Hangar Manufacturers In the generations since Roberts Space Industries institutionalized personal space travel, countless supporting industries have sprung up to improve the lives of interstellar pilots. From shield manufacturers to deep space repair services to refueling stations orbiting distant stars, the infrastructure which has grown up to support civilian space travel has become ubiquitous. This development has no better case study than the rise of modular, user-configurable ship hangars. The system of self-maintained hangars arose out of the very simple logic that if you have a spacecraft you also need a place to put it. With the massive increase in individually owned civilian spacecraft and the resulting decline in government-regulated space travel lines, the model for ship housing quickly transitioned. Many once-thriving spaceports were parceled out for individual sale, with the hangars that once maintained thousand-person transports divided into dozens of makeshift spacecraft compartments and made available to the highest bidders. The formalized hangar industry soon followed, with investors purchasing massive tracts of land wherever possible to erect garaging space. On some rapidly developing worlds, territory claims around landing points have become so expensive or contested that urban construction often takes place outside a hundred-kilometer ring of ‘future hangars.’ On some worlds, hangars are constructed deep into the ground or straight up in massive skyscrapers: anything to provide ship owners the piece of mind that comes with a permanent home for their craft. In recent years, three hangar designers/manufacturers have come to define the industry as a whole, with their base appearances being a familiar sight across the galaxy. SELF-LAND Incorporated by Peter Weathermen, a wealthy guildlicensed shipper who made his living on the active spacelanes, SELF-LAND hangars have become an ever-present reminder of just how easy it is for Humans to travel the stars. The corporation was founded on the philosophy that the temporary hangars available to transiting pilots were inaccessible, inaffordable and most importantly unsafe. (Weathermen began developing the company after he was jumped by a gang of dock-thugs who stripped his Starfarer to the hull plating.) Starting in the mid-29th century, SELF-LAND began a franchising-based expansion across the Human-inhabited galaxy. The first SELF-LAND was established by Weathermen on Vann in the Croshaw System. Seemingly overnight, the company had expanded to a dozen worlds … and then a hundred. Today, the SELF-LAND corporation boasts that they maintain at least one facility on every world in the UEE, with some planets (Terra chief among them) having as many as sixty different complexes. SELF-LAND hangars are fully modular and environmentally controlled. Prefabricated out of the most available common metals, they aren’t necessarily attractive to look at … but they are comfortable and familiar. The SELF-LAND experience on a colony world near Vanduul space is exactly the same as that available to a pilot berthing on Earth. The SELF-LAND corporation takes care of everything, from structure design to land titles. Because of their design, the same hangar type can be used in configurations ranging from skyscraping heights, to the breadth of a plain, to stacked underground, or to honeycombed deep within asteroids. Aeroview Hangars Aeroview proudly claims to be the oldest established hangar manufacturer in Human space. Their design and construction of hangars goes back more than 300 years. In the 27th century, Arthur Nassir formed the company around a rigid code of business ethics focusing largely on design quality, a dedication to ergonomics, and an extreme respect for client confidentiality. Aeroview also famously reserves the right to refuse service to any non-Citizens. While hangar design and housing is tangential, at best, to piracy, Nassir’s outspoken contempt for those who fly outside the law led to the company’s code. When Aeroview was purchased by Shubin Interstellar, the conditions of the sale insisted that the code be adhered to in perpetuity. While the code remains intact, Aeroview’s original business model does not. The Aeroview hangars of the 28th century were palatial affairs built on a case-by-case basis to the specifications of the social elite capable of owning their own spacecraft. In recent years, Aeroview has adapted their tactics to follow in SELF-LAND’s footsteps (although they would never admit it). Instead of custom-building high-class hangars on an individual basis, they now produce a line of modular “business hangars” priced to sell to successful businessmen and other executive-level clients. Unlike other modular hangar companies, Aeroview does not lease the property on which their hangars are established. This is left up to the individual consumer to determine; the Aeroview hangar can be erected at any point in the UEE given 48-hours notification (24 hours, for a steep rush construction fee). Of special note, Aeroview has found particular success in developing hangars for larger scale craft or craft that require additional space for support equipment. Pilots of ships like Freelancers, with multiple crew housings, or Hornets, with weapons racks and a need for more intensive hull repair facilities, generally find it more cost effective to purchase a single Aeroview hangar rather than multiple SELF-LANDs. Revel & York When the Revel & York engineering corporation set about designing its first hangar some thirty years ago, the reaction was laughter. The company, known best for excessively expensive and visibly uncomfortable furniture, was entering a field dominated by aerospace giants. The laughter ceased quickly as the Revel & York “deluxe” line of hangars became the de-facto spacecraft garage of the rich and powerful. The company’s cavernous hangars, established on ideal landing spaces in top-dollar land agreements, earned their standing reputation for excellence and quality. Revel & York designers work directly with pilots to develop a hangar experience like no other. R&Y is the only company currently constructing modular hangars designed to support merchantman-class spacecraft like the Constellation and Caterpillar, locking them into a valuable if small segment of the population. Their hangar designs have earned their reputation: between interlocking catwalks (with motorized lifts!) to allow pilots to supervise their spacecraft from overhead, to specially designed Greycat PV buggies for transporting ship crews from module to module, everything is designed for not just the elite pilots’ usability but also their overall enjoyment. SELFLAND and competitors make a place to put your ship; Revel & York makes a place for you to take it in.

