The former constructed computing systems for the burgeoning spacecraft industry and the latter maintained four systems worth of production yards (including the specialized component factories on their home system). The goal from day one was to build naval spacecraft, and the resulting company was tailor-made for military contract bidding in an era when mankind was marshalling its forces. As Messer consolidated power, Aegis was there to supply spacecraft to his legions. Craft like the Retaliator became synonymous with the government\u2019s iron hand.\n\nWith Messer\u2019s fall, Aegis Dynamics seemed destined to fade away. The once-popular hardware supplier of Ivar Messer\u2019s tyrannical regime \u2014 closely associated with the horrors of those years \u2014 Aegis was all but consigned to the dustbin of history. The company began a significant makeover after the fall of the Messer era; gone was the hard-edged and militant \u2018AD\u2019 lighting strike logo, replaced with a softer and less distinctive signifier. The damage of the association was done, however: contracts were cut and the company suffered massive layoffs as military spending went to newer and less-politically-dangerous corporations like Anvil Aerospace and MISC.\n\nThen, a funny thing happened: the civilian world began to adopt Aegis\u2019 military designs for their own purpose. Whether a testament to the increasingly dangerous galaxy or the sheer reliability of Aegis\u2019 weapons of war, the company once fueled by dictatorial government contracts now thrived on the population it once helped oppress. Retaliator bombers were no longer the feared symbols of government power; instead, they became personal transports, mobile homes, mining spacecraft and even firefighters. The burdens of Aegis\u2019 past began to lift and the company began to focus on civilian variants for their current-generation designs.\n\nAvenger\nThe Avenger began its life serving dutifully as the premiere front-line carrier plane of the late 28th century. Avengers racked up a number of impressive space-to-space victories in that era, but were ultimately supplanted by more maneuverable designs like the Hornet. With space combat focusing more on skilled maneuvering than pure weapons storage, the Avenger fell out of active duty with the military and was repurposed as the standard ship for Advocacy and local law enforcement. Today, the military will still use Avengers as trainers; the two-seat variant is a forgiving first spacecraft for new pilots.\n\nThe current civilian model Avenger is marketed towards bounty hunters, with the second seat removed for direct access to the hold. Munitions storage has also been replaced with traditional cargo hooks, and (perhaps most importantly) the standard exterior flight line ladder entry system has been replaced with an internalized solution that allows the pilot to more easily maintain control of access (and egress).\n\nRetaliator\nThe Retaliator, once the symbol of Messer\u2019s iron fist, has transitioned along with the company to become an all purpose spacecraft design. With over two centuries of design evolution, modern day Retaliators barely resemble the original model. Built first as a ground-based strategic bomber, the Retaliator is capable of delivering a heavy payload of bombs to a planetary target or an array of shipkiller torpedoes to any size of capital ship. It was exactly this modularity that allowed civilian pilots to adapt the Retaliator for their own purposes: adaptable bomb bays could be swapped for after-market living quarters, cargo racks or other, more exotic options. Added to this was the vast quantity of surplus Retaliators stored in low-humidity conditions around the galaxy, making them a cost-effective option for pilots looking to make a start with a larger crewed spaceship.\n\nThe resulting \u2018do it yourself\u2019 nature of Retaliator ownership has caused an interesting, ship-specific culture to flourish.

