It was updated in May 2019 to more accurately reflect the company\u2019s ships and history.\nIf it is possible for a company to merge class and sophistication with the sheer risk of spaceflight and the cold-blooded nature of interstellar dogfighting, Origin Jumpworks comes the closest. The company\u2019s extensive array of high-end spacecraft is known for their sleek and sophisticated lines. Similarly, they have cultivated an exclusive customer base from the rich and the powerful. As Origin\u2019s perfectly-manicured sales representatives eagerly point out, selecting an Origin design doesn\u2019t just mean buying a ship \u2026 it means choosing a lifestyle.\n\nOrigin was incorporated during the mid-28th century, and produced high-quality thrusters used by the UEE military and mounted on the ostentatious Roberts Space Industries star yachts. With the need for personal spacecraft growing exponentially, Origin stopped making components and made a move to compete with the companies they initially supplied. Within ten years of this transition, the company was producing a top-five selling midscale transport, and within fifty years their small and exclusive customer base had propelled Origin\u2019s gross profits to be neck and neck with RSI\u2019s spacecraft division.\n\nFounded on the banks of the Rhine in Cologne, Origin initially had strong ties to Earth, going so far as to manufacture every component for their elite 600 line in Sol. These strong ties were severed in 2913 when President Jennifer Friskers made an unexpected executive order that declared Terra as the new cultural capital of the UEE and announced intentions to move the corporate headquarters and primary design team from Earth to New Austin. Since then, almost all of Origin\u2019s manufacturing operations have left the Sol system, with only an engine testing facility remaining on Earth\u2019s moon. Government scrutiny of the company since the move has also flourished with tax issues quadrupling. In 2944, a hack of Origin\u2019s systems leaked a ship prototype called \u201cGoldfinch.\u201d An ensuing scandal implicated the Senate\u2019s Office of Executive Services (OES) in orchestrating the theft, but no formal charges were ever filed.\n\nNew Austin has since become an \u201cOrigin town,\u201d with the company holding fast as the key employer. The system has become a mecca for Origin enthusiasts, with wealthy buyers traveling across the galaxy to purchase their ships straight from the factory floor. A stunning company showcase in the center of the city highlights M50s, 300s, and 890 Jumps in a series of life-sized action dioramas that carry a significant cost to set up and display. Additionally, Origin has sponsored naming rights for local stadiums, education centers, and streets. Tourists not looking to land a luxury ship instead leave New Austin with a cocktail glass set laser-etched with the Origin logo, branded clothing, or highly detailed Takuetsu ship models.\n\nThrough the years, Origin has remained synonymous with luxury, while also delivering a diverse lineup that includes open canopy cruisers, single seat speedsters, and luxury yachts. CEO Jennifer Friskers consistently pushes the company to reinvent the wheel. She often requests that engineers and designers revisit old ideas to see if fresh eyes or modern advances might now make it Origin worthy. The result is a vast staple of ships that can address a wide variety of functions while still maintaining Origin\u2019s sleek and sophisticated style.\n\nOrigin\u2019s Luxury Line Up\nX1\nShip creation stories often mix myth and reality. Engineer Alberto Vara claimed his initial sketch for the X1 only took ten minutes. Suffering from a creative block while working on the M50, this speed sketch was merely intended to get his creative juices flowing. Once complete, it was filed away and forgotten for decades.