S. L. Lewis Incorporated
Sarna News
Overview
S. L. Lewis Incorporated was founded in 3017 by Senior Warrant Officer Samuel Lewis. Warrant Officer Lewis' crew found a cache of Lostech, and he claimed a supply of small Omni 25 fusion engines as his share.[1] Lewis then spent the next few years perfecting a new scout hovercraft for the LCAF. The Savannah Master became a popular design with both the LCAF and the AFFS.[1]
The supply of 2,000 Omni 25 fusion engines Samuel Lewis had recovered from the LosTech cache wasn't enough to meet the demand for vehicles generated by the Fourth Succession War, and in 3035 Lewis sought interest from Fusion Engine manufacturers across the Lyran Commonwealth willing to attempt to reverse-engineer the Omni 25. Lewis gave away the last ten Omni 25 engines he owned to help drive interest in this project, and in 3037 Edasich Motors had been able to produce a new production-standard compatible engine, the Edasich Omni 25. The S. L. Lewis Inc. lines were retooled to accept the Edasich Omni 25, and full vehicle production recommenced. As a result, S. L. Lewis would sell thousands of vehicles between 3037 and the end of the FedCom Civil War.[2]
With the popularity of the Savannah Master line, S.L. Lewis Inc. expanded its facilities into engine production to ensure a steady supply of engines. They also expanded into the civilian market, producing a Fuel Cell powered hovercar.[1]
During the Jihad the facility on Carlisle suffered no losses of capital and personnel, and has a full production volume of 100% in 3079.[3]
Leadership
The CEO of S.L. Lewis Incorporated in 3067 was Sam Lewis, Jr. He expanded the company's offerings into commercial hovercraft and hydrofoils that use the Savannah Master's engine.[1]
