History
Origins
In 2799, StarCitizen:August Dunlow, an anti-Messer political activist, acquired a controlling stake in the small shuttle manufacturer StarCitizen:Seraphim Systems located in StarCitizen:Tram. Dunlow rebranded the company as Crusader Industries, with the goal of generating significant profits that could be donated to fund charitable causes. As CEO, Dunlow expanded Crusader into producing large transport ships, landing government contracts and becoming a prominent aerospace manufacturer across the UEE. He instituted an ongoing policy of donating a portion of profits to charity, which has continued after Dunlow's retirement in 2846.<ref name=":0">Template:Cite RSI</ref>
Expansion under Caplan
In 2863, starliner designer StarCitizen:Kelly Caplan took over as CEO and purchased the gas giant StarCitizen:Crusader in Stanton as a new consolidated headquarters. This saved substantial costs in ship construction. Caplan encouraged other companies to establish outposts on the gas giant's three moons, though with mixed success due to onerous rules. Under Caplan, Crusader became the primary funder of the youth homeless shelter StarCitizen:Angeli's Angels, which had helped Dunlow earlier in life.<ref name=":0" />
Recent challenges
In recent years, Crusader has struggled to provide security across its sector of the Stanton system. Critics have suggested reducing charitable donations to bolster security funds. An independent watchdog revealed Crusader had under-reported crime rates, prompting revised protocols. However, effectively policing its extensive holdings has remained expensive. Despite these challenges, Crusader maintains its commitment to charitable work.<ref name=":0" />

It is a Greek word “ὡσαννά” (who saves) in The Septuagint this is most likely a transliteration of two hebrew words יָשַׁע which means “to save or deliver” and אָנּאָ which means “please, I beseech.” As such Hosanna always carries or is seen as a plea for salvation, a request to be saved or acknowledgement of the one who saves.