\n\nWhen Origin decided to design an open canopy racer, an archival search uncovered the sketch. By then Vara had become one of the most celebrated astroengineers in the UEE. He twice won the Aron Award and had climbed Origin\u2019s corporate ladder to become Chief Engineer before leaving in 2932 to found Infinity Customs, a full service ship customization studio and garage. Origin decided that the only way to make the X1 was with Vara\u2019s blessing and help.\n\nOrigin and Infinity Customs collaborated on the X1 to create an open canopy craft that redefined the boundary between pilot and ship. The innovative design seamlessly integrated engine technology and joint vector thruster placement, making this high performance vehicle a truly unique flight experience.\n\n100 Series\nFamously flight tested and then abandoned, Origin scrapped the original 100 Series design due to concerns that it didn\u2019t fully embody luxury. The 200 and 300 Series took precedent and work on the 100 Series stagnated for decades. That is until the early 2940s when the company developed the state-of-the-art AIR (Adaptive Intake Refinery) fuel system. AIR significantly reduced thruster emissions and could extract and convert a wide variety of gasses into usable plasma to reduce the need to refuel.\n\nWhen early simulations showed that lighter ships would benefit the most from AIR, CEO Jennifer Friskers dusted off the 100 Series schematics. For years, she had wanted to expand the Origin lineup to include a new entry-level ship to hook consumers into the brand, but knew it would need a distinguishing feature. AIR was it. Designers integrated the revolutionary new system into the old chassis and leveraged decades spent defining the Origin style to ensure the 100 Series looked, felt, and flew like a luxury craft.\n\n300 Series\nThe current workhorse of the company\u2019s lineup (if any Origin craft can be so described) is the Origin 300 Series, a \u201cluxury class\u201d dogfighter. It is to the credit of the company that such a description is not a contradiction in terms: the smooth, aerodynamic lines of the 300i base design perfectly evokes both a flowing work of technical art and an ideal killing machine. Every element of the 300 Series feels designed, from the recessed missile mounts to the flowing metal gun attachments \u2026 and, of course, it was: thousands of hours went into the development of every individual element of this spacecraft.\n\nOrigin currently manufactures four standard 300 Series models, and offers a variety of customization options for pilots looking to personalize their ship or tailor it toward their preferences. Though the sales copy advertises that the advanced models fit any lifestyle, observers can easily ascribe specific tasks to them: the 315p, featuring long-range options and improved scanners, is the exploration model and the 325a, with heavier weapons and armor, is more combat focused. The final standard 300 Series model, not produced in large quantity but arguably the best known beyond the base, is the 350r. This dedicated speedster is used by professional racing teams around the galaxy. 350rs have a storied history, including an impressive number of Carrington Derby wins. From multi-system endurance races to intersystem speed runs, the twin-engined 350r is a common sight along the racing lanes.\n\nM50\nThe Origin M50 is often referred to as a power plant with a cockpit attached. Introduced in 2920, the M50 represented another leap forward in engine technology that gave the 350r a run for its money. Despite well (if not overly) publicized teething difficulties in the prototype and Y-series test ships, the current M50 lineup is a solid spacecraft design that promises exceptional speed, and has proven it time and time again with multiple Murray Cup wins.