StarCitizen:Aegis Dynamics

Aegis Dynamics is a StarCitizen:human spacecraft and spacecraft component manufacturer based on StarCitizen:Cestulus in the StarCitizen:Davien system. It built a majority of the military ships used by the StarCitizen:United Empire of Earth (UEE) during the StarCitizen:Messer Era and became synonymous with the regime. After the fall of the Messers, it lost most of its military contracts and was nearly bankrupted, but it recovered on the strength of a civilian StarCitizen:Retaliator and today manufactures both civilian and military ships.<ref name="galactapedia">Template:Cite RSI</ref>

History

Aegis Dynamics was founded from a merger between StarCitizen:Earth-based StarCitizen:Aegis Macrocomputing and Davien-based StarCitizen:Dynamic Production Systems, with the explicit goal of constructing naval spacecraft. The company was favored by StarCitizen:Ivar Messer and rose to prominence during the StarCitizen:First Tevarin War. During the StarCitizen:Messer Era, Aegis ships became synonymous with the regime.<ref name="portfolio">Template:Cite RSI</ref>

Under StarCitizen:Hannah Chan, CEO from 2643 to 2708, Aegis developed the StarCitizen:Javelin-class, and Chan used her relationship with Imperator StarCitizen:Illyana Messer VI to secure further contracts. Aegis also established the "diamond laminate standard" for cockpits, improving spacecraft safety.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>

After the fall of the StarCitizen:Imperator, Aegis lost most of its military contracts amid public backlash over its association with the Messers. Facing layoffs and restructuring, and relegated to producing parts, the company was nearly bankrupted. Its fortunes turned with the debut of a civilian StarCitizen:Retaliator, which exceeded sales expectations and staved off bankruptcy. The company has since softened its image and focused on StarCitizen:civilian variants in its current-generation designs.<ref name="galactapedia" />

Today, Aegis Dynamics is a major manufacturer of both military and civilian StarCitizen:ships. The older StarCitizen:Retaliator bombers have been repurposed as deep-space transport and hauling vessels, and the Idris frigate (named after the StarCitizen:battle of Idris IV) has been demilitarized for private ownership, though pirate groups have been known to acquire them.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref><ref name="galactapedia" />

Although manufactured by MISC, the StarCitizen:Starfarer Gemini is sold under the Aegis Dynamics brand.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>
