Overview

HiTech Research is a private subsidiary founded at the middle of 819 A.S., in order to revive the evolution of the Ageira Technologies. Its main specialisation is research and development of parts for Trade Lane and Jump Gate Network, which completely revolutionised travels throughout the Sirius Sector, with many centuries ago. This company is involved also, in the manufacturing of the Havoc Mk II civilian bomber and development of medium sized arms, being focused to gain the trust on the market for these products.

History

  • 1st Century
In accordance with the chronological records of its history, Ageira Technologies was created in 44 A.S. 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. After five decades of studying, in 96 A.S., 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
Ten years later, 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.
In 120 A.S. 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 a "elevator" that almost completely negate the high costs of launch and landing, providing a controlled entry or exit through planet's atmosphere.
