Paradigm is a Alien research and material trading company based in the Kel-Morian Combine.
Founded after the emergence of the Zerg and Protoss, its main objective is to acquire anything extraterrestrial for profit. Funded by various and anonymous sponsors, many companies legal and shadow pay top credit for even damaged "goods" of alien origin. Though officially outlawed by the other two dominant Terran powers, the trading of extraterrestrial artifacts still goes on in the Black Market and by Fringe Worlds desperate for cash.
