Saroyan Special Productions was a Capellan Confederation aerospace and conventional fighter manufacturer.
Overview[edit]
Located on the Sian continent of Imarra,[2] Saroyan Special Productions was the only company still manufacturing the Transgressor aerospace fighter in the mid-thirty-first century;[3] what had once been the pinnacle of Capellan aerospace technology had been eclipsed in the decades leading up to the Jihad by advanced fighter designs like the Troika or the Defiance OmniFighter.[1]
The emergence of more advanced fighter designs had resulted in a sharp decline in Saroyan's operating profits as orders from the Capellan Admiralty declined; following a cut in Admiralty standing orders of 30% in the mid 3060s, the company began investigating the development of alternative designs, possibly in conjunction with the other member states of the Trinity Alliance, although it was reported that Saroyan was making limited headway given how satisfied the Magistracy of Canopus and Taurian Concordat were with the Troika.[1]
During the Jihad, the facility on Sian suffered capital and personal losses of 60%, and the operating capacity of the factory was reduced to 76% of their main production volume in 3079.[4]
