Nikola Tesla discovered a science that allowed him to predict events in the future. He created a series of equations spread throughout 27 books that would conserve the resources of not only the planet, but the human race. Though publicly thought to have died a pauper, in fact he maintained many patents and consulted for many companies over his life. After discovering the prediction ability he used it to invest in a way that would not imbalance the economy and still fund necessary procedures in the coming years and decades--and so the Tesla Conservation was born.

The Edison Directorate was founded shortly after Edison the Immortal returned from his Eastern European trip. Edison himself is the President and CEO of the Directorate, but most of the operations are overseen by the Board of Directors.

The Directorate operates in the shadows behind many shell corporations--mostly tech and energy companies, but branching into many fields and markets. Primarily a U.S. company, they have contacts in Eastern Europe and surrounding regions with expansion on their mind.