Hangarhersteller In den Generationen seit Roberts Space Industries die persönliche Raumfahrt institutionalisiert hat, sind unzählige unterstützende Industrien entstanden, um das Leben von interstellaren Piloten zu verbessern. Von Schildherstellern über Weltraumreparaturdienste bis hin zu Tankstellen, die entfernte Sterne umkreisen, ist die Infrastruktur, die zur Unterstützung der zivilen Raumfahrt entstanden ist, allgegenwärtig geworden. Diese Entwicklung hat keine bessere Fallstudie als der Aufstieg der modularen, benutzerdefinierten Schiffshallen. Das System der selbst gewarteten Hangars entstand aus der sehr einfachen Logik, dass man, wenn man ein Raumschiff hat, auch einen Platz dafür braucht. Mit dem massiven Anstieg der in Privatbesitz befindlichen zivilen Raumfahrzeuge und dem damit verbundenen Rückgang der staatlich regulierten Raumfahrtlinien wurde das Modell für Schiffsunterkünfte schnell umgestellt. Viele einst florierende Raumhäfen wurden für den Einzelverkauf aufgeteilt, wobei die Hangars, die einst Tausend-Personen-Transporte unterhielten, in Dutzende von provisorischen Raumschiffabteilen aufgeteilt und den Höchstbietenden zur Verfügung gestellt wurden. Die formalisierte Hangarindustrie folgte bald, und Investoren kauften, wo immer möglich, massive Grundstücke, um Garagenflächen zu errichten. Auf einigen sich schnell entwickelnden Welten sind Gebietsansprüche um Landepunkte so teuer oder umstritten, dass der Städtebau oft außerhalb eines hundert Kilometer langen Rings von "zukünftigen Hangars" stattfindet. Auf einigen Welten werden Hangars tief im Boden oder direkt in massiven Wolkenkratzern gebaut: alles, was den Reedern die Gewissheit gibt, dass sie ein dauerhaftes Zuhause für ihr Schiff haben. In den letzten Jahren haben drei Hangar-Designer/Hersteller die Branche als Ganzes definiert, wobei ihre Basiserscheinungen ein vertrauter Anblick in der gesamten Galaxie sind. SELBST-LAND Die von Peter Weathermen, einem wohlhabenden, zunftzugelassenen Verlader, der seinen Lebensunterhalt mit den aktiven Spacelanes verdiente, gegründeten SELF-LAND-Hangars sind zu einer allgegenwärtigen Erinnerung geworden, wie einfach es für den Menschen ist, die Sterne zu bereisen. Das Unternehmen wurde auf der Philosophie gegründet, dass die temporären Hangars, die den umsteigenden Piloten zur Verfügung stehen, unzugänglich, unerschwinglich und vor allem unsicher sind. (Die Wetterleute begannen mit der Entwicklung der Firma, nachdem er von einer Bande von Hafenhändlern überfallen wurde, die seinen Starfarer bis zur Rumpfverkleidung auszogen. Ab Mitte des 29. Jahrhunderts begann SELF-LAND eine Franchise-basierte Expansion durch die vom Menschen bewohnte Galaxie. Das erste SELF-LAND wurde von den Wetterleuten auf Vann im Croshaw-System eingerichtet. Scheinbar über Nacht hatte sich das Unternehmen auf ein Dutzend Welten ausgedehnt.... und dann auf hundert. Heute rühmt sich die SELF-LAND Corporation, dass sie mindestens eine Einrichtung auf jeder Welt in der UEE unterhält, wobei einige Planeten (darunter der Terra-Chef) bis zu sechzig verschiedene Komplexe haben. SELF-LAND Hangars sind vollständig modular und umweltgesteuert. Vorgefertigt aus den gängigsten Metallen, sind sie nicht unbedingt attraktiv anzusehen.... aber sie sind bequem und vertraut. Die SELF-LAND-Erfahrung in einer Koloniewelt in der Nähe des Vanduul-Raums ist genau die gleiche wie die eines Pilotliegers auf der Erde. Die SELF-LAND Corporation kümmert sich um alles, vom Strukturdesign bis hin zu Landtiteln. Aufgrund ihres Designs kann der gleiche Hangartyp in Konfigurationen eingesetzt werden, die von Wolkenkratzerhöhen über die Breite einer Ebene bis hin zu gestapelten Untergründen oder Wabenstrukturen tief in Asteroiden reichen. Luftaufnahme Hangars Aeroview behauptet stolz, der