Line 21: With a long history of manufacturing ''[[Star Lord (JumpShip class)|Star Lord]]''- and ''[[Invader]]''-class [[JumpShip]]s, Midway Shipyards vessels were known for solid construction and reduced incidences of breakdowns and repair issues than similar vessels from other manufacturers. This exemplary reputation ensured the [[Draconis Combine Admiralty]] gave Midway contracts to produce the ''[[Inazuma]]''-, ''[[Kirishima]]''-, and ''[[Kyushu]]''-class [[WarShip]]s following the initial [[Clan Invasion]]. These contracts came with a massive series of grants to expand the Midway yards to cope with the work, tripling the company's size in less than four years.
