TAG was founded in the [[twenty-fifth century]] just after the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] government chose [[Tharkad]] as its new capital world.<ref name=H:HSp147/> The company situated its main manufacturing facilities in a set of orbital shipyards which have been given the name of Aesiria Station.<ref name=O:LAp25>''Objectives: Lyran Alliance'', p. 25: "Tharkad Aerospace Group"</ref> The yards have produced both civilian and military type DropShips over time, and was noted in [[3067]] as being one of the oldest manufacturers of DropShips still active.<ref name=H:HSp147/>
  
 
After the [[Star League]] fell, the company came into hard times, with production falling off substantially. The company opened its orbital shipyards for repair and refit work to anyone, including local corporate rivals.<ref name=H:HSp147/> By the [[thirty-first century]], TAG had developed something of a good working relationship with its friendly rival, [[Semier Data Tron]]. At this time, Semier granted TAG a joint license to manufacture ''[[Fortress]]''-class DropShips, and TAG began refitting them with the Movem-XL Drive from its ''Mammoth'' production line.<ref>''Objective Raids'', p. 82: TAG Profile</ref>

Prior to the [[Jihad]], TAG's corporate leadership begun bolstering its private aerospace defense force. In turn, its rival Semier did the same for its surface factories and orbital facilities.  This produced question if leadership of both companies had lost their fondness each other begun turn bitter rivalry.<ref name=H:HSp147/>

During the [[Jihad]] and [[Word of Blake]] occupation of Tharkad, TAG's factories took heavy losses. The manufacturing facilities were reduced to a quarter of their pre-Jihad output. With only 15% of their workforce coming through the Jihad, this wasn't surprising.<ref name=O:LAp3>''Objectives: Lyran Alliance'', p. 3: "State of the Industry at a Glance (Dec 3079)"</ref> Aesiria Station was only producing ''Mule''- and ''Intruder''-class DropShips in [[3079]].<ref name=O:LAp25/>
