History
After several years of negotiations Nashan and Defiance announced the creation of N&D Targeting Computers in 3024. A factory for the computer systems began almost immediately on Furillo, and completed in 3026.[1] Also in 3024 N&D Shipyards was formed from the assets of Henderson JumpShips of Alarion Unlimited in the Alarion system, in bankruptcy since 3012.[1]
N&D Targeting Computers became a licensed manufacturer for RCA products in the Lyran Commonwealth.[2] It is unknown who held the license prior to N&D's 3024 foundation.
At some point prior to 3050, N&D WorkMechs was formed, also located on Furillo.[3]
In 3069 N&D Shipyards, along with everyone else on Alarion, was destroyed by the Word of Blake Jihad.[4][5] Furillo also suffered losses in the Jihad, with N&D WorkMechs suffering 5% losses but returning to full production capacity by December 3069. What damage N&D Targeting Computers suffered, if any, is unknown.[6]
