Trans-Planetary Mining

 was a mining company that intended to mine Planet Z02-80535. It sent a survey team, led by James Sands, to investigate the planet for sentient life. The survey team, believing there was no sentient life, sent a report to TPM. A mining team was sent to the planet and began strip mining, but the Builders, the sentient natives, destroyed the survey team and the mining team. (PROSE: Primitives)
