History
One of the busiest shipbuilders in the Federated Suns, the New Syrtis Shipyards have been producing DropShips since the 24th century. Though they are known for manufacturing DropShips, the New Syrtis Shipyards also offer extensive repair and refit facilities. In fact these yards were fixing several AFFS WarShips after the FedCom Civil War. Most of the current repair yards were laid down in the 29th century, but between battle damage and repair/refit projects, the yards have maintained a near constant growth pattern. The Hasek family is a major investor in the shipyards, and they steer plenty of AFFS work towards the yards.[1]
After suffering several attacks during the Jihad, including a crippling Taurian raid in October 3076,[2][3] the New Syrtis Shipyards lost their ability to produce WarShips. These attacks also eliminated the ability to repair WarShips, forcing the Shipyards to focus on DropShip production.[4] By 3079 cleanup efforts continued, but were expected to take a long time. The Jihad attacks cost the shipyards dearly. At least 90% of their facilities and personnel were destroyed in a few short years. The remaining slips and repair yards were operating at a mere 20% of their pre-Jihad levels.[5] In 3079 the New Syrtis Shipyards weren't producing new ships, but were repairing JumpShips. They were also working on repairing the FSS New Syrtis to return it to service,[6] although two years later the repair programme was still likely to take a number of years to complete. Despite the battered and reduced condition of the shipyards, they remain a critical asset for the Capellan March as the only shipyards within the March capable of service the surviving JumpShips and WarShips in the region.[7]
Leadership
In 3067 the company's CEO was Baron Feodor Venchil.[1]
