	~~The company~~ was founded by [[StarCitizen:~~UPARQ~~]] ~~graduates~~ in ~~engineering~~ [[StarCitizen:~~Layth Brentano~~]] and [[StarCitizen:~~Tetsuya Lang~~]] ~~with~~ the ~~help of~~ [[StarCitizen:~~Akili Harris~~]], ~~a research pilot working for the~~ [[StarCitizen:~~Department of the Interior~~]]. ~~Their first product was~~ the ~~Caldera~~ suit, ~~which started production in~~ [[StarCitizen:~~2942~~]] ~~as the first product of the~~ Caldera ~~company.~~		Caldera was founded by Layth Brentano, a self-described "capable engineer, but a better go-getter" who was born in a cold region of [[StarCitizen:Vann]] in the [[StarCitizen:Croshaw system]]. Brentano spent much of his youth maintaining his family's mining outpost, repairing machines in harsh weather, and developed a lasting passion for mechanics. A scholarship brought him to [[StarCitizen:Reisse]] to attend the [[StarCitizen:Universities of the Rhetor system\|University of Rhetor]], where he met [[StarCitizen:Tetsuya Lang]], an engineer known for his work on mitigating thermal expansion in metals. A comment from Brentano inspired a solution to a problem that had stalled Lang's research, and the two began collaborating. Brentano observed that heat-resistant armor often accounted for thermal expansion by incorporating other materials between its pieces, and proposed that limiting those materials could produce a safer, sturdier suit. After Lang's early experiments showed promise, the pair secured a UEE student research grant and, by graduation, a research and development grant and a provisional lab on [[StarCitizen:Persei]].<ref name="portfolio">{{Cite RSI\|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/18016-Portfolio-Caldera\|text=Portfolio: Caldera\|accessdate=2026-06-19}}</ref>

Brentano then met [[StarCitizen:Akili Harris]], a former [[StarCitizen:United Empire of Earth Navy\|Navy]] pilot working as a research pilot for the [[StarCitizen:Department of the Interior]], collecting core samples from planets, moons, and asteroids. Harris had spent extensive time in extreme environments, and after examining their work she began helping to upgrade her own armor kit with their technology. Although the team ultimately lost its grant, Harris had become invested in the project and helped facilitate their move to [[StarCitizen:Mentor]], personally flying the most valuable equipment there. In return, Brentano built her a suit to her specifications, incorporating features she requested such as ample storage and a comfortable inner lining, and offered her a share of every unit sold.<ref name="portfolio" />

To demonstrate the suit's appeal, Brentano asked Harris to take him to the most beautiful place she had visited, and footage from their expedition to a snowy caldera convinced early investors and inspired the company's name. The first production run sat on shelves for nearly a year before becoming the most popular purchase of [[StarCitizen:2942]]. A late-2941 government report revealing ancient [[StarCitizen:Tevarin]] settlements in the newly discovered [[StarCitizen:Kabal system]] spurred consumer interest in explorer suits, and Brentano recut the expedition footage into an advertisement that he placed on landing-zone displays across the [[StarCitizen:United Empire of Earth]]. The ad features an explorer in a [[StarCitizen:Novikov Exploration Suit\|Novikov]] suit summiting the rim of a caldera, ending with the company's slogan.<ref name="portfolio" />

			<blockquote>«Take the next step»</blockquote>

			Caldera has since expanded steadily while emphasizing quality, with the [[StarCitizen:Novikov Exploration Suit\|Novikov]] and [[StarCitizen:Pembroke Exploration Suit\|Pembroke]] environmental suits remaining its flagship products. Lang leads new product development and continues to refine older designs, while Harris consults for the company between her own expeditions. Brentano remains CEO and personally field-tests each new product to provide engineering and user feedback.<ref name="portfolio" />
