Kong Interstellar Corporation
Kong Interstellar Corporation is a weapon manufacturer that has been in the Free Worlds League since the time of the Star League.
Overview
Connaught is the primary factory world for Kong Interstellar. The 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.[1] Only after the Clan Invasion did Kong begin to rebuild its manufacturing abilities and resume production some of its products.[2] The CEO in 3067 is Ryan Phillipousis.[1]
In 3065 Kong Interstellar opened a new Ostsol production line in Ranelagh (Connought's capital) that specializes in the 7M variant.[1]
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.[3]
