Overview

The Federated Suns nationalized the Galax Branch of Boeing Interstellar shortly after it's CEO dithered and insisted on waiting for input from the Company Headquarters on Terra to respond shortly after the fall of the Star League.[1] Now operating under the name of Federated-Boeing Interstellar the lines originally produced twenty-five classes of DropShips. The number of DropShip designs in production dwindled to ten over the next three hundred years as Galax lost access to the required technology.[2]

In 3069 the main Galax facility was destroyed by Blakist forces despite the presence of the 6th Crucis Lancers AeroSpace Brigade, Federated-Boeing Security, and the FSS Intrepid. The Blakists attacked with two WarShips and a flotilla of DropShips.[3] They took every hull under construction in the Port Simon Naval Yards, including the FSS Melissa Davion and at least ten Excalibur Pocket WarShips.[4] During this attack the Word poisoned the biosphere, rendering the planet inhospitable. Within five months, the 6th Crucis Lancers had to enforce a quarantine against the planet to prevent the contagion's spread.[5]

Fortunately Federated-Boeing had spread out many manufacturing centers across the Federated Suns which allowed them to continue production of spare parts. Fortunately they had significant cash on hand to engineer a merger with Universal Air, a long time production partner. The former UniAir headquarters became the new Federated-Boeing headquarters, and production resumed.[6]

Manufacturing Centers