BB gatherings may bring thousands of the ships together at once, and provide an interesting sight for anyone caught in the middle.\n\nReclaimer\nToday, the Aegis Reclaimer is the company\u2019s best-selling remaining military contract ship. Reclaimers are heavy-duty space salvage ships designed for a strong support role. The design isn\u2019t pretty to look at, but it features a variety of rugged specialized tools, all designed for operation in a combat theater: long-range jump drives, launch pods for drones, tractor beams, floodlights and more. Civilian surveyors are also a common site on the frontier, where they are adapted as dedicated salvage ships and explorers. A crew traveling deep space in a Reclaimer should be capable of taking home some of whatever mysteries they happen across!\n\nIdris\nIdris corvettes are one of Aegis\u2019 larger present-day designs (in prior years, the company\u2019s shipyards turned out everything up to battlecruisers.) The original Idris-M is a warship that serves alongside ships-of-the-line in the UEE Navy. Fast, armored predators, Idris-Ms are used for everything from long duration patrols to scouting dangerous jump points to inderdiction. A properly-outfitted Idris with an effective crew can serve as a torpedo boat; in rare instances, the Idris has even used its speed and maneuverability advantages to scuttle opposing cruisers.\n\nMilitia units have also adopted the Idris, in its lighter Idris-P variety. The Idris-P removes the spinal mount weapons platform found on the M, in exchange for additional cargo storage and a higher effective top speed. Idris-Ps frequently carry several light fighters and are used for antismuggling operations. It is not uncommon to come across an Idris-P laden with multiple prizes. The most brazen pirate clans are even known to target non-military Idrises for this reason!\n\nThe Idris-P patrol design is available in limited quantities on the civilian market, and it continues to rehabilitate Aegis\u2019 reputation, having become something of a luxury item. Idris captaincy is considered a prestigious position and Citizens frequently compete to purchase the limited number of civilian craft the company can produce. An Idris isn\u2019t just a luxury item: these crewed ships can effectively transport cargo, explore distant worlds or take on any other role, all while involving a larger crew than a Freelancer or a Constellation.","de_DE":"Aegis Dynamics entstand durch die Fusion von erdgebundenem Aegis Macrocomputing und Davien-basierten dynamischen Produktionssystemen. Die erstgenannten bauten Computersysteme f\u00fcr die aufstrebende Raumfahrzeugindustrie und die letztgenannten unterhielten vier Produktionsst\u00e4tten im Wert von vier Systemen (einschlie\u00dflich der spezialisierten Komponentenfabriken auf ihrem Heimsystem). Das Ziel war vom ersten Tag an, Marinesatelliten zu bauen, und das daraus resultierende Unternehmen war ma\u00dfgeschneidert f\u00fcr milit\u00e4rische Ausschreibungen in einer Zeit, in der die Menschheit ihre Streitkr\u00e4fte b\u00fcndelte. Als Messer die Macht konsolidierte, war Aegis da, um Raumschiffe f\u00fcr seine Legionen zu liefern. Handwerk wie der Vergelter wurde zum Synonym f\u00fcr die eiserne Hand der Regierung.