DESCRIPTION​

Aether Systems or Aether Fleet Systems was a starship and vehicle manufacturer headquartered on the planet Taris. It was established at the turn of the 9th Century [ 900 ABY ] in the waning days of the Great Hyperspace Wars. The company was known to focus on products that were specifically geared and marketed towards the Civilian and Private Sectors with limited Governmental Contracts. Its centralized location on Taris ensured that it was capable of maintaining contact with its primary marketplaces in the Core Worlds of the Galactic Alliance, the Braxant Run, and the Greater Tion Sector. Aether was known for its neutrality; showing no favor or allegiance to any one specific Government or Faction, and was known for its care and consideration towards its employees.

Recent developments in the political landscape resulted in Aether Systems shuttering their operations in the Tion Cluster in favor of locations in the Hapes Cluster and the Deep Core respectively. During this time, the company was known to overturn its neutrality in favor of lucrative contracts provided by the Galactic Alliance, Hapes Consortium, and the surviving Chiss population. The company was also known to have relocated its headquarters during this time from Taris to the Deep Core planet of Keera Major.

RATIONALE​

Aether Systems was founded between 855 ABY and 900 ABY on Taris by Amelia von Sorenn. The company was majority owned by Amelia and was often considered to be a spiritual, if not direct, successor of Von Sorenn Industries which had gone defunct following the collapse of the Confederacy of Independent Systems some twenty-five years prior. Aether was known to be backed by silent partners on Taris as well as minor shareholders in the form of average Tarisian citizens.

THE BEGINNING​

Aether Systems was a breakout starship and vehicle manufacturer founded on the planet Taris prior to relocating its main headquarters to the Deep Core planet of Keera Major. They were established in the waning days of the Great Hyperspace Wars circa 895 to 900 years After the Battle of Yavin. They were known to focus on specialty niche market products such as the Aether Training Craft Model 21 (Aether TC-21) and its Military variant, the Aether Training Craft Military Model 7 (Aether TC-M7).

The company was known to avoid direct marketplace confrontation with larger and more well-known Starshipwrights due to its continued focus on niche products to establish itself as a pre-eminent Starshipwright. This was seen in the production lines that followed their initial success of the Aether TC-21 and TC-M7 respectively such as the Aether Training Craft Frigate Model 5 (Aether TC-F5) which was marketed as an Advanced Training Ship for Civilian or Military use. Aether Systems' initial successes secured a series of Corporate Contracts issued by its parent corporation the Taris Trading Company.

During this period Aether Systems mass-produced the Aether Cargo Transport Model 23 (Aether CT-23) for the Open Market. This success was followed by Aether Cargo Manipulator Model 03 (Aether CM-03) and the Aether Heavy Cargo Manipulator Model 15 (Aether HC-15), both of which were produced in mass for the Open Market. The continued success of these models further secured additional Corporate Contracts which resulted in Aether Systems taking its first step into the Military Industrial Complex.

Aether Systems was known to have then produced the Ferrazid-class Heavy Starfighter alongside the Tarisian Customs Frigate and the larger Tarisian-class Heavy Cruiser. It was these first warships that would further catapult Aether Systems into becoming a Starshipwright to be reckoned with.

THE GALACTIC CONNECTION​

In its early days, Aether Systems was known for its staunch neutrality, showing no favor towards any singular Interstellar Government, Political Faction, Military Force, or other Organizations. Its strategically centralized location was chosen to ensure that Aether Systems remained in a position in which it could service and maintain contact with its primary marketplaces, the Core Worlds of the Galactic Alliance, the Braxant Run, and the Greater Tion Sector. Changing Political winds and the founding of the Empire of the Lost resulted in the Greater Tion Sector being declared untenable, with Aether Systems shuttering its primary manufacturing assets in the region and relocating them to the Deep Core. This decision ultimately set the tone and pace that would result in a closer relationship with the Galactic Alliance and would see Aether Systems begin to choose a side.

The Founder of Aether Systems, Amelia von Sorenn, would further solidify and seek to strengthen the relationship between Aether Systems and the Galactic Alliance by showing support for the New Jedi Order. In a private meeting with Jedi Master Valery Noble that took place on Coruscant, the newest creation of Aether Systems was revealed, The Bolaph, a Praxeum Ship that was designed and ultimately produced to further the cause of the New Jedi Order. During this meeting, Amelia von Sorenn also revealed her commitment to the Galactic Alliance by joining its Defense Force and serving as a Captain in the Galactic Alliance Naval Forces, thus planting the seed that would establish Aether Systems as the preeminent Starshipwright for the Galactic Alliance.

Aether Systems was also known to keep a close eye on the shifting Political Landscape of the Galaxy and closely watched the reports that came from Ryloth. The first Skirmish between the Galactic Alliance and their former Allies the Mandalorians was a result of the Mandalorian Enclave pressing their de jure claims on territories they had held previously and the Galactic Alliance stepping in on behalf of Ryloth when aid was requested of them. The conclusion of this minor conflict resulted in damaged Diplomatic Relations between the two Governments with the prospect of a larger conflict now looming on the horizon; Aether Systems saw the shift in the wind and prepared its facilities for the production of war materials for the Galactic Alliance.

