Description AP Manufacturing is a diversified heavy industrial company based in the Edge Worlds, Omicron Rho, under the protection of The Core. The exclusive location of Omicron Rho is ideal. It is far from the prying eyes of Houses and gives AP Manufacturing the ability to conduct its R&D that normally one may consider too dangerous, unethical or immoral to undertake. Nonetheless, in the pursuit of science and evolution, there is no limit AP Manufacturing won't push past.
AP Manufacturing specialises in shipbuilding, ship breaking, station construction, modular construction, civil and military engineering, renewables, project management, logistics and most recently mining. It is the exclusive supplier of vessels, namely the AP-Line, to The Core and the Bounty Hunters' Guild. And for the right price, AP Manufacturing will sell smaller vessels of the AP-Line to commercial parties.
History
Records pointing to exactly when AP Manufacturing surfaced are as hard to define as when the Bounty Hunters Guild came into existence. It is speculated that the corporation had certainly existed before 700 A.S, that much is known at least. The corporation is very reluctant to release details of its origin, and generally prefers to keep that to themselves.
In 821 A.S when The Core and the Bounty Hunters Guild split, they were absorbed into The Core and merged with The Core's own logistical, technological and R&D divisions. When this occurred there was some outcry from those dubious as to whom AP Manufacturing was more aligned with, but AP Manufacturing insists that they were always more fans of The Core than the House Hunters due to their deep history with The Core. Whilst nowadays they operate under The Core, they still continue to make a profit by manufacturing vessels to the Bounty Hunters Guild and other interested parties.
Today, AP Manufacturing stands at the cutting edge of Sirian technology. Having helped mastermind feats such as Adapted Nomad Weaponry, reverse engineering other Nomadic equipment, as well as overseeing construction and mining projects on Planet Nauru, AP Manufacturing is helping to continually bolster the technological and economic prowess of The Core.
Divisions AP-LOGI
AP Logistics is the Logistical Division of AP Manufacturing and The Core. They often partake in large supply convoys heading in and out of the Edge Worlds as they work hard to keep The Core maintained and well supplied with sustenance. They may also make highly secure deliveries of alien artifacts, research materials, weapons and other AP- products to interested buyers within the Houses.
AP-MINE
AP Mining is AP Manufacturing and The Core's specialised Mining Division. They scour the Edge Worlds in search of resources to extract and capitalize on. Notably, AP-MINE has been positioned in the Omicron Delta system to extract Iridium from both Planet Nauru and the Palau Cloud.
AP-BUILD
AP Building is the ship and military equipment engineering division of AP Manufacturing and The Core. They are tasked with reverse-engineering the rare finds discovered in the Edge Worlds, and developing powerful new technologies from them.
AP-STAT
AP Stations are the installation, base and station construction and maintenance division of AP Manufacturing and The Core. They will generally oversee the creation and repair of The Core's own installations, as well as designing and laying the groundwork for future installations.

Products APM Advanced Hardware
APM Advanced Hardware are products of the Core's extensive research into the Nomad and AI technology found in the Edge Worlds. Packages typically include military grade augmentations, advanced power sources, research materials, combat weaponry and military equipment much more advanced and powerful than normal Sirian technology, rivalled only by Kemwer Munitions. While House Governments publicly denounce further research into alien technologies, Military and Intelligence branches are always very interested in superior technologies - especially when they are engaged in conflicts. Therefore, House affiliated research facilities will pay handsomely for these goods. Purchasable at Alabama Shipyard.
