'''Kruger Intergalactic''' (also known as '''Kruger Intergalaktische''') is a [[StarCitizen:Human]] manufacturer that produces spacecraft, weapons, and spacecraft components.<ref name="galactapedia">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0Gz5BWEOEg-kruger-intergalactic|accessdate=2021-08-06}}</ref>

== History ==
In [[StarCitizen:2558]], [[StarCitizen:Ozell Kruger]] opened a workshop on her home planet of [[StarCitizen:Borea]] in the [[StarCitizen:Magnus system|Magnus System]] and called the company Kruger Intergalactic. Her company's ability to deliver first-rate products on time and within budget quickly impressed customers. Still it was [[StarCitizen:Ozell Kruger|Ozell]]'s good fortune to have opened her operation during the [[StarCitizen:Borea]] boom that really helped her fledgling company thrive.

Building on that significant boost up, Kruger Intergalactic has grown from those humble beginnings into a multi-billion [[StarCitizen:UEC|Credit]] business. It specializes in expertly crafted, custom-machined parts and, more recently, creating full weapons and ships, including the popular [[StarCitizen:Tigerstrike]] rotary cannon and the [[StarCitizen:P-52 Merlin]] snub fighter.

===Military Complex===

As the [[StarCitizen:UEE Navy|Navy]] expanded, [[StarCitizen:UPE]] money flooded the planet, which, for a while, was a major military hub and source of ship construction. At the time, Kruger was still a small operation and did not have the infrastructure or production pipeline to compete for government contracts, so it focused on landing deals to produce components for larger companies. Kruger's selling point was the ability to manufacture a wide variety of parts for anything from weapons to construction equipment to ships. With manufacturers scrambling to fill orders, and Kruger's sterling reputation spreading fast, its services were in high demand. It was during this period that Kruger began its longstanding relationship with [[StarCitizen:Behring]] and [[StarCitizen:Roberts Space Industries (manufacturer)|RSI]]. From laser-cut firing pins on [[StarCitizen:Behring|Behring's]] [[StarCitizen:P8-ARM Rifle]] to meticulously forged crucial [[StarCitizen:Capital ships|capital ship]] components, Kruger-designed manufacturing parts quickly became essential for many items.

Luckily for Kruger, this confluence of events occurred before [[StarCitizen:Magnus system|Magnus]]' military-industrial bubble burst. In [[StarCitizen:2751]], the [[StarCitizen:UEE]] moved their main shipbuilding yard to the [[StarCitizen:Kilian system|Kilian System]]. As numerous companies closed or fled the system, [[StarCitizen:Magnus system|Magnus]]' economy collapsed. Yet, Kruger did not just survive, it thrived. The company took advantage of the downturn to buy cheap real estate and abandoned equipment to expand its operations. At the time, Kruger's CEO, [[StarCitizen:Artyom Chansiri]], claimed that the company would stay loyal to the system and told numerous trade publications that its parts would always be "made in [[StarCitizen:Magnus system|Magnus]]."

Unfortunately, [[StarCitizen:Artyom Chansiri|Chansiri]] was not able to keep his word. As legitimate businesses left [[StarCitizen:Magnus system|Magnus]], residents were forced into illegal industries to survive. It was not long before [[StarCitizen:Magnus system|Magnus]] had earned a reputation as a developed system with a frontier mentality. Each year, Kruger executives grew more concerned as additional [[StarCitizen:UEC|Credits]] were spent protecting shipments.

Finally, in [[StarCitizen:2785]], pirates raided a large convoy of Kruger-made [[StarCitizen:Roberts Space Industries (manufacturer)|RSI]] parts leaving the system. The disruption to [[StarCitizen:Roberts Space Industries (manufacturer)|RSI]]'s supply chain put one of Kruger's key partnerships in jeopardy, so the company scrambled to find a solution. Years later, leaked corporate documents revealed that [[StarCitizen:Artyom Chansiri|Chansiri]] personally guaranteed that Kruger would leave the [[StarCitizen:Magnus system|Magnus System]] to keep [[StarCitizen:Roberts Space Industries (manufacturer)|RSI]]'s business. It was only a matter of finding a suitable, and cost-effective, new home for its massive operation.

