Praxton Fusion Products Limited
Overview
Praxton Fusion Products Limited is a key manufacturer of fusion engines. As Praxton's products are so important to the Outworlds Alliance, there is a standing order that the planet will never be undefended.[1] Though the planet was attacked by several mercenary and pirate bands at the start of the Jihad, it wasn't attacked by the Word of Blake-sponsored terrorist groups like the United Outworlders Corporation. To assist other Alliance planets ravaged by the Jihad, Praxton voluntarily diverted some of its profits to fund reconstruction efforts.[1]
The plant lost no personnel and was operating at full production capability in 3079.[2]
As of 3067, Praxton's CEO was Ms. Tori Wilbury.[3]

Notes
The Nissan 245 fusion engine is likely in error, given the history of this particular entry: In the old (unrevised) Technical Readout: 3026, the Hunter tank was erroneously listed to have a "Magna 245" engine, while the stats actually called for a class 175 engine; in the Technical Readout: 3026 Revised, the Hunter is described to have a "175 Magna 245 Fusion" Power Plant in the text, while the stat page clearly states that it has a class 175 engine. Although no official ruling was made on the issue (other than that the entry should be taken "with a grain of salt", according to the assistant line developer), one author said that the wrong engine rating was likely missed in fact-checking and carried over to Objective Raids when it was compiled, and is the reason why the factory was (erroneously) written to produce a class 245 engine for the Hunter.[5]
From the wording of the text, it could be assumed that "Nissan 245" is in fact the brand name for the class 175 fusion engine produced here.