\n\nMit dem Sturz von Messer schien Aegis Dynamics zu verblassen. Der einst beliebte Eisenwarenlieferant des tyrannischen Regimes von Ivar Messer - eng mit den Schrecken jener Jahre verbunden - wurde Aegis fast in den M\u00fclleimer der Geschichte geworfen. Das Unternehmen begann nach dem Fall der Messer-\u00c4ra eine bedeutende Umgestaltung; weg war das scharfkantige und militante AD-Logo, das durch ein weicheres und weniger markantes Signifikat ersetzt wurde. Der Schaden f\u00fcr den Verband wurde jedoch angerichtet: Vertr\u00e4ge wurden gek\u00fcrzt und das Unternehmen wurde massiv entlassen, da die Milit\u00e4rausgaben an neuere und weniger politisch gef\u00e4hrliche Unternehmen wie Anvil Aerospace und MISC gingen.\n\nDann passierte eine lustige Sache: Die zivile Welt begann, die milit\u00e4rischen Entw\u00fcrfe von Aegis f\u00fcr ihren eigenen Zweck zu \u00fcbernehmen. Ob als Beweis f\u00fcr die immer gef\u00e4hrlichere Galaxie oder die blo\u00dfe Zuverl\u00e4ssigkeit der Kriegswaffen von Aegis, das Unternehmen, das einst von diktatorischen Regierungsvertr\u00e4gen angetrieben wurde, bl\u00fchte nun auf der Bev\u00f6lkerung auf, die es einst unterdr\u00fcckte. Vergeltungsbomber waren nicht mehr die gef\u00fcrchteten Symbole der Regierungsmacht, sondern wurden zu Personentransporten, Wohnmobilen, Bergbausatelliten und sogar Feuerwehrleuten. Die Belastungen aus der Vergangenheit von Aegis begannen zu steigen und das Unternehmen begann, sich bei seinen Entw\u00fcrfen der heutigen Generation auf zivile Varianten zu konzentrieren.\n\nR\u00e4cher\nDie Avenger begann ihr Leben pflichtbewusst als das erste Tr\u00e4gerflugzeug der Frontlinie des sp\u00e4ten 28. Jahrhunderts. R\u00e4cher brachten in dieser Zeit eine Reihe beeindruckender Raum-zu-Raum-Siege ein, wurden aber schlie\u00dflich durch wendigere Designs wie die Hornet ersetzt. Da sich der Weltraumkampf mehr auf geschicktes Man\u00f6vrieren als auf reine Waffenlagerung konzentrierte, fiel die Avenger aus dem aktiven Dienst mit dem Milit\u00e4r aus und wurde als Standardschiff f\u00fcr die Advocacy und die lokale Strafverfolgung eingesetzt. Auch heute noch wird das Milit\u00e4r Avengers als Trainer einsetzen; die zweisitzige Variante ist ein fehlerverzeihendes erstes Raumschiff f\u00fcr neue Piloten.\n\nDas aktuelle zivile Modell Avenger wird an Kopfgeldj\u00e4ger vermarktet, wobei der zweite Sitz f\u00fcr den direkten Zugang zum Laderaum entfernt wurde. Die Munitionslagerung wurde auch durch traditionelle Frachthaken ersetzt, und (vielleicht am wichtigsten) das standardm\u00e4\u00dfige externe Einstiegssystem f\u00fcr Fluglinienleitern wurde durch eine internalisierte L\u00f6sung ersetzt, die es dem Piloten erm\u00f6glicht, die Kontrolle \u00fcber den Zugang (und den Ausgang) leichter zu behalten.\n\nVergelter\nDer Vergelter, einst das Symbol der eisernen Faust von Messer, hat sich zusammen mit dem Unternehmen zu einem universellen Raumfahrzeugdesign entwickelt. Mit \u00fcber zwei Jahrhunderten Design-Entwicklung \u00e4hneln moderne Vergelter kaum dem Originalmodell. Der Vergeltungsj\u00e4ger, der zun\u00e4chst als bodengebundener strategischer Bomber gebaut wurde, ist in der Lage, eine schwere Nutzlast von Bomben an ein planetarisches Ziel oder eine Reihe von Schiffskillertorpedos an jede Gr\u00f6\u00dfe eines Gro\u00dfschiffes zu liefern. Genau diese Modularit\u00e4t erm\u00f6glichte es zivilen Piloten, den Retaliator f\u00fcr ihre eigenen Zwecke anzupassen: Anpassbare Bombensch\u00e4chte konnten gegen Wohnr\u00e4ume nach dem Markt, Laderegale oder andere, exotischere Optionen ausgetauscht werden. Hinzu kam die gro\u00dfe Menge an \u00fcbersch\u00fcssigen Vergeltungsmitteln, die unter Bedingungen mit niedriger Luftfeuchtigkeit rund um die Galaxie gelagert wurden, was sie zu einer kosteng\u00fcnstigen Option f\u00fcr Piloten macht, die mit einem gr\u00f6\u00dferen bemannten Raumschiff starten wollen.