Within Ageira exists an inner board reverently known as the Great Planners. They are the blood descendants or chosen inheritors of the scientists, philanthropists, executives, and great intellectuals responsible for the planning and construction of the Sleeper Ships.
+
=== History ===
  
−
New Sleeper Ships are being constructed within Alaska and elsewhere by Ageira Technologies as authorized by the Great Planners.
+
<font size=3 face="Corbel"> First Century </font>
 +
:Founded in 44 A.S. under the name Valhalla Research the company received major backing from interests in the government and military by unveiling a breakthrough in materials research.  By studying the great sleeper ships used in travel to Sirius Valhalla Research managed to discover a way to miniaturize the same drive technology that was used in the ship, on top of that they also improved on the design by increasing the power and efficiency of the drive.  This new "Liberty Engine" allowed the travel between neighboring star systems could be accomplished in a matter of months rather then years.
  
−
For decades now, reports of disappearances of Ageira employees and associates thought dead by their relatives have been circulated by the misguided group calling themselves Lane Hackers; ex-Ageira employees without knowledge of the greater plans shaping the corporations often coldly calculated actions.
+
:In 96 A.S. with the arrival of the LCC Einstein in Rheinland the first real-time communication is made in that communication business is conducted and a technology swap is made: Valhalla's new ''"Valhalla drive technology,"'' is exchanged for Rheinland's advanced information on construction technology.  The technology would be studied but nothing interesting would come of it until the arrival of the LCC Edison in Bretonia in 106 A.S.  A deal is made with the government and Bretonia exchanges it's advances in materials technology for the new engine designs.
  
−
Perhaps, they sleep inside the great ships waiting to begin their journeys into deepest space further away from the awakened Daam-K’Vosh and their Nomad creations.
+
<font size=3 face="Corbel"> Second Century </font>
 +
:In 120 A.S. Valhalla Research revealed their latest technological wonder in 120 A.S.  Using the advanced construction and advanced materials technology gained through trading of the ''"Valhalla drive technology"'' a "Elevator" is developed, using superstrong crystalline polymers and frictionless bearings; when connected to orbital docking rings would completely negate the high costs of boosting men and materials into space, this technology revolutionizes exploration and industry almost overnight, opening up the entire New York system for commercial exploitation.  Valhalla licenses the technology to the other houses, reaping huge returns in the process.
  
−
The Order of Cincinnatus have failed. The LSF have failed. Liberty and the Great Houses have failed. The alien danger continues to reawaken as the Houses remain quarrelsome and divided.
 
  
−
Should another threat again bring humanity near brink extinction…Ageira has made plans that humanity will never extinguish from the universe.
+
:With the success of the last Valhalla project they started planning for their next great project and at a secret meeting with the Order of Cincinnatus and the highest ranking board members of Valhalla Research, they reveal their ambitious plans for ''"Project Jump Gate"'' that would be completed in fifty years.  Using the research that was made on Valhalla 1, the gate idea was created.  These gates would allow travel between two distinct points in space, making it possible to travel between systems instantly instead of the many months ending the tyranny of distance which had ruled over humanity for so long.  To start this project Valhalla Research announces that they will build a major research facility in Texas.  The base would be used in the research of ''"Project Jump Gate"'' and Valhalla Research would be working with the Liberty Military on a number of secret projects.
  
−
A remnant will again flee and build a human civilization within the dark vastness.

:With the construction of the Research Station in 128 named Dallas, Valhalla Research began to expand their operations in the system and with the military declaring a large portion of space surrounding the Dallas off-limits many rumors abound as to what kind of research was being conducted around the Dallas.  In 130 A.S. one of the most historic events in all of human history was made as the Valhalla Prototype Jump Gate was tested, Houston residents in the northern hemisphere would have seen a bright flash, like a meteor streaking across the sky at exactly 15:34 HST ...and then nothing.  The flash was a small drone leaping across the light years in the blink of an eye.  It was the first successful test and the dawning of a new age.
 +
 
