Wangker Aerospace was a manufacturer noted for constructing the Corsair, Eagle, and Thunderbird classes of aerospace fighters.

Overview[edit]
Star League Era and Succession Wars[edit]
When first established prior to the fall of the Star League, the then-interstellar corporation was expanded to five different worlds providing fighters for both the Terran Hegemony and the Federated Suns.[1] Its headquarters was originally on Mars.[2] Its most noted product was the Corsair. The fighter was designed for the Star League Defense Force, which was recovering from the Amaris Coup.[3]
The Succession Wars were not kind to Wangker. Its plant on Connaught was captured by Free Worlds League forces. The plant had a small production line, which made a limited amount of fighters for the League. It and the rest of Wangker's complexes that were targeted were destroyed in the opening rounds of the First Succession War.[3] The corporation faced extinction with all of its manufacturing facilities reduced to ruins. However, the company was able to deploy teams of technicians specialized in reclamation to the ruins of its complexes. These salvage teams gathered all the usable equipment from these factories before they were worked over by salvagers. These materials were brought to Axton, where that site was rebuilt by the middle of the Second Succession War. Due to the complex being the product of what became LosTech, it suffered over the course of the centuries from being worn down. Additionally the company's Axton site became the target of raids from the Capellan Confederation. The damage those raids did to it were minor compared to the devastation of the First Succession War.[1]
Recovery of Star League Technology[edit]
At the dawn of the thirty-first century, Wangker's production equipment showed signs of almost complete failure. The company was able to rebuild during the 3020s and 3030s with the recovery of the Helm Memory Core. This event shaped the company's fortunes for the better. The recovered technology allowed the company's production lines to be fully restored and even allowed for enhancing its products so far as to make them reach the standards of the Federated Suns' armies.[1]
The Jihad and Devastation[edit]
As the Jihad darkened the Inner Sphere in late 3067, the company was able to produce newer and latest technology enhancements for its aerospace craft.
Wangker's Axton complex was the target of a raid by the Thirty-third Division of the Word of Blake in 3074. Wangker received the worst damage it had seen since the First Succession War. The facilities were so badly damaged, that by 3075 its expanded complex was still unable to produce any aerospace fighters.[4]
Dark Age[edit]
After the Jihad, Boeing Interstellar would purchase Wangker's surviving facilities and bring them under their ownership. Boeing would use Wangker's technology and components to produce the Sagittarii light fighter for the Republic of the Sphere, incorporating many of the components used to produce the Tomahawk light fighter.[5]
During the middle of the thirty-second century, Wangker's Mars facilities would become isolated from the rest of the Inner Sphere. This would occur when the Republic of the Sphere would execute its desperate Fortress Republic protocols. Wangker would double production of combat units it produces for the RAF, including the Schrack OmniFighter.[6]
Manufacturing[edit]
Wangker Aerospace has manufacturing centers on the following planets:
Axton[edit]
Note: During the Jihad, the Axton facility suffered heavy capital and personal losses of 95%, and the operating capacity of the factory was reduced to 25% of their main production volume in 3079.[7] The plant's production in 3079 was restricted to Corsair and Thunderbird fighters.[8]
Connaught[edit]
Note: The plant was destroyed during the First Succession War.[3]
