History

Aegis Dynamics was founded from a merger between StarCitizen:Earth-based Aegis Macrocomputing and Davien-based StarCitizen:Dynamic Production Systems, with the explicit goal of constructing naval spacecraft. The firm was favoured by StarCitizen:Ivar Messer, and thus grew to prominence during the StarCitizen:First Tevarin War. During the StarCitizen:Messer Era, Aegis craft became synonymous with the ruthless, oppressive regime.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>

Under StarCitizen:Hannah Chan, CEO from 2643 to 2708, Aegis developed the StarCitizen:Javelin-class and Chan used her good relationship with Imperator StarCitizen:Illyana Messer VI to secure more contracts for the company. Aegis also established the 'diamond laminate standard' for cockpits, which improved the safety of space ships.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>

After the Fall of the StarCitizen:Imperator, most of Aegis' military contracts were stripped after the massive public backlash of association with the Messers, and the company seemed destined for bankruptcy, with massive layoffs, restructuring, and having been relegated to producing only parts. The fortunes of Aegis turned, however, with the debut of a civilian model of the StarCitizen:Retaliator which exceeded sales expectations and staved off bankruptcy. In turn, the firm has shifted, softening its image and focusing on StarCitizen:civilian variants for their current-generation designs.<ref name="galacatapedia" />

Today StarCitizen:Aegis Dynamics is a major manufacturer of both military and civilian StarCitizen:ships. The old Retaliator bombers have been re-purposed for widespread use as a deep-space transport or hauling vessel. The Idris Frigate (named after the StarCitizen:battle of Idris IV) has been demilitarized for private ownership, even though entrepreneurial pirate packs have been known to spring for one.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref><ref name="galacatapedia" />

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