\n\nIn the late 2930\u2019s, the UEE Advocacy purchased a bulk of these racers to convert into interdiction ships. These custom models became notorious among outlaw packs, several of whom had open bounties available for anyone who would risk the wrath of the Advocacy by destroying one.\n\n600i\nIntended to infuse the Origin line with a bit of versatility, the 600 line began as a function first mid-sized transport that the company sold as perfect for both work and pleasure. Yet sales never came close to matching other Origin ships, as both customers and critics couldn\u2019t quite figure out the ship\u2019s intended customer. Despite the commercial indifference, the company still considered it a success. They strategically built the ship entirely in Sol, which made the brand beloved by local, powerful politicians and many of Earth\u2019s ultra-rich who owned companies that supplied their facilities. The \u201cmade in Sol\u201d manufacturing strategy changed once the company moved their headquarters to Terra, and eventually so did the ship.\n\nAs Origin refined their version of luxury, the company went back to the drawing board to bring the 600 in line with the company\u2019s iconic aesthetic. Engineers used the same chassis but refined the interior\u2019s shape language, used higher quality materials, and added massive diamond laminate panels to create an observation deck. Put into full scale production for the 2947 model year, Origin symbolized this upgrade by adding an \u201ci\u201d to the ship\u2019s name. Those looking to buy the ship on the secondary market should be wary of unscrupulous sellers looking to offload older, outdated models.\n\n890J\nThe Origin flagship that has come to define luxurious space travel. The ship cuts an impressive and iconic silhouette and comes equipped with a wealth of amenities. Unrivaled in style and sophistication, many CEOs, politicians, and spectrum stars now consider the 890 Jump their home away from home.\n\nDespite the ship\u2019s now vaunted status, the 890 Jump was a major gamble for Origin when they first put it into production in 2858. Astronomical manufacturing costs caught the eyes of investors and analysts, who feared it would be a massive money pit without enough buyers to turn a profit. Origin stood by their market research that showed a desire for such a ship, yet even they were surprised by its massive success. The company even reduced their marketing budget after owners flooded the spectrum with images and vids of the elegant and opulent ship.\n\nLater versions of the 890 Jump, starting in 2903, came standard with the 85x Limited, a luxury two-seater snub ship perfect for quick excursions. Origin infused the ship with the same thrusters as the 300 Series, making it a unique hybrid of racer and touring ship. Fast, agile and elegant, it\u2019s the ideal companion to the 890 Jump.","de_DE":"Gr\u00fc\u00dfe B\u00fcrger,\n\nDieser Galaktische Leitfaden der ORIGIN GmbH erschien erstmals in der siebten Ausgabe von Jump Point, der Abonnentenzeitschrift Star Citizen. Mehr \u00fcber das Abonnieren von Jump Point erfahren Sie hier.