Interplanetary Mining Corporation
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Interplanetary Mining Corporation or IMC is an Earth-based mining corporation.
By the 25th century, the Earth, with its population expanding, was desperate for the mineral duralinium used in the construction of residential complexes. With such a demand comes a tight schedule and a very motivated desire for profit, the company’s methods became ruthless with those in the field willing to do anything to secure a planet for mineral exploitation. In 2472, a mineral survey team commanded by captain Dent attempted to drive a colony of humans from the planet Uxarieus, using a faked monster backed by intimation an murder. They were ultimately thwarted with the help of the Doctor and Jo. (DW: Colony in Space)
