Character
- Lanas Aerospace Works -
Headquarters - Hafnip orbital habitats.
Locations - Factories, sales outlets and administrative centers located in many large Miln habitats.
Operations - Starships and related components, atmospheric craft.
Rationale - Lanas Aerospace Works was created to build ships, power units, propulsion systems and other aerospace-related equipment for sale within Miln space. The company supplies much of its output to the Hafnip Federation government, with outstanding contracts to supply vessels and related equipment to the Hafnip Federation Defensive Navy and Miln Astrogational Corps, as well as many other smaller state organizations. They also do brisk business on the local civilian market, though their products are not usually offered for export.
Milo Tyranne has no personal connection to or influence over Lanas Aerospace Works, except as a member of the Miln Astrogational Corps and occasional customer.

Description -
Lanas Aerospace Works is the preeminent shipbuilder of Miln space. Incorporated during the early days of the species' colonization of space, LAW was originally based on one of Hafnip's twin moons, Lanas, and has since expanded to establish shipyards and factories in or near many Miln habitats, with an at least minor manufacturing and sales presence at every Miln settlement exceeding 10,000 individuals. This highly distributed network of factories and dealerships is based on the HSA model, and is meant to ensure that all significant Miln settlements have the ability to produce at least their own light spacecraft for local use, such as the light work pods essential for the maintenance and repair of Miln space habitats.
The 330-55 hull-form, upon which many large LAW designs are based.
Since the Miln-Imperial war some 840 years ago, LAW has been partially state owned, with the Hafnip Federation government owning a 51% share. The company has longstanding relationships with various state organizations, most significantly the Hafnip Federation Defensive Navy and the Miln Astrogational Corps. A large portion of the company's material output is devoted to contracts for these two agencies.
Of particular note is the company's iconic 330-55 keel, power and propulsion package, upon which many Miln deep-space vessels are based, including the MAC's Type 99 SHI, widely known as the first Miln vessel much of the Galaxy sees, and the workhorse of Miln exploration.
Aside from its large deep-space ships and their related paraphernalia, though, LAW also produces more mundane products for the space-bound Miln. Along with the aforementioned work pods, it also produces smaller intra-system craft, as well as atmospheric craft such as reentry shuttles and air vehicles for use in Miln space habitats or on planetary colonies.
Though small on the Galactic scale, LAW is among the largest such companies in Miln space.
