United Motor Company

Description
The United Motor Company (UMC), is a multi-national conglomerate automobile company headquartered in Las Bernardino, Texas, United States. UMC is the 2nd leading automotive company in the world, just behind McFly Automotive.

UMC is a joint venture founded and owned by Alabaster Motors, Stallion Vehicles, and The Liberty Car Company. UMC's subsidiaries operate almost independently, but all are under the UMC name. The UMC name is there to protect the three companies from heavy lawsuits, and a way to pool their resources. The existence of UMC lessens costs for all three subsidiaries, as well as allows all the companies to manufacture their vehicles under one roof as well as ship vehicles together.

UMC used to own Jupiter Motors before they dropped out in 2004. UMC once offered a buyout to McFly Automotive in 1997, who declined the offer.

Brief History
Starting in 1966, Pierce Alabaster, the owner of Alabaster Motors, declared a proposition to fellow automotive companies to create a joint venture in order to lessen costs and boost manufacturing. Stallion Vehicles and The Liberty Car Company agreed to join. The company was founded on October 30th.

Through the 60s-70s, UMC obtained Jupiter Motors, who wanted to join the company after seeing the success of it. Jupiter Motors was officially a partner on 1978, June 1st. Jupiter Motors brought something new to the table; cheap and affordable consumer cars that had incredible gas mileage. The other subsidiaries mostly guzzled gas, especially The Liberty Car Company.

In the 90s, UMC fully adapted Jupiter's fuel system into their vehicles, which in turn made Jupiter less useful for the company, and make Jupiter's sales slowly drop.

By the early 2000's, Jupiter made threats to UMC to stop using their fuel system, or they would drop out of the joint venture and file a lawsuit against the company. Of course, UMC declined this and allowed Jupiter to drop out in 2004, and Jupiter soon filed a lawsuit against UMC for larceny and property damage.

The court found in favor of UMC, as UMC claimed that since Jupiter was apart of UMC, they would have to share their innovative ideas with the company as a whole. Jupiter later fell into bankruptcy in 2009.

Through the 2010s, UMC had talk of forming a new car company, one that would be circulated around sports cars. Although Stallion was already making mid-level sports cars, but UMC wanted something bigger. Talk of this new company circulated through the media for a couple years until the rumors eventually died down in 2014.

Today, UMC is planning to form this new sports car company in 2029, and UMC is also in the process of purchasing the flying car patent from Framtida, which is expected to be fully integrated into UMC's lineup by 2030.
