Rashpur-Owens Incorporated is a DropShip and JumpShip manufacturer based in the Capellan Confederation.
Overview
Founded January 2nd, 2698, Rashpur-Owens Incorporated was the only functional orbital construction yard capable of building JumpShips left in the Confederation after the devastation of the early Succession Wars. While its survival and continued production were a symbol of Capellan pride, the decrepit and disintegrating yards earned the derisive nickname of the "Citizen's Crutch" due to the costs of producing a mere handful of completed ships was far beyond the marked-up prices to purchase vessels built in other realms.[1]
This changed after Riley Doh rose to chairmanship of the company in 3051. A self-made man who earned his citizenship by working in the yards, Doh used the small amount of free capital available and every scrap of FoundTech he could get his hands on to upgrade the yards, doubling production by 3056. Using back-channel deals and every favor possible, he got RO selected as the site for the production of the new Lung Wang and secured plans and molds to produce the deadly Achilles.[1]
Immediately prior to the Jihad, RO's successes allowed it to secure supplementary contracts for the Necromo Shipyards in 3066 and Doh was lobbying for a license to produce the Defiance OmniFighter in 3068.[1]
During the Jihad, the Necromo Shipyards were destroyed, and analysts believe that RO will abandon their effort to rebuild the interplanetary WarShip drive facility that was moved to the Necromo system. The Word of Blake's expertise was required to get the facility running in the first place, and with that expertise no longer available, the drive facility is simply a money sink.[2] By 3081 the Confederation was still refusing to admit that it could no longer produce WarShips, but it had become increasingly obvious that there was no way that Rashpur-Owens could reproduce or retroengineer the technical knowledge to build WarShip drives, and would instead be limited to trying to repair and maintain the few WarShips still left in the Capellan navy.[3]