In the following months, the Galactic Alliance would seek out new allies to replace those lost, resulting in a new Diplomatic Mission to the isolated Hapes Consortium. The meeting between the representatives of these two Governments was tepid at best, and its conclusion saw a shift in the stance of the Hapes in regard to sending their people into conflict. During this time, Amelia von Sorenn managed to secure a private meeting with Queen Mother Kha'la Daaray and begin the ongoing process of securing a long-term contract for Aether Systems beyond the newly forming conflict between the Galactic Alliance and the Mandalorian Enclave. These meetings would see Aether Systems further solidified itself as a specialist in the field of Starshipwrights as the company sought to become the dominant manufacturer of Starships for the Galactic Alliance and now their new Hapan allies.

Aether Systems began the production of new Hapan Warships shortly after the Galactic Alliance and the Hapes Consortium established their new alliance, with the GADF Nova Cruiser and the GADF Battle Dragon being among the first Warships off the production lines. These were followed in short order by additional warships such as the War Drake, the Stinger, and the Stella Frigate with Aether Systems producing additional lines of Capital Ships to vary the new Hapan Naval Forces whilst also retaining the classical Miy'til line of Starfighters.

The Declaration of a State of War between the Galactic Alliance and the Mandalorian Enclave as announced by Chancellor Auteme was a windfall for Aether Systems as the company was now established within the Hapes Cluster among other Coreward Locations. The rapid production of Warships and Capital Vessels inspired by the Hapan love of Beauty would further serve to solidify the Company's status as specialists in their field as they focused more heavily on the design and production of Starships.

Aether Systems would go on to further heighten the bar with the creation of larger Hapan Warships such as the Megos-class Star Destroyer and the Neutron-class Battlecruiser. The pinnacle of their Hapan production line would be the Pulsar-class Fast Battleship which was specially designed to mix the might and brute strength of a Battleship with the speed and maneuverability of a mainline Battlecruiser.

WAR​

The formal Declaration of War issued by the Galactic Alliance had served as a windfall for Aether Systems, with conflict looming on the horizon, the corporation had begun the production of additional War Ships and Capital Vessels to supplement and ultimately replace the aged vessels of the Hapan Royal Navy; they could not have seen what was coming. Anticipating that outside influences would utilize this Declaration and the possibility of the Alliance being distracted by this conflict, Aether Systems issued an internal document known as Project Gunstar. This particular document laid out the Company's continued support of the Galactic Alliance and reinforced its commitment to assist in the production of Capital Ships, Starfighters, and other Starships for the Alliance.

However, a contingency plan was also put into action at the behest of the Project Gunstar Document; in which it outlined the support and approval for a new specialized Gunship to be made available to the Galactic Alliance, the Aether GS-01. This Gunship was developed to provide the Galactic Alliance Navy with a heavy support option to supplement its Starfighters and Corvettes in fleet formations. Project Gunstar outlined a proposed plan in which the Aether GS-01 would be made readily available for those entities outside of the Galactic Alliance that viewed the Interplanetary Government in more favorable terms; as they always say "The Enemy of my Enemy is my Friend". With this internal document put into place, the Company turned towards newer projects that would provide additional Starships to the Galactic Alliance, their Strategic Intelligence Agency, and the New Jedi Order respectively.

Additional production lines developed immediately after the formal declaration of war consisted of the Chandrila-class Star Defender, the Defender-class Star Defender, and the Fresia-class Patrol Ship. These production lines had been designed to further supplement and ultimately replace older Capital Ships that had served in the Galactic Alliance Navy since before the Second Great Hyperspace Wars. The largest of these production lines are the Alliance-class Starhawks which sought to breathe new life into an older design and provide the Galactic Alliance Navy with a new line of Command Vessels for their Flag Officers.

The Mandalorian Invasion of the Galactic Alliance, though expected, had still caught the Alliance off guard, and it became clear that what prior friendship that had previously existed between the two entities was no more. Multiple Systems had been targeted by a coordinated strike which saw a vast swath of Alliance Territories carved away including the important worlds of Thyferra, Yag'Dhul, and Ukatis; and as Thyferra had been lost so too had been the Alliance's supply of Bacta. Immediately following this invasion, Aether Systems issued an additional internal document, Project Thyferra.

Project Thyferra serves as an attempt by Aether Systems to not only further ingratiate itself with the Galactic Alliance; its establishment is also intended to further strengthen the confidence of the Corporation held by citizens of the Alliance. The document itself established the planned action of Aether Systems to secure a source of Medical equipment, resources, droids, and materials to ultimately be distributed to those Systems that had been struck the hardest in the Invasion. Furthermore, the document also provided a tentative plan to establish a Medical Subsidiary and provide further medical or financial assistance to those in need. The establishment of this document ultimately led to the approval and production of both the Bacta-class Medical Frigate and the Kolto-class Medical Shuttle lines of Civilian Starships to render assistance in those Systems affected by the Mandalorian Invasion.

Immediately following the establishment of Project Thyferra; Aether Systems further developed additional Starfighters such as the TX-05-A1 X-wing and the RZ-5 A-wing for the Galactic Alliance, and more specifically to be utilized by the famed Revenant Squadron. Additional production lines that saw development and deployment to the Galactic Alliance Navy included the Ackbar-class MC80a Star Defender and the Raddus-class Star Defender.
