Kong Interstellar Corporation is a defense manufacturer dating back to the Star League era.
Overview
During the Star League era Kong Interstellar was a major defense contractor to the Star League Defense Force,[1] with manufacturing plants on at least two worlds - Connaught[2] and Loxley.[1] The Loxley facilities didn't survive the Succession Wars. By the thirty-first century Connaught was the primary factory world for Kong Interstellar. The Connaught factory complex was severely damaged during the Succession Wars, losing its manufacturing abilities. It soldiered on as a repair and parts fabrication facility. These repair kits kept the company afloat, but were limited to the products Kong produced.[2] Only after the Clan Invasion did Kong begin to rebuild its manufacturing abilities and resume production some of its products.[3] The CEO in 3067 is Ryan Phillipousis.[2]
In 3065 Kong Interstellar opened a new Ostsol production line in Ranelagh (Connought's capital) that specializes in the 7M variant.[2]
Manufacturing
Kong Interstellar Corporation has manufacturing centers on the following planets:
Connaught
The Connaught plant lost a quarter of its staff during the Jihad, but by 3079 was operating at 90% of its full output.[4]
