Overview

Once a major player in the naval manufacturing area, Deller-Bingham-Fouts suffered from labor disputes and a series of industrial accidents that were traced to component failure. By 3060, the company was in receivership. Appointed by the Free Worlds Central Bank, CEO Alenka Simonov-Shah had been looking for a buyer, and though several companies were interested in the staff and production lines, they were put off by the company's name, fearing it would destroy their reputations. Simonov-Shah had the power to split up the company and sell it piecemeal, though by 3067 she hadn't done so yet. The League Central Coordination and Command ordered the company to honor existing orders for the Gazelle, Hannibal, and Mammoth.[1]

During the Jihad the company's Atreus plant lost half its capital and workforce, but by 3079 it was able to run its production lines at 75% of their maximum capacity.[2]
