The technology to mate a [[DropShip]] externally to a JumpShip was something that [[Blue Nose Interstellar Technologies]] of [[Terra|Mars]] had developed in collaboration with the Department of Theoretical Physics at Mars University and a number of independent aerospace manufacturing companies. The ''Olympus'' was the first JumpShip to have the resilient, thin shape that all modern JumpShips would adopt, and was constructed specifically to demonstrate the new technology; in [[2458]] the ''Olympus''—designated the BNS ''Olympus''—entered history when she successfully executed a jump safely with the DropShip [[Nimbus III|DCS ''Nimbus III'']] docked externally.<ref name="XTRO:P3p15"/> ''(Note: "DCS" in this context apparently stands for Deimos Clipperships Ship, not for a Draconis Combine Ship.)''

It was in [[2469]] that the first twelve ''Liberty''-class JumpShips based upon the ''Olympus'' were sold to the [[Terran Hegemony]], and a month later Blue Nose Interstellar Technologies had an order book filled with enough production orders to fill the next ten years, as well as contracts with eighteen different spaceship manufacturers—seven JumpShip producers and eleven DropShip manufacturers—supply docking collars and K-F booms to enable them to design and manufacture their own modern vessels. Blue Nose then used the profits from those preorders to merge with six partner companies, forming [[Blue Nose Clipperships]], and to construct the second-largest shipyard in the Terran system, located above Mars.<ref name="XTRO:P3p15"/>
