Dow-Nexus Fusion Products

Template:InfoBoxManufacturer

Dow-Nexus Fusion Products is a Draconis Combine manufacturer of fusion engines, both standard and extralight. Their engines are used in many units procured by the DCMS and DCA.

Overview

In the early 31st century a small underground movement named the "Holy Struggle" attempted to shut down the Dow-Nexus Fusion Products factories because they were unsafe for their employees, causing many unnecessary deaths. Though the ISF had several informers and agents in place to destroy the Holy Struggle they didn't actually do so because the Dragon also wanted to chastise Dow-Nexus.[1]

In 3071 the main production facility lost many workers and capital when Word of Blake forces breached the dome over Mitiq. Six years later, elements of the Black Dragon Society attacked Quandahar, and the repair work that had been completed was interrupted again.[2] As a result of losing approximately two-thirds of its workforce, in 3079 the factory was reduced to 60% of its pre-Jihad output.[3]
