'''Crusader Industries''' is a [[human]] spacecraft and spacecraft component manufacturer. One of four corporations in the [[United Empire of Earth]] to own a planet, Crusader Industries designs and constructs its spacecraft in the upper atmosphere of [[Crusader]], while the corporation and its employee-inhabitants reside on [[Orison]], a latticework of floating colony platforms. A producer of large commercial vessels, among its more popular products is the [[Genesis Starliner]], a luxury transport operated by civilian passenger lines across the galaxy. Crusader also produces a number of military support ships, including the [[M2 Hercules]] military transport and the [[Mercury Star Runner]].<ref name="galactapedia">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0OaBkLLG1N-crusader-industries|text=Galactapedia: Crusader Industries|accessdate=2020-03-22}}</ref>

==History==

===Origins===
In 2799, [[August Dunlow]], an anti-[[Messer Era|Messer]] political activist, acquired a controlling stake in the small shuttle manufacturer [[Seraphim Systems]] located in [[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">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/16513-Portfolio-Crusader-Industries|text=Portfolio: Crusader Industries|accessdate=2023-10-17}}</ref>

===Expansion under Caplan===
In 2863, starliner designer [[Kelly Caplan]] took over as CEO and purchased the gas giant [[Crusader]] in [[Stanton system|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 [[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" />

== Trivia ==
Crusader Industries often names its products or locations after spiritual and mythological concepts. For example:

* [[Orison]]: "prayer"
* Providence ([[Providence industrial platform]]): "the protective care of God"
* Empyrean ([[Empyrean Park]]): "the highest part of heaven"
* [[Ares Star Fighter Ion|Ares]]: Greek god of war
* [[Genesis Starliner|Genesis]]: the origin or creation of the world
* [[Hercules Starlifter|Hercules]]: Roman name of the Greek Heracles, son of Jupiter, who is famous for his strength and adventurousness
* [[Mercury Star Runner|Mercury]]: Roman messenger of the gods
* [[:Category:Spirit series|Spirit]]: "soul"
* Vision ([[Vision Center]]): "supernatural appearance"
* [[Hosanna tree|Hosanna]]: "expression of adoration or joy".  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.
