Ioto Galactic Enterprises
Ioto Galactic Enterprises is a JumpShip manufacturer in the Lyran Commonwealth.
Overview
Ioto Galactic Enterprises was created from the ashes of its progenitor, Di Tron Heavy Industries. The Port Sydney Naval Shipyards located on Alarion was the only Di Tron manufacturing center to survive the fall of the Star League, though not unscathed. Raids during the Second Succession War saw its Jump Drive facilities crippled, preventing the creation of compact jump drives necessary for WarShip production. The Clan Invasion spurred House Steiner to pump fresh resources into the company and, in a join venture with Bowie Industries, begin producing WarShips again with the creation of the Mjolnir-class. The company remained profitable after the FedCom Civil War, and its shipyards remain important and essential for the Lyrans to repair their military products and components on the shipyard.[1][2]
The Word of Blake struck at Alarion early in the Jihad, destroying the shipyards there and using a powerful bioweapon to annihilate the population of the planet. As a result, the Ioto Galactica Enterprises facility on Gibbs became a hugely important facility for the Lyran Alliance, as it was the only facility capable of maintaining the Alliance's reduced WarShip fleet as well as the sole JumpShip production shipyard in the Alliance.[3]
The Gibbs facility escaped any damage during the Jihad.[4] After the Jihad ended, the Gibbs facility was the only one that could produce the K-F Drives needed by JumpShips.[5]
Leadership
In 3067 the company's CEO is Seamus Zuiderwyk.[1]