 +
:'''In 155 A.S. Valhalla Research becomes Ageira Technologies.'''
 +
 
 +
:In 180 A.S. just over 50 years after the first test of the Jump Gate the first full-scale jump between Texas and Alaska would be conducted, and five years later in 185 a ceremony that is broadcast throughout the Sirius sector.  The President of Liberty unveils the jump gate project to the public, and almost immediately the other houses of Sirius begin to conduct business deals with the Ageira to purchase the technology and a deal is signed with Sirius Shipping to transport the gate parts between the R&D labs of Ageira and construction projects being built by Deep Space Engineering.
 +
 
 +
<font size=3 face="Corbel"> Third to Fifth Century </font>
 +
:In 189 A.S. The first official jump gates are built between New York and Colorado, opening up the mineral riches of the Colorado systems to the rest of Liberty.  In the following years construction would begin on more gates and in 207 the systems of New York and California would be connected, and with most of Liberty connected with Jump Gates Ageira began construction a Manufacturing Facility in Colorado.  This facility would be crucial in the mass production of jump gate components to meet the high demand.  The facility would be completed in 215 A.S and begin the exporting of parts to the other houses to connect systems of their own.  As mass production of the gates moves into high gear, funding becomes an issue for many foreign corporations and governments who wish to build routes of their own, because of this Ageira Technologies and Deep Space Engineering capitalize a whole independent entity in 218 and Interspace Commerce is formed to offer loans and assist in the financing of jump gate construction.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
:In 280 A.S. Ageira Technologies introduces their next advance in technology, the advance which was almost as miraculous as the jump gates revealed almost a century ago.  The ''"Trade Lanes"'' using a variation of the jump gate architecture could be built along a arbitrary route through systems to accelerate ships to superluminal velocities.  These trade lanes would assist in commercial trading within systems and used with the Jump gates a sector wide economy was created.  Eventually the demand for Gate parts began to shrink and the demand for lane parts increased because of this in 420 A.S. the Ageira Technologies facility in Colorado downshifted its production of jump gate components and concentrated on producing trade lane components.
 +
 
 +
<font size=3 face="Corbel"> Sixth Century to Seventh Century </font>
 +
:In 500 A.S. the Ageira Technologies scientists aboard the Dallas began the second phase of testing a new, long-range jump gate that would have allowed travel beyond the Sirius Sector.  Unfortunately, a concentration of dark matter along the jump route created a feedback wave that destroyed the Dallas and everyone aboard, and expelled huge masses of dark matter throughout the system.  A quarantine was immediately erected across half the system.  The prototype gate sank into a monstrous singularity that is still there today.  With the Texas system scarred Ageira Technologies withdrew most of their operations from the system.  After the Texas Incident, Ageira Technologies stayed quiet until the opening of the Detroit Munitions Depot in New York in 614.  It specialized in the manufacture of small and medium arms supplying the Military, Police and independent buyers who became frequent customers. 
 +
 
 +
<font size=3 face="Corbel"> Eighth to Ninth Century </font>
 +
:In 700 A.S, Ageira Technologies and Interspace Commerce became partners to develop the ''"RTS"'' or ''"Real Time Scanner"'' which would scan cargo passing through the jump gates and trade lanes; by attaching a Universal Ship Identification number to every vessel and piece of cargo, goverments could automatically scan for contraband while Interspace Commerce could more accurately assess insurance fees.  The new scanners begin production at the Ageira Technologies Facility in Colorado.  Ageira Technologies continued to gain profit from Gate and Lane parts as well as it's other facilities in the ninth century, and to this day is the only supplier of the components with the exception of DSE.

 +
 
 +
=== [[Planet Los Angeles|Planet Los Angeles, California]] ===
 +
:Is the location of Ageira Technologies Headquarters. With the majority of the planet covered in deep salt water oceans and gorgeous, white sand beaches, Los Angeles was popular with the wealthy and privileged of Manhattan, before the terraforming efforts failed during the Great California Drought of 543 A.S. The ocean water was discovered to be unusable due to a chemical that, although it is completely harmless to humans besides from tasting foul, fatally disrupts the growth of crops and certain species of terrestrial animals. The available water supplies from the Tahoe and Sierra ice clouds were quickly running out, and as a result it was becoming ever more expensive to ship water into the California system.
 +
 