\n\nORIGIN Jumpworks GmbH\nWenn es einem Unternehmen gelingt, Klasse und Raffinesse mit dem schieren Risiko der Raumfahrt und der kaltbl\u00fctigen Natur des interstellaren Luftkampfes zu verbinden, kommt die ORIGIN Jumpworks GmbH am n\u00e4chsten. Die umfangreiche Palette an High-End-Raumfahrzeugen des Unternehmens ist bekannt f\u00fcr ihre schlanken und anspruchsvollen Linien. Ebenso haben sie einen exklusiven Kundenstamm von Reichen und M\u00e4chtigen aufgebaut. Wie die perfekt gef\u00fchrten Verk\u00e4ufer von ORIGIN eifrig betonen, bedeutet die Wahl eines ORIGIN-Designs nicht nur den Kauf eines Schiffes, sondern auch die Wahl eines Lebensstils. Der Ursprung wurde w\u00e4hrend des so genannten Glowing Age, dem finanziellen Aufschwung der Mitte des 28. Jahrhunderts, der dem Ansturm der Antimaterie folgte, begr\u00fcndet. F\u00fcr ihr erstes Jahrzehnt produzierte das Unternehmen hochwertige Fusionsmotoren, die vom UEE-Milit\u00e4r verwendet wurden und auf den auff\u00e4lligen Roberts Space Industries und Aegis Dynamics Sternenyachten montiert waren, die damals der \u00d6ffentlichkeit (zumindest dem gut situierten Publikum) zur Verf\u00fcgung standen. Da der Bedarf an pers\u00f6nlichen Raumfahrzeugen exponentiell zunimmt, wandte sich ORIGIN dem Wettbewerb mit den urspr\u00fcnglich von ihm belieferten Unternehmen zu.\n\nInnerhalb von zehn Jahren produzierte das Unternehmen f\u00fcnf Spitzenprodukte f\u00fcr den Verkauf von mittelgro\u00dfen Komposit-Transportern und innerhalb von f\u00fcnfzig Jahren war ihr gut bezahlter Kundenstamm Hals an Kopf mit RSI f\u00fcr Bruttogewinne im Bereich der hergestellten Raumfahrzeuge. ORIGIN stellte 2899 ihre ersten 200 und 300 Linien von Privatschiffen vor und hat seitdem eine starke Position auf diesem Markt eingenommen.\n\nORIGIN wurde am Rheinufer in K\u00f6ln gegr\u00fcndet und war in den ersten zwei Jahrhunderten ihres Bestehens eng mit der Erde verbunden. Urspr\u00fcnglich bestand ORIGIN sogar darauf, dass alle Komponenten f\u00fcr ihre Elite-600-Linie in Sol hergestellt werden. In den letzten Jahren wurden diese Verbindungen vollst\u00e4ndig aufgel\u00f6st.\n\nPr\u00e4sidentin Jennifer Friskers erkl\u00e4rte Terra zur neuen Kulturhauptstadt der UEE und traf die damals unpopul\u00e4re Entscheidung, nach Terra zu ziehen. In einem weitgehend unerwarteten Auftrag verlegte sie 2913 die Konzernzentrale und das prim\u00e4re Designteam in die Siedlung New Austin. Seitdem wurde die Fertigung fast vollst\u00e4ndig ausgelagert, wobei nur noch eine Triebwerkspr\u00fcfanlage auf dem Erdenmond vorhanden ist. Die staatliche Kontrolle des Unternehmens seit dem Umzug hat ebenfalls zugenommen, wobei sich die Steuerfragen nach der Entscheidung, die Erde zu verlassen, vervierfacht haben.\n\nNew Austin ist inzwischen zu einer \"URSPRUNGSSTADT\" geworden, in der das Unternehmen als wichtiger Arbeitgeber festh\u00e4lt (Omega Foods, die f\u00fcr die Crab-O-Kette zust\u00e4ndige Unternehmenseinheit, liegt auf Platz zwei). Das System ist zu einem Mekka f\u00fcr ORIGIN-Enthusiasten geworden, mit wohlhabenden K\u00e4ufern, die durch die Galaxie reisen, um ihre Schiffe direkt aus der Fabrikhalle zu kaufen. Ein atemberaubendes Firmenschaufenster im Zentrum der Stadt zeigt M50er, 300er und 890 JUMPs in einer Reihe von lebensgro\u00dfen Action-Dioramen, deren Einrichtung und Pr\u00e4sentation Millionen kosten, und ORIGIN hat die Namensrechte f\u00fcr lokale Stadien, Gymnasien und Stra\u00dfen gesponsert. Touristen, die New Austin ohne Schnapsglas oder Schl\u00fcsselanh\u00e4nger der 300er Serie verlassen, sind fast unerh\u00f6rt!\n\n300er Serie\nDas aktuelle Arbeitspferd der Firmenkollektion (falls ein Originalfahrzeug so beschrieben werden kann) ist die ORIGIN 300 Serie, ein Hundek\u00e4mpfer der \"Luxusklasse\". Es ist dem Unternehmen zu verdanken, dass eine solche Beschreibung von Natur aus kein Widerspruch ist: Das blanke Silbermetall und die glatten, aerodynamischen Linien des 300i-Basisdesigns erinnern perfekt an ein flie\u00dfendes technisches Kunstwerk und die perfekteste T\u00f6tungsmaschine der Menschheit. Jedes Element der 300er Serie f\u00fchlt sich entworfen an, von den versenkten Raketenhalterungen bis hin zu den flie\u00dfenden Metallgesch\u00fctzbefestigungen.... und nat\u00fcrlich war es das: Tausende von Stunden haben in die Entwicklung jedes einzelnen Elements ihrer Raumsonde investiert. (Das Unternehmen ist bekannt daf\u00fcr, Millionen von Boni an Mitarbeiter zu zahlen, die herausfinden k\u00f6nnen, wie man eine einzelne Bolzenbefestigung aus ihren Konstruktionen entfernt.)