'''Alliance Aerospace Group''' was a producer of spacecraft in the [[Magistracy of Canopus]].
 
  
 
==Overview==
 
==Overview==
A joint venture between [[Canopian]] investors and [[Outworlds Alliance|Outworlds]] technicians, the Alliance Aerospace Group (or AAG) was the first dedicated space production facility in the Magistracy since the first [[Star League]]. AAG's first factory was built on [[Marantha]] to produce ''[[Seydlitz]]'', ''[[Lightning (Aerospace Fighter class)|Lightning]]'', and ''[[Thunderbird (Aerospace Fighter class)|Thunderbird]]'' [[aerospace fighter]]s and initial production runs exceeded expectations. The company's expansion plan included adding new lines for ''[[Chippewa]]'' and ''[[Slayer]]'' heavy aerospace fighters in the near future. [[General]] [[Hadji Doru]] was a prominent AAG stockholder who used his personal capital to further accelerate the production of improved fighters for the [[Magistracy Armed Forces]]' space arm.<ref name=H:MPSp92>''Handbook: Major Periphery States'', p. 92: "Alliance Aerospace Group"</ref>

=== The Dark Age ===
The Alliance Aerospace Group benefited from the economic boom the Magistracy underwent in the [[Dark Age]], as did the rest of the Magistracy's military-industrial complex, with money from the [[Capellan Confederation]] and [[Duchy of Andurien]] pouring into the Magistracy. The Alliance Aerospace Group benefited from more than just foreign money: assistance from Andurien allowed the company to begin producing [[JumpShip]]s from a new facility constructed in the [[Bass]] system.<ref name="FM:3145p187">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 187: "Magistracy of Canopus"</ref>

In addition to the new facility at Bass, the Alliance Aerospace Group was also given the role of manufacturing the [[Athena Corporation#Diamond Garter Fleet Yards|Diamond Garter Shipyards]], an existing facility above [[Canopus IV]] that had nearly been destroyed during the [[Succession Wars]]. The shipyards were successfully reopened during the Dark Age and began manufacturing a mix of [[DropShips]] as well as certain materials needed for [[BattleMech]] construction that have to be manufactured in zero gravity.<ref name="FM:3145p187"/>
