Blue Nose Clipperships was a major military contractor for the Terran Hegemony and Star League Defense Force. They would later specialize in the production of WarShips.

History

Originally known as Blue Nose Interstellar Technologies, they would undertake the research to create what would result in the common JumpShip design. Blue Nose would first develop a compact Jump Drive and later develop the JumpShip Docking Collar. This development would result in the Liberty-Class JumpShip. After the success of its prototype in 2458, the design would be in mass production for 11 years. Within months of showing the first dozen ships to the Terran Hegemony public, the company would sell out ten years worth of production of the Liberty. Blue Nose became highly profitable, selling Docking Collars and K-F Booms to other interstellar shipyards. The resulting financial success would usher in the expansion of the company's orbital shipyards orbiting Mars and merging with partner companies to form Blue Nose Clipperships.[1]
