Yorm is a spacecraft StarCitizen:shield generator manufacturer and one of the best-known producers of competition-grade components in the StarCitizen:United Empire of Earth (UEE).

History
During his underground racing days, Yorm came to the attention of StarCitizen:Adel Fansekar, a financier with an eye for talent and a large bankroll. Fansekar became fascinated with Yorm's custom ship component modifications, which were aimed at shaving every last millisecond off his lap times and which at one point included his decision to fly his ships nude until racing authorities required all pilots to wear suits. With Yorm's permission, Fansekar set out to start a line of racing components to fill an unmet demand in the industry. Demand for the first Yorm shield generators was high, in part because they were designed to Yorm's own exact specifications and approved by him personally.<ref name="portfolio" />
In the early StarCitizen:30th Century, under the leadership of StarCitizen:Silvio Halbrook, the company attempted to expand into hull plating. A series of poor design decisions, mismanagement, and manufacturing issues nearly sank the company. After Halbrook's ouster, StarCitizen:Bao Ingram took over and returned Yorm to its roots and previous standing. It remains popular among racers and those who prioritize performance.<ref name="portfolio" />

Trivia
- The company's logo, a smiley face, originates from the days when Yorm was asked to give feedback on newly designed aspects of a component. Gotlieb would always respond the same way when he was satisfied, by drawing a giant happy face.<ref name="portfolio" />
