 ===== Notable Products =====
   * **Farming Equipment** - Victor-Marshall's entry into the market was with reliable farming and agriculture equipment, marketed and sold to Caledonia and then throughout the rest of the Aleph Cluster.
     * **Tractors** - Reliable, heavy, possessing a top speed of about thirty kilometres, and enough torque to pull out the most heavily rooted of treestumps, these tough vehicles are a farmer's delight. They can mount a variety of modules behind them to thresh, cut, till, or hoe their land. After popular demand from less agricultural portions of VM's fanbase, their tractors can even be fitted with nitrous for ... extreme farming.

     * **ATV** - A four-wheeled all terrain vehicle intended for farmers to get from one end of the paddock to the other quickly and securely, these hardy little things are capable of towing small trailers to increase their carrying capacity, and the storage rack behind the driver can have a rear-facing passenger seat secured over it, provided there is no cargo in the rack. They are also popular amongst adrenaline junkies.
     * **Floaty ATV** - A return to form for the VM motorgroup as the hover technology from their car lines returns to their agricultural line. Used to allow farmers to move light items, equipment, and some small livestock over any terrian or disaster. Letting them escape natural disasters and try to continue operating despite them. Unfortunately the advanced equipment, high cost, and difficult maintainence makes this a less popular product in the VM lineup.
   * **Sports Cars** - Development on farming vehicles paved the way for creating nimbler vehicles suited to the road and race track rather than a pasture. VM's sports cars are known for their joyous handling, and being full of both leather and weather.
     * **El Brando** - Their first model of sports cars and the original head turners on the highways of Albion, the El Brando series of sports cars have a central engine, two seats, two doors, and the trunk in the front. Even with its sleek, angular profile, a top speed of 237 km/h, and naught to one hundred in 4.57 seconds, elements of VM's farming roots can be seen in its mechanics. It's possible to use some of a VM tractor's parts to replace the Brando's components in a pinch - and the car remains operational!
     * **Il Pegassi** - Possessing a smoother body and more luxurious interior than its eyepatch-wearing brother El Brando, the Pegassi series of sports cars have catered to a more refined taste. They sport a wooden veneer in their interiors, heated leather seats, and viewscreens in the back. The creature comforts offered by this car do not downplay its top speed of 214 km/h and a its naught to a hundred in 4.25 seconds; It can switch from showboater to showstopper with a simple dismissal of the driver's inhibitions.
     * **La Dracona** - VM's foray into hover car technologies proved to be one of its less popular experiments, but it broke even within its first few months of sale. La Dracona's main design challenge was making its handling match that of its earthbound descendents, and assistance from [[company/one_stop]]'s engineers was sought to create an anti-gravity solution which could remain nimble in the air and over land. Its four emitters((Located where every wheel would go on a standard car.)) are capable of moving independently of each other to ensure thrust is directed efficiently and safely. It has a top speed of 205 km/h in the air, and is capable of going up to 263 km/h flown close to the ground.
   * ** Combat Vehicles **
     * ** El Corcelle ** - While not selling directly to any military customers, Victor-Marshall does maintain a side industry of heavily protected personnel transports and carriers. Combining VM's tough engineering standards with heavy armor, decent mobility, and passenger survival even when the vehicle takes heavy damage. The El Corcelle is an eight wheeled armored box with room for sixteen crew and passengers designed for VIP extraction, armored insertion, tactical movement, and riot control. Designed to be nigh unstoppable, the El Corcelle is designed to move people or things into Hell and back out again.
   * **Medical Implants** - In the tight medical sector, VM implants are known for their lifetime gurantee. Yours, to be precise! Using patented precision printing and extrusion techniques, we can make a new part of you.
     * **Combat Enhancements** - Protect yourself and those you love, with yourself! ((WITH YOUR OWN TWO HANDS)(Make it a PERSONAL responsibilty)) VM's range of combat cybernetics include integrated firearms or blades, or discreet layers of ballistic material or replacable plates woven into the skin. Perfect for bodyguards.
     * **Appearance Enchancers** - Let the world see the true you((Or at least what you consider to be the true you.)) with the miracle of modern medicine. Change your face, change you color, even change your species!((**Note:** Changing species is not covered under insurance. Please consult a medical professional before undergoing life changing surgery not in conjunction with any other offer brought to you by the surgeon general.))
   * **Air Conditioners and Heaters** - For buildings, cars, or spacecraft, a little air conditioning and climate control makes a ride smoother, and living better. In addition, Victor-Marshall can provide their closed-system technologies for industrial-scale refrigeration. In particular, one of their noteworthy interstate clients are the manufacturers of the climate-control domes present in [[location/york]].
   * **Terraforming Equipment** - The logical step up from tending a backyard garden into perfection; Advances in engineering, geology, and chemistry mean the garden has effectively turned into a whole planet, and the tools have grown to match. Victor-Marshall supplies and maintains the tools, equipment, chemicals, compounds, and licensing needed for localised or planet-wide terraforming. The most frequent clients are large-scale disaster management projects to smooth craters out and mend broken land.