 +
:Over the course of the following century, most of Los Angeles' population subsequently emigrated to planet Denver in the Colorado system, with only those who did not want to move, or couldn't afford to, remaining behind. A large portion of the remaining industry relied heavily on farming genetically modified livestock that are able to process the chemical in the water, although a number of corporations still retained offices on Los Angeles, including Universal Shipping's corporate training academy.
 +
 
 +
:It wasn't until Synth Foods perfected their patented and hugely popular Synth Paste, created from a genetically engineered plant similar to that of the Earth Kelp, that the planetary economy resurged. The resulting success of the new food paste prompted Synth Foods to relocate their headquarters to Los Angeles, and the booming technology market has also encouraged Ageira Technologies to construct an optical chip plant here. With all the new jobs available on the planet, coupled with the recently opened trade lane to the Ontario jump gate, the population of Los Angeles has jumped to over 360 million, and the increasing prosperity promises a brighter future for the entire California system.
 +
 
 +
=== [[Planet Denver|Planet Denver, Colorado]] ===
 +
:Was originally the home of miners, smelters, and shipyard workers, but these industries eventually collapsed in 600 A.S. With the declining long-term water situation in California, however, the wealthy elite of Los Angeles began to look elsewhere for a vacation spot and found Denver’s rough, beautiful vistas to be ideal. Emigration from Los Angeles and Manhattan injected new life into the Denver economy, reviving the planet even as the new upper-class assumed control of the local government. Today Cryer Pharmaceuticals maintains a major research lab on Denver, while Ageira Technologies has a planetside headquarters to oversee its interests in the system. Liberty Police, Inc. (LPI) is well paid by Colorado's new elite to handle security.
 +
 
 +
=== [[Pueblo Station|Pueblo Station, Colorado]] ===
 +
:Is the a Ageira Technologies manufacturing facility. '''Notice:''' All ships should be aware that Ageira Technologies facilities are protected by private security authorized to use deadly force against any deviation from standard flight procedures.
 +
 
 +
=== [[Detroit Munitions|Detroit Munitions, New York]] ===
 +
:Is the headquarters for Ageira Technologies, one of the oldest privately owned companies in Liberty. Detroit has been manufacturing small and medium-sized arms since its founding by patriarch Ed Garner in 614 AS. His name still graces the company’s most popular line of blasters.
 +
 
 +
=== [[Hamilton Station|Hamilton Station, Ontario]] ===
 +
:Is residing on the outskirts of Lawrence Ice Field, the Hamilton Station houses production facilities of Ageira Technologies. Hamilton was constructed to provide enough supplies for nearby mining operations, as well as for station building sites, and possible future trade lane and jump gate construction sites.
 +
 
 +
=== [[Leduc Station|Leduc Station, Alberta]] ===
 +
:Ageira's newest space station, it focusses on the production of Bio-Neural Processors.

Overview

Ageira technologies is one of the "Big Three" of Liberty's business world, they are the leading company in research and development. With the high demand of expanding ones borders Ageira Technologies has become quite the powerhouse as the only producer of Jump Gate and trade lane parts, and along side Deep Space Engineering the company remains the only other transporter of Jump Gate and trade lane parts to all of the houses of Sirius. On top of that they are the inventors of the "Valhalla drive technology", and many produce commodities such as light arms, super alloys, and Super Conductors.

Goals

  • Increase the revenue and profit the company is making.
  • Research & develop new technology which can be sold to the houses of Sirius.
  • Produce and export Ageira Technologies goods and products.
  • Continue to be one of only manufacturer of trade/lane components.
  • Complete join research projects with other companies and houses.

History

First Century

Founded in 44 A.S. under the name Valhalla Research the company received major backing from interests in the government and military by unveiling a breakthrough in materials research. By studying the great sleeper ships used in travel to Sirius Valhalla Research managed to discover a way to miniaturize the same drive technology that was used in the ship, on top of that they also improved on the design by increasing the power and efficiency of the drive. This new "Liberty Engine" allowed the travel between neighboring star systems could be accomplished in a matter of months rather then years.
In 96 A.S. with the arrival of the LCC Einstein in Rheinland the first real-time communication is made in that communication business is conducted and a technology swap is made: Valhalla's new "Valhalla drive technology," is exchanged for Rheinland's advanced information on construction technology. The technology would be studied but nothing interesting would come of it until the arrival of the LCC Edison in Bretonia in 106 A.S. A deal is made with the government and Bretonia exchanges it's advances in materials technology for the new engine designs.

