As a first step, he appelead to Mr. Thaddeus Gideon in order to buy, from Ageira Technologies, a building on Planet Denver, for their offices.

Synopsis

HiTech Research is a private company specialized in research and development of parts for Trade Lane and Jump Gate Network, which completely revolutionised travel throughout the Sirius sectors, when was implemented by one of the "Big Three" Liberty's corporations, Ageira Technologies. Also, this company is involved in the manufacturing of the Havoc Mk II civilian bombers and new medium sized arms, being focused to gain the trust on the market for its products.

History

1st Century

Year (A.S.) Event
44 In accordance with the chronological records of its history, Ageira Technologies was created initially under the name of Valhalla Research, with backing from the Liberty government, in order to research materials and to discover a way for the miniaturization of the same drive technology that was used by Alliance to power the great sleeper ships, in travel from the old Sol to Sirius.
96 After five decades of studying, with the arrival of the LCC Einstein in Rheinland, was made possible the first real-time communication, through a series of Faster Than Light relay buoys and Valhalla's new "Valhalla drive technology," was exchanged for Rheinland's advanced information on construction technology.

2nd Century

Year (A.S.) Event
106 After the arrival of the LCC Edison in Bretonia, a new deal was made over the new communications link with the consent of the Liberty government and Bretonia exchanges it's advances in materials technology for the new engine designs.
120 Valhalla Research invents the orbital Docking Ring, using advanced materials technology recently gained through trading of the "Valhalla drive technology". Using superstrong crystalline polymers and frictionless bearings, these docking rings have revolutioned the way through ships are launched from a planet into space. When are connected to orbital docking rings, these materials are used to create an "elevator" that almost completely negate the high costs of launch and landing, providing a controlled entry or exit through planet's atmosphere. This technology is licensed also to other houses, being considered a huge step for exploration and commercial exploitation of the systems from all main houses. After the success of their last project, in a secret meeting with the Order of Cincinnatus, the highest ranking board members of Valhalla Research planning the initiation of a new ambitious project. According with this plan, using the research that was made on Valhalla 1, an artificial structure constructed by the Daam-K'Vosh and placed in the mountains on Planet Manhattan, the "Project Jump Gate" would be completed in fifty years. The idea it was to create a Jump Gate that could make it possible a extremely fast travel between two different systems, with amazing benefits in the humanity’s development, limited until then by the time necessary to perform this kind of travel.
126 Valhalla Research announces building a major research facility in the Texas system and began to expand its operations in this system. Two years later, the construction of the Dallas Research Station is completed. This base was used in the research of "Project Jump Gate" but also in other secret projects, in collaboration with the Liberty Navy.
130 In this year recorded one of the most important events in all of human history: first test of a Jump Gate. Houston residents from the northern hemisphere have mentioned something about a bright flash, like a meteor streaking across the sky at exactly 15:34 HST and... nothing more. This flash was a small drone leaping across many light years of space, in the blink of an eye. But several weeks later, Valhalla Research received a telemetry signal from the drone, indicating that it is intact and survived in this the jump. Testing of this "Prototype Jump Gate" was a success and marked the dawning of a new age.
155 Valhalla Research change its name to Ageira Technologies.
175 Is conducted the first full scale test of a Jump Gate, between Texas and Alaska.
181 Universal Shipping signs a contract with Ageira Technologies for handling Jump Gate parts.
185 The President of Liberty unveils the Jump Gate project to the public and immediately, the other houses of Sirius began to conduct business deals with Ageira Technologies to purchase its revolutionary technology. A deal was signed with Sirius Shipping to transport the Gate Parts between Ageira’s R&D labs and the construction projects being built by Deep Space Engineering.
189 Is opened the first official jump gate between Colorado and New York. In the following years construction would begin on more gates.

3rd Century

Year (A.S.) Event
207 The systems of New York and California would be connected. With most of Liberty connected with Jump Gates, Ageira Technologies began construction a Manufacturing Facility in Colorado.
215 Is completed the construction of the Manufacturing Facility from Colorado system., having a crucial role in the mass production of Jump Gate components to meet the high demand. 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.
218 Because of the capitalisation of the entire industry by Ageira Technologies and Deep Space Engineering, Interspace Commerce was formed to offer loans and assist in the financing of jump gate construction.
238 Ageira Technologies headquarters is moved from Manhattan to Los Angeles.
280 This year is also one with a important significance in the history of the modern era because Ageira Technologies introduces something almost as miraculous as the Jump Gates revealed almost a century ago, their next advance in technology, using a variation of the jump gate architecture: Trade Lanes. The first trade lane was established through a joint venture between Monument Engineering and Valhalla Research.

4th to 5th Century

Year (A.S.) Event
350 Most of Liberty space was crisscrossed by trade lanes, being used for superluminal travel within a system. Through financing from Interspace Commerce, the Trade Lane Network was rapidly extended into the other colonies, helping to create a truly sector-wide economy. The demand for Gate parts began to shrink and the demand for Lane parts increased.
420 The Ageira Technologies facility in Colorado decreased its production of Jump Gate components and concentrated on producing Trade Lane components.

6th to 7th Century

Year (A.S.) Event
500 In this year was registered one of darkest moments from the humans history and is known as the year of the "Texas Incident". The Ageira Technologies scientists aboard the Dallas Research Station, began the second phase of testing a new, long-range jump gate, in the hope that will discover a new way to travel in the entire galaxy, beyond the Sirius Sector, being a unique opportunity for the exploration of new places. Unfortunately, their attempt was a disaster. An unforeseen concentration of dark matter along the jump route created a feedback wave that expelled huge masses of dark matter and radioactivity, destroying the Dallas and everyone from aboard. A quarantine was immediately erected across half the system but the entire Texas system was decimated. The jump gate itself sank into a monstrous singularity that still hangs at the edge of the Texas. After this incident, Ageira Technologies stayed quiet more than 100 years.
614 Is opened in New York, the Detroit Munitions Depot, in order to manufacture small and medium arms for Navy and Police, but also for any other independent buyer.
