"Style among the stars." ― Taiyo Astroneering slogan
Taiyō Astroneering is a ship manufacturing corporation in the Settled Systems. It is a subsidiary of Ryujin Industries, and its headquarters is located in Ryujin Tower in Neon.
Overview[]
Taiyō Astroneering was established in Neon sometime in the 23rd century, with its founders seeking to create a new kind ship that reflected and complemented the vibrancy of the city in its visual design. The company achieved immense success, and until the rise of Stroud-Eklund in the years after the Colony War, it was considered to be the manufacturer of the most advanced ships in the Settled Systems. Although Stroud-Eklund has stolen much of Taiyō Astroneering's thunder, its ships remain highly respected, as well as in high demand. Taiyō ships are popularly regarded as the perfect marriage of form and function, and some enthusiasts extol them as works of art. Critics, however, assert that Taiyō has become focused on ship aesthetics to the detriment of overall performance and reliability.
In 2310, Simon Taiyo assented to Taiyō Astroneering's acquisition by Ryujin Industries, and the starship company became Ryujin's first subsidiary.
Taiyō introduced a significant ship engine fuel efficiency upgrade to its model lines produced after 2327. This upgrade has since become a new industry standard that has been adopted by all staryards.[1]
Taiyō Astroneering employ a distributed model of development, with core engineering being conducted by their primary R&D department on Neon. R&D head Dara Ulrecht is considered one of the leading ship designers in the Settled Systems. As of 2330, Ulrecht is developing new ship thruster designs and improvements.[2]
