Federated-Boeing Interstellar

Revision as of 06:21, 27 August 2015 by BrokenMnemonic (talk | contribs) (I've expanded this to include the Universal Ship Yards detail; as the trading name of the merged Universal Air/Federated-Boeing Interstellar was Federated-Boeing, I think it makes sense to have it here.)

Overview

The Federated Suns nationalized the Galax Branch of Boeing Interstellar shortly after it's CEO dithered and insisted on waiting for input from the Company Headquarters on Terra to respond shortly after the fall of the Star League.[1] Now operating under the name of Federated-Boeing Interstellar the lines originally produced twenty-five classes of DropShips. The number of DropShip designs in production dwindled to ten over the next three hundred years as Galax lost access to the required technology.[2]

History

The corporation was founding has been vaguely traced as far back as the early twenty-first century, as a fixed-wing fightercraft manufacturer on Terra. During the centuries, the corporation expanded gained reputation for quality products in the Aerospace field. As Boeing Interstellar, the company was major manufacturer for the Star League by 2781, with two shipyards between Terra and New Earth. In the aftermath of Amaris Coup, the Boeing made a bid to expand beyond old Terran Hegemony to Star League member-states, where it gained foot hold on the FedSuns world of Galax. Seen as a major economic coup for Prince Paul Davion, the establishment of Boeing's Galax Megacomplex (Completed 2786) help bring stability to the nation's economy while the Star League dissolved during its sometimes interrupted construction.[3]

In 3069 the main Galax facility was destroyed by Blakist forces despite the presence of the 6th Crucis Lancers AeroSpace Brigade, Federated-Boeing Security, and the FSS Intrepid. The Blakists attacked with two WarShips and a flotilla of DropShips.[4] They took every hull under construction in the Port Simon Naval Yards, including the FSS Melissa Davion and at least ten Excalibur Pocket WarShips.[5] During this attack the Word poisoned the biosphere, rendering the planet inhospitable. Within five months, the 6th Crucis Lancers had to enforce a quarantine against the planet to prevent the contagion's spread.[6] The loss of the Federated Boeing facilities at Galax represented the single biggest loss of Federated Suns military manufacturing in the entire of the Jihad.[7]

Despite the disaster on Galax, Federated-Boeing had spread out many manufacturing centers across the Federated Suns which allowed them to continue production of spare parts. Fortunately they had significant cash on hand to engineer a merger with Universal Air, a long time production partner. The former UniAir headquarters on Delavan became the new Federated-Boeing headquarters, and production resumed.[8]

Leadership

In 3067 the companies CEO is Duke Aleksandr Philip McCorkendale.[9]

Manufacturing Centers

Federated-Boeing Interstellar has manufacturing centers on the following planets:

Delavan

As a result of the merger with Universal Air during the Jihad Federated-Boeing acquired two major assets in the Delavan system; a new corporate headquarters located in Williams Bay, the capital city of Delevan II, and the Universal Ship Yards in orbit above Delavan III. As of 3079 Federated-Boeing were attempting to expand production at the Universal Ship Yards to include the Overlord, Overlord A3 and Conquistador-class DropShips and Pocket WarShips.[10]

NOTE: As of 3070, none of these lines are active due to Blakist attacks during the Jihad and the deployment of a bioweapon against the planet. Most Federated-Boeing production following the loss of Galax took place at the company's new headquarters in the Delevan system.[14]
