− The company was headquartered on Station Alpha, a satellite in orbit of [[Terra]]. Other major company facilities included [[Keid]], [[Thorin]], [[Terra Firma]], and [[Yorii]]. Though it was a primary supplier of the SLDF, the company also wished to do business with the other [[Great Houses]], which put it in conflict with the League. During the designing of the ''[[Behemoth (DropShip class)|Behemoth]]'' and ''[[Mammoth]]'' [[DropShips]], the company was assured that it could sell the designs to foreign markets. However, when prototypes of both ships made their maiden flights in [[2658]], the government immediately put them on the advanced-technology blacklist, limiting their sale to the Hegemony and creating financial hardship for the company. Two years later, both prototypes were stolen from their moorings above Keid. The Hegemony government, realizing the prototypes would be copied and sold anyway, relented and allowed Krester's to sell to foreigners.<ref name=SLp165/> + The company was headquartered on Station Alpha, a satellite in orbit of [[Terra]].
