LEIGH&CO is an interplanetary corporation headquartered in New Eden City. As the sole supplier of advanced technology in the web worlds, it oversees the manufacturing, distribution, and marketing of its products. LEIGH&CO was formed in Y0 NESC by the First Survivor of the Great Crash.
Sometime in Y1 NESC after CaptainOHair vanquished the End Dragon, LEIGH&CO scientists and military specialists travelled to The End where they returned with a bounty of matériel, including two entire copies of End Ships. One of the ships, stripped of any useful technology, was donated to the Martin Field Museum and the other was disassembled in a secret LEIGH&CO facility. These End Ships ultimately provided the insight required for LEIGH&CO to produce the Repulsors necessary for their fleet of flying ships, allowing them to easily cement their position as the dominating power in force projection and forward logistics handling.

In Y2S2, abc opened an embassy location in a northern village in de-facto but unrecognized control of the infamous Isolationist mrunix.
Accidents
Due to its role in creating and distributing advanced technological products and matériel, there have been a number of incidents involving loss of life and/or significant property damage.
Criticism
LEIGH&CO has been described as a "sadoanarchistic corporation" which exploits its monopoly of force on the planet to gain advantage and further its own undisclosed agenda. LEIGH&CO has been repeatedly criticized by environmentalists for its relationship to the negative environmental impacts of resource exploitation, mining, deforestation, and distribution operations of exotic (and dangerous) materials, continued exploitation of interdimensional travel and spacetime manipulation.
It has been alleged by some critics that LEIGH&CO does not reveal the true nature of its ambitions nor the scope of its operations, resource mining, and especially, technological experimentation. It has been suggested that LEIGH&CO does not act in a forthcoming or transparent manner as relates to incidents, especially accidents, related to to the development and application of its technology.