Eventually, Kruger found the ideal spot near [[StarCitizen:Sherman]] on [[StarCitizen:Cascom|Castra II]]. The planet was originally a military base constructed during the cold war with the [[StarCitizen:Xi'an]]. In [[StarCitizen:2789]], relations with the [[StarCitizen:Xi'an]] had improved enough for the system to be designated for [[StarCitizen:Citizen]] and [[StarCitizen:civilian]] use. With a significant amount of affordable space, solid infrastructure and, most importantly, safe and secure shipping routes, [[StarCitizen:Sherman]] was an ideal destination. The moment the planet became open to non-military entities, Kruger moved in. [[StarCitizen:Sherman]] has housed their headquarters ever since.

===The Whole Picture===

After centuries of success as a parts manufacturer, it was an offhand remark by an executive at a board meeting that the company "made all the parts for a gun, except for the gun itself" that would change Kruger's course forever. The seed was planted and it did not take long to sprout. The company's first entry into the weapons market was a line of ballistic Gatling guns named [[StarCitizen:Tigerstrike]]. Their expert craftsmanship and straightforward design produced a slick and powerful weapon.

At first, sales were sluggish. With Kruger having previously only been known by industry insiders, the weapon buyers of the 'verse were not quite sure what to make of this 'new kid on the block.' Determined to show what it could do, Kruger cut a deal with [[StarCitizen:Aegis Dynamics|Aegis]]. Kruger gave [[StarCitizen:Aegis Dynamics|Aegis]] a discount on parts production in exchange for them changing the [[StarCitizen:Avenger (series)|Avenger]]'s stock weapon to the [[StarCitizen:Tigerstrike]]. Soon, with both military and [[StarCitizen:Advocacy]] personnel singing the gun's praises, its popularity rapidly rose. The success of the [[StarCitizen:Tigerstrike]] encouraged the company to continue developing other weapons.

Following its successful transition to full-scale weapons manufacture, Kruger set its sights on making ships. After the sluggish beginning of its weapons program, it knew this would pose a significantly higher financial risk, so it needed to figure out a way to enter the field without being fully exposed. For this endeavor, it once again leveraged its strengths and looked to a larger company for a leg up. Kruger won a contract to produce two short-range ships for [[StarCitizen:Roberts Space Industries (manufacturer)|RSI]] to package with their [[StarCitizen::Category:Constellation series|Constellation line]]. Of course those ships, the [[StarCitizen:P-52 Merlin]] and [[StarCitizen:P-72 Archimedes]], heavily feature Kruger parts and weapons.

In [[StarCitizen:2955]], Kruger unveiled their most ambitious endeavor yet. The [[StarCitizen:L-21 Wolf]] is the first ship the company developed and manufactured completely independently. Based on an original design created when Kruger was first working on the Merlin, the ship’s unique, retro-futuristic look was beloved but deemed too expensive to produce due to multiple manufacturing challenges. Finally, building on centuries of industrial experience and the skills learned during their invaluable partnership with [[StarCitizen:Roberts Space Industries (manufacturer)|RSI]], Kruger developed new production techniques that allowed them to make the Wolf without compromise.

To celebrate this exciting new chapter, Kruger also updated their logo for the first time. A sleek silver and white color scheme replaced the brash red and yellow used for centuries. The iconic bird of prey logo still remains, as it was originally chosen by [[StarCitizen:Ozell Kruger|Ozell]] because of her love of falconry.

[[StarCitizen:Ozell Kruger]] opened her original workshop intent on making quality parts. Few could have predicted just how far that initial dedication would take the company. Now the words that once graced her original shop, "Perfection in every piece," have become the motto of a company known and respected throughout the [[StarCitizen:UEE|Empire]].<ref name="portfolio">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/14866-Portfolio-Kruger-Intergalactic|text=Portfolio: Kruger Intergalactic}}</ref>
