Overview
Michaelson Heavy Industries found itself nearly bankrupt in the aftermath of the Jihad, leading to it selling technology to Brooks Incorporated which Brooks Inc. then used to develop the Aeron Strike VTOL.[1] Brooks Inc. were far from the only company to benefit from Michaelson's dire financial straits, which were entirely due to the Word of Blake blockade of Ruchbah, the homeworld for Michaelon Heavy Industries. A large part of the intellectual property owned by Michaelson was sold to other companies as Michaelson tried to stay afloat, but this also resulted in the marketplace rapidly filling with copies of their own vehicles produced by other companies, putting yet more pressure on Michaelson.[2]
A financial lifeline for Michaelson in the early 3080s came from the Republic of the Sphere when Michaelson entered a design for a new battle armor transport for the Republic Armed Forces. Although Michaelson nearly passed on the procurement competition, the decision by Michaelson to focus on the mobility requirement of the contract rather than the carrying capacity requirement saw their design accepted over all of the competitors, leading to production orders for the Trireme in three different variants as the major battle armor transport platform for the RAF.[2]