\n\nDie daraus resultierende \"Do it yourself\"-Natur des Vergeltungsbesitzes hat dazu gef\u00fchrt, dass eine interessante, schiffsspezifische Kultur gedeiht. Obwohl sie aus allen Lebensbereichen kommen, haben zivile Vergeltungspiloten eine Art Bruderschaft um ihre Liebe zu ihren \"Talis\" herum gegr\u00fcndet. Sogenannte \"Bomberjungen\" organisieren Vergeltungstreffen und konkurrieren um die interessantesten neuen Einsatzm\u00f6glichkeiten f\u00fcr die Raumsonde. BB Versammlungen k\u00f6nnen Tausende von Schiffen auf einmal zusammenbringen und bieten einen interessanten Anblick f\u00fcr jeden, der in der Mitte gefangen ist.\n\nGutachter\nHeute ist der Aegis Surveyor das meistverkaufte verbliebene milit\u00e4rische Auftragsschiff des Unternehmens. Vermessungsingenieure sind schwere Raumfahrt-Rettungsschiffe, die f\u00fcr eine starke Unterst\u00fctzungsrolle konzipiert sind. Das Design ist nicht sch\u00f6n anzusehen, aber es verf\u00fcgt \u00fcber eine Vielzahl von robusten Spezialwerkzeugen, die alle f\u00fcr den Einsatz in einem Kampftheater entwickelt wurden: Weitsprungantriebe, Startkapseln f\u00fcr Drohnen, Traktorstrahlen, Scheinwerfer und mehr. Zivile Sachverst\u00e4ndige sind auch ein h\u00e4ufiger Standort an der Grenze, wo sie als spezielle Bergungsschiffe und Entdecker eingesetzt werden. Eine Crew, die in einem Vermessungsingenieur im Weltraum unterwegs ist, sollte in der Lage sein, einige der Geheimnisse, die ihnen begegnen, mit nach Hause zu nehmen!\n\nIdris\nIdris-Korvetten sind eine von Aegis' gr\u00f6\u00dferen aktuellen Entw\u00fcrfen (in den vergangenen Jahren haben die Werften des Unternehmens alles bis hin zu Batlecruisern produziert.) Die urspr\u00fcngliche Idris-M ist ein Kriegsschiff, das neben den Linienschiffen der UEE Navy dient. Schnelle, gepanzerte Raubtiere, Idris-Ms werden f\u00fcr alles eingesetzt, von Langzeitpatrouillen \u00fcber das Aufsp\u00fcren gef\u00e4hrlicher Sprungbretter bis hin zur Indikation. Eine gut ausgestattete Idris mit einer effektiven Besatzung kann als Torpedoboot dienen; in seltenen F\u00e4llen hat die Idris sogar ihre Geschwindigkeits- und Man\u00f6vrierf\u00e4higkeitsvorteile genutzt, um gegnerische Kreuzer zu versenken.\n\nMiliz-Einheiten haben auch den Idris in seiner leichteren Variante Idris-P \u00fcbernommen. Der Idris-P entfernt die auf dem M befindliche spinale Waffenplattform, im Austausch f\u00fcr zus\u00e4tzliche Ladungslagerung und eine h\u00f6here effektive H\u00f6chstgeschwindigkeit. Idris-Ps tragen h\u00e4ufig mehrere leichte J\u00e4ger und werden f\u00fcr Antismuggeloperationen eingesetzt. Es ist nicht ungew\u00f6hnlich, auf einen Idris-P mit mehreren Preisen zu sto\u00dfen. Die dreistesten Piratenclans sind sogar daf\u00fcr bekannt, dass sie aus diesem Grund zivile Idrisen angreifen!\n\nDas Patrouillendesign Idris-P ist in begrenzten Mengen auf dem zivilen Markt erh\u00e4ltlich und rehabilitiert weiterhin den Ruf von Aegis, das zu einem Luxusartikel geworden ist. Der Kapit\u00e4n von Idris gilt als eine angesehene Position, und die B\u00fcrger konkurrieren h\u00e4ufig, um die begrenzte Anzahl von zivilen Fahrzeugen zu kaufen, die das Unternehmen herstellen kann. Eine Idris ist nicht nur ein Luxusartikel: Diese bemannten Schiffe k\u00f6nnen effektiv Fracht transportieren, ferne Welten erkunden oder eine andere Rolle \u00fcbernehmen, und das alles unter Einbeziehung einer gr\u00f6\u00dferen Besatzung als ein Freelancer oder eine Konstellation.","zh_CN":"Aegis Dynamics began life in a merger between Earth-based Aegis Macrocomputing and Davien-based Dynamic Production Systems.