\n\nORIGIN stellt derzeit drei Standardmodelle der 300er Serie sowie eine Vielzahl von spezialisierten, limitierten Varianten her. Das luxuri\u00f6se Reisemodell 300i ist seit der Gr\u00fcndung des Schiffes weitgehend unver\u00e4ndert geblieben, mit Ausnahme von verbesserten Technologien und Steuerfl\u00e4chen. Obwohl die Verkaufsschrift darauf hinweist, dass die fortgeschrittenen Modelle zu jedem Lebensstil passen, k\u00f6nnen Beobachter ihnen leicht spezifische Aufgaben zuordnen: Der 315p mit Langstreckenoptionen und verbesserten Scannern ist das Erkundungsmodell und der 325a mit schwereren Waffen und R\u00fcstungen ist f\u00fcr den Kampf gebaut. Die 300 Besetzung \u00e4ndert sich fast j\u00e4hrlich, wobei andere Rollen wie Verbot, Outrange, Stealth und Blockadebetrieb in der Vergangenheit erschienen sind. Der einzige Standard ist der Kunde: ORIGIN legt gro\u00dfen Wert darauf, ihr Handwerk nicht mit Piraterie in Verbindung zu bringen. Das Unternehmen gibt Milliarden f\u00fcr Anti-Piraterie-Bem\u00fchungen aus und ist bekannt daf\u00fcr, den Verkauf an bekannte Piraten zu verweigern, die versuchen, ihr Handwerk pers\u00f6nlich auf Terra zu kaufen. Erstmalig sollten Schurken jedoch keine Angst haben, da der Sekund\u00e4rmarkt f\u00fcr Raumfahrzeuge der 300er Serie robust ist. Dennoch hat sich der Aufwand weitgehend gelohnt: Die 300 gilt als gesetzestreues Kopfgeldj\u00e4gerschiff in seiner rauesten Form und ist nie ein Schmuggler oder Angreifer.\n\nDas bemerkenswerte Modell der \"vierten\" 300er Serie, das nicht in gro\u00dfer St\u00fcckzahl produziert wird, aber wohl das bekannteste au\u00dferhalb der Basis, ist der 350r, der sogenannte \"Lichtgeschwindigkeitsregler\". Der 350r ist das spezielle Rennmodell der Linie, das als Basis f\u00fcr professionelle Rennteams in der ganzen Galaxie dient. 350rs haben eine geschichtstr\u00e4chtige Geschichte, mit mehr Carrington-Gewinnen als jedes andere Raumschiff. Vom Mehrsystem-Langstreckenrennen bis hin zu Crossstar-Geschwindigkeitsl\u00e4ufen ist der zweimotorige 350r ein gemeinsamer Standort entlang der Rennstrecken. Es wird auch gemunkelt, dass die schwarzen Elite-Uhrenabteilungen des UEE-Milit\u00e4rs eine Staffel von 350rs f\u00fcr verdeckte Operationen nutzen, die extreme Geschwindigkeit erfordern; Berichte \u00fcber verstohlene, graue Schiffe der Rennfahrerklasse ohne Funktransponder, die entlang der Vanduul-Grenze operieren, k\u00f6nnen nicht unabh\u00e4ngig nachgewiesen werden.\n\nM50\nBald wird der 350r in der Kategorie der gefeierten Rennfahrer mit dem ORIGIN M50, der oft als Triebwerk mit angebautem Cockpit bezeichnet wird, einen knappen zweiten Platz belegen. Die M50, die in diesem Jahr zum ersten Mal vom Band laufen werden, stellen einen weiteren Sprung in der Motorentechnik dar und sollen dem 350r einen Lauf f\u00fcr sein Geld erm\u00f6glichen. Trotz der gut (wenn auch nicht \u00fcberm\u00e4\u00dfig) bekannt gemachten Anfangsschwierigkeiten bei den Testschiffen der Prototypen- und Y-Serie ist die aktuelle M50-Produktreihe ein solides Raumfahrzeugdesign, das eine unerreichte Geschwindigkeit verspricht. Ob das Schiff K\u00e4ufer unter den gesch\u00e4ftsorientierten Kunden von ORIGIN finden wird, bleibt abzuwarten. Das Unternehmen tut sein Bestes, um die M50 als \"zweites Schiff\" bei 300 Eignern zu promoten, dem sportlichen Coup\u00e9, mit dem man am Wochenende durch die Galaxie rast.","zh_CN":"This portfolio originally appeared in Jump Point 1.7.