älteste etablierte Hangarhersteller im menschlichen Raum zu sein. Ihr Entwurf und Bau von Hangars reicht mehr als 300 Jahre zurück. Im 27. Jahrhundert gründete Arthur Nassir das Unternehmen um einen starren Kodex der Geschäftsethik, der sich weitgehend auf Designqualität, Ergonomie und höchste Vertraulichkeit der Kunden konzentriert. Aeroview behält sich auch bekanntlich das Recht vor, die Zustellung von Dienstleistungen an Nicht-Bürger abzulehnen. Während das Design und die Unterbringung von Hangars bestenfalls tangential zur Piraterie ist, führte Nassirs unverblümte Verachtung für diejenigen, die außerhalb des Gesetzes fliegen, zum Kodex des Unternehmens. Als Aeroview von Shubin Interstellar gekauft wurde, bestanden die Verkaufsbedingungen darauf, dass der Kodex auf Dauer eingehalten wird. Der Code bleibt zwar intakt, das ursprüngliche Geschäftsmodell von Aeroview jedoch nicht. Die Aeroview-Hallen des 28. Jahrhunderts waren palastartige Angelegenheiten, die von Fall zu Fall nach den Vorgaben der sozialen Elite gebaut wurden, die in der Lage war, ein eigenes Raumschiff zu besitzen. In den letzten Jahren hat Aeroview seine Taktik angepasst, um in die Fußstapfen von SELF-LAND zu treten (obwohl sie es nie zugeben würden). Anstatt erstklassige Hangars individuell nach Maß zu bauen, produzieren sie nun eine Reihe von modularen "Business Hangars", die an erfolgreiche Geschäftsleute und andere Kunden auf Führungsebene verkauft werden können. Im Gegensatz zu anderen modularen Hangarunternehmen mietet Aeroview das Grundstück, auf dem ihre Hangars errichtet sind, nicht. Dies bleibt dem einzelnen Verbraucher überlassen; der Aeroview-Hangar kann an jedem beliebigen Punkt in der UEE mit einer 48-Stunden-Benachrichtigung (24 Stunden, gegen eine hohe Eilzuschlagsgebühr) errichtet werden. Besonders erfolgreich ist Aeroview bei der Entwicklung von Hangars für größere Schiffe oder Boote, die zusätzlichen Platz für Hilfsgeräte benötigen. Piloten von Schiffen wie Freelancer, mit mehreren Mannschaftsgehäusen oder Hornissen, mit Waffengestellen und dem Bedarf an intensiveren Reparatureinrichtungen für den Rumpf, finden es im Allgemeinen kostengünstiger, einen einzigen Aeroview-Hangar zu kaufen als mehrere SELF-LANDs. Revel & York Als das Ingenieurbüro Revel & York vor etwa dreißig Jahren mit dem Entwurf seines ersten Hangars begann, war die Reaktion Gelächter. Das Unternehmen, das am besten für überteuerte und sichtlich unbequeme Möbel bekannt ist, betrat ein von Riesen der Luft- und Raumfahrt dominiertes Feld. Das Lachen hörte schnell auf, als die "deluxe"-Hangarserie von Revel & York zur de-facto-Satellitengarage der Reichen und Mächtigen wurde. Die höhlenartigen Hangars des Unternehmens, die auf idealen Landeplätzen in Top-Dollar-Landabkommen errichtet wurden, erwarben sich ihren guten Ruf für Exzellenz und Qualität. Die Designer von Revel & York arbeiten direkt mit den Piloten zusammen, um ein Hangar-Erlebnis wie kein anderes zu entwickeln. R&Y ist das einzige Unternehmen, das derzeit modulare Hangars baut, um Raumfahrzeuge der Händlerklasse wie die Constellation und Caterpillar zu unterstützen und sie in einem wertvollen, wenn auch kleinen Teil der Bevölkerung zu verankern. Ihre Hangar-Konstruktionen haben sich ihren Ruf verdient: Von ineinander greifenden Laufstegen (mit motorisierten Liften!), die es Piloten ermöglichen, ihre Raumfahrzeuge von oben zu überwachen, bis hin zu speziell entwickelten Greycat-PV-Buggies für den Transport von Schiffsbesatzungen von Modul zu Modul ist alles darauf ausgelegt, nicht nur die Benutzerfreundlichkeit der Elitepiloten zu gewährleisten, sondern auch ihren allgemeinen Spaß. SELFLAND und Konkurrenten machen einen Platz, um Ihr Schiff unterzubringen; Revel & York macht einen Platz für Sie, um es aufzunehmen.
