Synopsis
Daumann Heavy Construction is the largest mining and manufacturing firm in Rheinland Producing both military and civillian ships, as well as weapons.
History
Daumann Heavy Construction is the largest mining and manufacturing firm in Rheinland. We used to be the only approved vendor for the military and police, we built their ships and we produced their equipment. During the 80-Years War, we enjoyed a position of utmost supremacy in the Rheinland corporate world. We were unchallenged for military contracts and controlled a fair portion of civil ones as well. However, the events at the end of the war splintered the entire infrastructure. Alongside internal troubles, Republican Shipping took an iron hold of the transport market, and Kruger shifted its operations to compete with us in the Omegas. While Kruger would never recover from its losses in the 80-Years War, they still remain a solid competitor. We went from a monopoly to a company struggling to retain previously unchallenged markets.
While challenges present themselves at every turn, all is not lost. We will expand into new markets, and begin retaking businesses previously ours. We will reduce our reliance on Republican’s price-gouging, and make sure they do not run unchecked in the Rheinland trade market. As resources dwindle, we will continue to search for new mining fields. We will brave the dangers of the far Omegas and even the Omicrons if we must. We will retake our place as the only corporation Rheinland needs.
Our Goals:
As the most powerful and important firm in Rheinland, it is our duty to maintain Rheinland's place in the Sirius economy. We will ensure that there is a constant supply of our products to be used at home and exported throughout the colonies, and to this end we will continue to expand into new mining fields. We will make jobs for the Rheinland people, and we will produce only the best products. We will never stop growing, and we will never stop providing our customers with the finest ships and weapons in all of Sirius.

Territorial hostilities
The rich mining fields in the Omega systems has attracted an assorted group of workers, leading to territorial engagements between Daumann and what they call "Foreign Intruders". Omega 7 and Omega 11 systems are specially protected by the Patrol Wing; an elite force dedicated to keep the mining fields safe from intruders and allow only Rheinland coorporations to mine, being specially jealous of the Cobalt field near Briesen, some members of the Patrol Wing have been seen destroying IMG, miner IDed civillians, and the rare BMM miners. Even captains of the transport and mining wing and pilots of the standard escort wing attack these enemy miners without mercy. The territorial campaign has been so effective, that many miners prefer to leave the area when a DHC enters the system.
Wings/Fleet
Mining Fleet
Dedicated to extract resources from asteroid fields, The mining fleet is is the corner stone for Daumann Heavy Construction, the resources extracted are then processed, refined, and used to build ships and weapons; without the mining fleet none of the products sold by Daumann could be done. Miner captains are highly experienced in the field, they are trained in the New Berlin simulator to withstand the harsh environment of the mining fields, specially the Omega 7 and 11, the jewels of of the coorporation. DHC Naming convention states that all miners must follow the template "DHC-Miner-Name". The name being of a region or planet from Rheinland or ancient Germany.
Transport Fleet
Dedicated to hauling raw and processed materials alike; half of the fleet is dedicated enitrely to aid mining operations, while the other half is usedfor hauling components, and even completely finished vehicles and products; the fleet has been center of atention from the press due to the accusations of "profitting from war"; aiding both Kusari and Bretonia by delivering military vehicles. DHC Naming convention states that all transports must follow the template "DHC-Transport-Name". The name being of a region or planet from Rheinland or ancient Germany.
Escort wing
Considered part of the transport fleet, their main job is providing security to transport convoys, however they also escort miners when the patrol wing is not available; The wing uses the civillian line of fighters and bombers with whatever equipment they have in hand; some equipment is presumed to be smuggled from military installations, however this has never been proved, and DHC appeals to the fact that such equipment is produced by them. DHC Naming convention states that all escorts must follow the template "DHC-Escort-Lastname".
Patrol Wing
Masked as part of the Mining fleet, the Patrol wing is an elite force of highly skilled pilots, supposedly in charge of defending the mining fields and the miners. The wing keeps a constant patrol on the Omega 7 and 11 systems hunting any IMG, BMM or general miner, acting aggresively to force them out of the system, even if this means destroying them and their crews. The pilots of the wing do not fly under their names, but in codes assigned by the wing command, this to keep anonimity of the ship's pilot. Despite being assigned to bases in O7 and O11 and specific mining fields, sometimes this wings are seen in other omegas frequently used by their objectives, prosecuting them and tearing their transports to pieces.
Daumann Landmarks(Just for RP purposes)
Daumann Mansion
Located in New Berlin, the mansion is a landmark of great interest by tourists and residents alike. Hundreds of years of history lie behind the reinforced plating walls and anti air defense systems of such a magnificent place. It has been target of revolutionary attacks and has survived, below lies a bunker with enough resources to accomodate the Daumann family for 5 years without resupplying, It is mainly used as a base of operations and company parties every now and then.
The Dockports
The dockports are the great hubs of the transport fleet and the escort wing. These great planetary "Airbases" are used for a variety of tasks; each one hosts a series of Simulator to train new pilots and captains, and to examine their performance on the yearly performance examinations. A dockport is also the place where new crews are assigned, after passing the simulator tests. It works as a ship warehouse, where new and old ships alike are stored waiting for reassignment or decomission. One of these dockports houses "The prison", where captured pilots are taken before being delivered directly to the Rheinland federal police or military. The Dockports are located at Hamburg, New Berlin and Holstein.
