[[Special:MyLanguage/Aegis Dynamics|Aegis Dynamics]] began life in a merger between Earth-based [[Special:MyLanguage/Aegis Macrocomputing|Aegis Macrocomputing]] and [[Special:MyLanguage/Davien|Davien]]-based [[Special:MyLanguage/Dynamic Production Systems|Dynamic Production Systems]]. The former constructed computing systems for the burgeoning spacecraft industry and the latter maintained four systems worth of production yards (including the specialized component factories on their home system). The goal from day one was to build naval spacecraft, and the resulting company was tailor-made for military contract bidding in an era when mankind was marshalling its forces. As [[Special:MyLanguage/Messer Era|Messer]] consolidated power, Aegis was there to supply spacecraft to his legions. Craft like the [[Special:MyLanguage/Retaliator|Retaliator]] became synonymous with the government’s iron hand.

With Messer’s fall, Aegis Dynamics seemed destined to fade away. The once-popular hardware supplier of [[Special:MyLanguage/Ivar Messer|Ivar Messer]]’s tyrannical regime — closely associated with the horrors of those years — Aegis was all but consigned to the dustbin of history. The company began a significant makeover after the fall of the Messer era; gone was the hard-edged and militant ‘AD’ lighting strike logo, replaced with a softer and less distinctive signifier. The damage of the association was done, however: contracts were cut and the company suffered massive layoffs as military spending went to newer and less-politically-dangerous corporations like Anvil Aerospace and MISC.

Then, a funny thing happened: the civilian world began to adopt Aegis’ military designs for their own purpose. Whether a testament to the increasingly dangerous galaxy or the sheer reliability of Aegis’ weapons of war, the company once fueled by dictatorial government contracts now thrived on the population it once helped oppress. Retaliator bombers were no longer the feared symbols of government power; instead, they became personal transports, mobile homes, mining spacecraft and even firefighters. The burdens of Aegis’ past began to lift and the company began to focus on civilian variants for their current-generation designs.

== [[Special:MyLanguage/Avenger|Avenger]] ==

بدأت الأفنجر حياتها المهنية بإخلاص كأول ناقلة جنود للخطوط الأمامية في آواخر القرن ال 28.

حققت مركبات الأفنجر عدد من انتصارات فضاء-لفضاء المثيرة للإعجاب في تلك الحقبة،لكن تم احلالها في نهاية المطاف بتصاميم أكثر مناورة مثل الهورنت .

·ومع تركيز قتال الفضاء على مهارات المناورة، أسقطت الأفنجر من الخدمة في الجيش وتم إعادة تصنيف غرضها الى المركبة القياسية[[Special:MyLanguage/Advocacy|الدفاع]] وقوات الأمن المحلي.

اليوم، لايزال الجيش يستخدم الأفنجر للتدريب؛موديل المقعدين أول مركبة متسامحة للطيارين الجدد.

The current civilian model Avenger is marketed towards bounty hunters, with the second seat removed for direct access to the hold. Munitions storage has also been replaced with traditional cargo hooks, and (perhaps most importantly) the standard exterior flight line ladder entry system has been replaced with an internalized solution that allows the pilot to more easily maintain control of access (and egress).

== [[Special:MyLanguage/Retaliator|Retaliator]] ==

The Retaliator, once the symbol of Messer’s iron fist, has transitioned along with the company to become an all purpose spacecraft design. With over two centuries of design evolution, modern day Retaliators barely resemble the original model. Built first as a ground-based strategic bomber, the Retaliator is capable of delivering a heavy payload of bombs to a planetary target or an array of shipkiller torpedoes to any size of capital ship. It was exactly this modularity that allowed civilian pilots to adapt the Retaliator for their own purposes: adaptable bomb bays could be swapped for after-market living quarters, cargo racks or other, more exotic options. Added to this was the vast quantity of surplus Retaliators stored in low-humidity conditions around the galaxy, making them a cost-effective option for pilots looking to make a start with a larger crewed spaceship.

The resulting ‘do it yourself’ nature of Retaliator ownership has caused an interesting, ship-specific culture to flourish. Though they come from all walks of life, civilian Retaliator pilots have formed something of a brotherhood around their love of their “Talis.” So-called ‘bomber boys’ organize Retaliator conventions and compete to find the most interesting new uses for the spacecraft. BB gatherings may bring thousands of the ships together at once, and provide an interesting sight for anyone caught in the middle.
