C.e. to a.t. change. See bold.
Displaying talent and competence admirable even for a superior, by 241 a.t. (2210 c.e.), he had expanded SSDC and made it a premier Cis-lunar power, incorporating with a few well-selected mergers such prime terran-based megacorps as Honda and Lockheed-Boeing. Finding the association with groundcars and aircraft too restrictive a market, he restructured the megacorp around space exploration and development, despite being still very much in the shadow of Lee Orbital. Following mergers with Yang and Mitsubishi, Sampson spun off a leaner, meaner SSDC as a wholly-owned subsidiary that could keep covering the market for ground vehicles, space craft, and other heavy industries. In 273, Samuel died from a sudden allergic reaction following a rejuvenation treatment. His mind was uploaded into the company AI core (despite corp propaganda reports to the contrary, no more than 46% of the personality remained intact), and his wife, the glamorous and rapacious Violetta Han-Sampson, took over and ran the megacorp for the next ninety-five years.