Second Century

In 120 A.S. Valhalla Research revealed their latest technological wonder in 120 A.S. Using the advanced construction and advanced materials technology gained through trading of the "Valhalla drive technology" a "Elevator" is developed, using superstrong crystalline polymers and frictionless bearings; when connected to orbital docking rings would completely negate the high costs of boosting men and materials into space, this technology revolutionizes exploration and industry almost overnight, opening up the entire New York system for commercial exploitation. Valhalla licenses the technology to the other houses, reaping huge returns in the process.


With the success of the last Valhalla project they started planning for their next great project and at a secret meeting with the Order of Cincinnatus and the highest ranking board members of Valhalla Research, they reveal their ambitious plans for "Project Jump Gate" that would be completed in fifty years. Using the research that was made on Valhalla 1, the gate idea was created. These gates would allow travel between two distinct points in space, making it possible to travel between systems instantly instead of the many months ending the tyranny of distance which had ruled over humanity for so long. To start this project Valhalla Research announces that they will build a major research facility in Texas. The base would be used in the research of "Project Jump Gate" and Valhalla Research would be working with the Liberty Military on a number of secret projects.


With the construction of the Research Station in 128 named Dallas, Valhalla Research began to expand their operations in the system and with the military declaring a large portion of space surrounding the Dallas off-limits many rumors abound as to what kind of research was being conducted around the Dallas. In 130 A.S. one of the most historic events in all of human history was made as the Valhalla Prototype Jump Gate was tested, Houston residents in the northern hemisphere would have seen a bright flash, like a meteor streaking across the sky at exactly 15:34 HST ...and then nothing. The flash was a small drone leaping across the light years in the blink of an eye. It was the first successful test and the dawning of a new age.
In 155 A.S. Valhalla Research becomes Ageira Technologies.
In 180 A.S. just over 50 years after the first test of the Jump Gate the first full-scale jump between Texas and Alaska would be conducted, and five years later in 185 a ceremony that is broadcast throughout the Sirius sector. The President of Liberty unveils the jump gate project to the public, and almost immediately the other houses of Sirius begin to conduct business deals with the Ageira to purchase the technology and a deal is signed with Sirius Shipping to transport the gate parts between the R&D labs of Ageira and construction projects being built by Deep Space Engineering.

Third to Fifth Century

In 189 A.S. The first official jump gates are built between New York and Colorado, opening up the mineral riches of the Colorado systems to the rest of Liberty. In the following years construction would begin on more gates and in 207 the systems of New York and California would be connected, and with most of Liberty connected with Jump Gates Ageira began construction a Manufacturing Facility in Colorado. This facility would be crucial in the mass production of jump gate components to meet the high demand. The facility would be completed in 215 A.S and begin the exporting of parts to the other houses to connect systems of their own. As mass production of the gates moves into high gear, funding becomes an issue for many foreign corporations and governments who wish to build routes of their own, because of this Ageira Technologies and Deep Space Engineering capitalize a whole independent entity in 218 and Interspace Commerce is formed to offer loans and assist in the financing of jump gate construction.


In 280 A.S. Ageira Technologies introduces their next advance in technology, the advance which was almost as miraculous as the jump gates revealed almost a century ago. The "Trade Lanes" using a variation of the jump gate architecture could be built along a arbitrary route through systems to accelerate ships to superluminal velocities. These trade lanes would assist in commercial trading within systems and used with the Jump gates a sector wide economy was created. Eventually the demand for Gate parts began to shrink and the demand for lane parts increased because of this in 420 A.S. the Ageira Technologies facility in Colorado downshifted its production of jump gate components and concentrated on producing trade lane components.

