Originally, Group-F was the FTGIC center for consumer electronics development. Their charter was to develop quality electronics which would retail at extremely low prices. Their assigned goal was to put a radio (later TV) and a refigerator in every house, hut and cave in the world.

In the late 1960's Group-F started to expand both it's product line and it's research facilities. 1966 brought robotics. By 1968, under the guise of needing specialized materials for a new color TV, Group-F had developed a plastics research facility. Within three years this facility was out producing the Plastics Resarch (PR) arm of Group-D. In 1972 FTGIC decided to move all assets from Grop-D's PR to Group-F.

Group-F's management felt bolstered by this move. However, Group-D had more political sway with the FTGIC board. A year long political battle raged. When this battle was finally over, both groups were granted the right to develop plastics. Half of Group-D's assets were returned.

By late 1974 Group-F management had developed a plan. Futher expansion would be in areas that were not already chartered by FTGIC. 1975 welcomed a telecom development wing. A bioengineering facility opened in 1983.

The last half of the 1980's were a tough time for FTGIC. Almost half of the work force retired, several research compounds in third world countries were nationalized, and an unfortunate insdustrial accident occured. Within days after this accident, a class action suit was filed. FTGIC setteled out of court for an undisclosed amount.

FTGIC was near collapse. The Groups were instructed to produce as much as possible. Even with this instruction, FTGIC was plumetting into the red. By the end of the year the FTGIC board was debating wether to sell off assets or close.

Just before a decision was reached FTGIC suddenly had a boost in revenues. Apparently Group-F suddenly became highly profitable. This revinue was invensted to stabalize FTGIC, and Group-F was instructed to continue doing the good work.

The FTGIC board was shocked when they learned what Group-F had done. In 1992 during an onsite visit it was discovered that Group-F had started taking govenment contracts. The Group-F management felt that this did not break FTGIC rules because they were non-discriminatory. Any government contract, from any goverernment, was bid on barring any contracts that would directly lead war. At the time, they were in negotiations with military branches of 3 goverments, each of which was trying to obtain better body armor for their troops before entering a land war.

FTGIC was outraged. They believed that dealing with any military organization was in direct conflict with the FTGIC charter. Group-F argued that armor would save lives, thereby upholding the charter.

The friction between Group-F and it's parent conglomeration has not ceased. Group-F has lost a great deal of political power, but still supplies more revinue than any other Group. These two factors are almost perfectly balanced. An unexpected benefit to this is the additional autonomy that Group-F has compared to other Groups.

Group-F is currently growing. As it sees fit, it accquires new facilities. Recently 2 forigen research compounds that had been nationalized have been purchased.

The latest arm that Group-F has created is Health and Wellness. This arm is currently being staffed, and by the end of the year should be profitable.
