Aegis Dynamics was founded from a merger between [[Earth]]-based Aegis Macrocomputing and [[Davien system|Davien]]-based Dynamic Production Systems, with the explicit goal of constructing [[UEE Navy|naval]] spacecraft. The firm was favoured by [[Ivar Messer]], and thus grew to prominence during the [[First Tevarin War]]. During the [[Messer Era]], Aegis craft became synonymous with the ruthless, oppressive regime.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/transmission/13547-Galactic-Guide-Aegis-Dynamics|text=Portfolio: Aegis Dynamics}}</ref>

Under [[Hannah Chan]], CEO from 2643 to 2708, Aegis developed the [[Javelin]]-class and Chan used her good relationship with Imperator [[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>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/16425-Showdown-Historical-Context|text=Showdown: "Historical Context"|accessdate=2021-05-30}}</ref>

After the Fall of the [[Imperator]], most of Aegis' military contracts were stripped, and the company seemed destined for bankruptcy, with massive layoffs. However, the Aegis craft began to be adopted by [[civilian]]s, repurposed for non-military uses. In turn, the firm has shifted, softening its image and focusing on [[civilian]] variants for their current-generation designs.

These days, Aegis only produces a few craft. The old [[Retaliator|Retaliator bombers]] have been re-purposed for widespread use as a deep-space transport or hauling vessel. The [[Idris (series)|Idris Frigate]] (named after the [[battle of Idris IV]]) has been demilitarized for private ownership, even though entrepreneurial pirate packs have been known to spring for one.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/12972-Writers-Guide-Part-Four/|text=Writer's Guide:Part Four}}</ref>

While manufactured by [[Musashi Industrial and Starflight Concern|MISC]], the [[Starfarer Gemini]] is sold under the Aegis Dynamics brand.