Sixth Century to Seventh Century

In 500 A.S. the Ageira Technologies scientists aboard the Dallas began the second phase of testing a new, long-range jump gate that would have allowed travel beyond the Sirius Sector. Unfortunately, a concentration of dark matter along the jump route created a feedback wave that destroyed the Dallas and everyone aboard, and expelled huge masses of dark matter throughout the system. A quarantine was immediately erected across half the system. The prototype gate sank into a monstrous singularity that is still there today. With the Texas system scarred Ageira Technologies withdrew most of their operations from the system. After the Texas Incident, Ageira Technologies stayed quiet until the opening of the Detroit Munitions Depot in New York in 614. It specialized in the manufacture of small and medium arms supplying the Military, Police and independent buyers who became frequent customers.

Eighth to Ninth Century

In 700 A.S, Ageira Technologies and Interspace Commerce became partners to develop the "RTS" or "Real Time Scanner" which would scan cargo passing through the jump gates and trade lanes; by attaching a Universal Ship Identification number to every vessel and piece of cargo, goverments could automatically scan for contraband while Interspace Commerce could more accurately assess insurance fees. The new scanners begin production at the Ageira Technologies Facility in Colorado. Ageira Technologies continued to gain profit from Gate and Lane parts as well as it's other facilities in the ninth century, and to this day is the only supplier of the components with the exception of DSE.

Bases

Planet Los Angeles, California

Is the location of Ageira Technologies Headquarters. With the majority of the planet covered in deep salt water oceans and gorgeous, white sand beaches, Los Angeles was popular with the wealthy and privileged of Manhattan, before the terraforming efforts failed during the Great California Drought of 543 A.S. The ocean water was discovered to be unusable due to a chemical that, although it is completely harmless to humans besides from tasting foul, fatally disrupts the growth of crops and certain species of terrestrial animals. The available water supplies from the Tahoe and Sierra ice clouds were quickly running out, and as a result it was becoming ever more expensive to ship water into the California system.
Over the course of the following century, most of Los Angeles' population subsequently emigrated to planet Denver in the Colorado system, with only those who did not want to move, or couldn't afford to, remaining behind. A large portion of the remaining industry relied heavily on farming genetically modified livestock that are able to process the chemical in the water, although a number of corporations still retained offices on Los Angeles, including Universal Shipping's corporate training academy.
It wasn't until Synth Foods perfected their patented and hugely popular Synth Paste, created from a genetically engineered plant similar to that of the Earth Kelp, that the planetary economy resurged. The resulting success of the new food paste prompted Synth Foods to relocate their headquarters to Los Angeles, and the booming technology market has also encouraged Ageira Technologies to construct an optical chip plant here. With all the new jobs available on the planet, coupled with the recently opened trade lane to the Ontario jump gate, the population of Los Angeles has jumped to over 360 million, and the increasing prosperity promises a brighter future for the entire California system.

Planet Denver, Colorado

Was originally the home of miners, smelters, and shipyard workers, but these industries eventually collapsed in 600 A.S. With the declining long-term water situation in California, however, the wealthy elite of Los Angeles began to look elsewhere for a vacation spot and found Denver’s rough, beautiful vistas to be ideal. Emigration from Los Angeles and Manhattan injected new life into the Denver economy, reviving the planet even as the new upper-class assumed control of the local government. Today Cryer Pharmaceuticals maintains a major research lab on Denver, while Ageira Technologies has a planetside headquarters to oversee its interests in the system. Liberty Police, Inc. (LPI) is well paid by Colorado's new elite to handle security.

Pueblo Station, Colorado

Is the a Ageira Technologies manufacturing facility. Notice: All ships should be aware that Ageira Technologies facilities are protected by private security authorized to use deadly force against any deviation from standard flight procedures.

Detroit Munitions, New York

Is the headquarters for Ageira Technologies, one of the oldest privately owned companies in Liberty. Detroit has been manufacturing small and medium-sized arms since its founding by patriarch Ed Garner in 614 AS. His name still graces the company’s most popular line of blasters.

Hamilton Station, Ontario

Is residing on the outskirts of Lawrence Ice Field, the Hamilton Station houses production facilities of Ageira Technologies. Hamilton was constructed to provide enough supplies for nearby mining operations, as well as for station building sites, and possible future trade lane and jump gate construction sites.

Leduc Station, Alberta

Ageira's newest space station, it focusses on the production of Bio-Neural Processors.
