan, Qirex-tan, Goteki 45-tan.

Harimau-tan AKA Harimau International

Est. 2177

Harimau was founded in 2177 as a humanitarian group. She aided the recovery of the Asian regions during the depression of the 2170s. Expanding out with the borders of her home country, Malaysia, during the 2180s, she started her worldwide program and contributed to regeneration projects around the world. When anti-gravity racing was using zero emission, Harimau decided to compete in the FX300 Racing League. She promoted an environmentally friendly message on a worldwide stage. It was unknown if it was an effort to circulate the message or a publicity stunt. Rumor has it that Harimau and Triakis have developed a rivalry due to having opposite backgrounds and different views. Harimau was doing rather well against the veteran teams, dispite having no AG racing experience. Unfortunately, she withdraws from the League to focus on a project, to repopulate suitable parts of the world with genetically engineered tigers. Whether or not if it was another publicity stunt or a valiant effort to re-introduce a species that was extinct for a century and a half, is not clear. This fueled her desire to enter the FX400 League late. She uses another bio-fuel powered ship that performs better than the previous ship. Even if Harimau fails to reach the lofty heights of the major teams, she is still satisfied knowing her efforts can help produce a better, cleaner world.
