The Axelrod Corporation was a Solarian transstellar business conglomerate based on Earth. They were among the first to recognize the significance of wormholes following their initial discovery in 1447 PD, and the Axelrod Astro Survey Division went looking for the gravitic markers indicating wormholes in all previously surveyed star system. Various wormhole termini were uncovered within the territory of the Solarian League and outside it, including in the Manticore Binary System.
