&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
Albr Engineering was founded in 3097 when Joseph Allen, Bradley Leon, Kirk Bedwell and Scott Riley left university and bought Tucker Station, a small run down starport and shipyard on Hawkinsworld in the Delta Pavonis system, from a retiring Stephen Tucker on the condition that they retained the name of the station.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The early years were spent serviceing and repairing atmospheric craft and small starships that visited the port, but later moved on to installing aftermarket enhancements and tuning engines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Within 2 years, Tucker Station was known throughout the system as the place to go if you wanted any sort of engine mod or custom work done to your craft. Small numbers of customers even traveled from outside the system, their reputation was so good.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By 3122 Albr Engineering had expanded to near saturation of the market in the nearby systems, so ideas were sought throughout the company on ways to expand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the end of 3122 the engineers had drawn up designs for an innovative re-usable drop sled that could be jettisoned from an orbiting station / ship filled with goods and it would drop unpowered through the atmosphere to pre-determined co-ordinates delivering goods quickly, safely and importantly, closer to the planned destinations than if they were carried by a transport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The innovative part was that the sleds could then be collapsed quickly and stacked so they took up 1/4 of the room for transport back to the orbiting station / ship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the beginning of 3123 an automated manufacturing plant close to Tucker Station was purchased and set about making the sleds. Orders came in quickly from the two orbiting stations and many other stations soon placed orders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is roumoured that in 3125 while the executive board were out having a few drinks, someone joked &amp;quot;I wonder if you could drop a human in one of our sleds?&amp;quot; This got the engineers wondering about using their unique folding design and adopting it for an emergency escape pod.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Surprise funding came from the Federation Navy who had somehow got wind of the planned developmens, and were interested in seeing if they could free up more room in their large carriers by making the escape pods smaller. Enough money was secured to do the initial designs and produce 2 prototypes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first prototype made its first test drop (containing a test dummy loaded with sensors) infront of a panel of Navy officials in early 3107.  At an altitude of just over 10000m, one of the stabilizing fins broke and sent the sled into an un-recoverable spin. The sled was ripped appart and largely vapourised in mid air. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few changes were made to the second sled and the team were so sure of their design that Kirk Bedwell himself volunteered to be the test &amp;quot;pilot&amp;quot; for the second drop, six months later, as a show of confidence to the Navy. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The drop was a complete success. The Navy put in a request for 10000 units on the spot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 3132 Albr Engineering changed its name to Albr Corp and floated shares on the stock markets&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As orders increased exponentially from both the Federation Navy and independant private starliners, more and more manufactureing plants were purchased to keep up with demand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Several other Factions Navies also expressed an interest in the drop sled and escape capsule, but the Federation stepped in and blocked all proposed trade between Albr Corp and other factions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a short but heated court case in 3134 the Federation agreed that Albr Corp could supply sleds and escape capsules to other factions on the condition that they had top priority when ordering.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is hard to get exact figures but it is believed that Albr Corp now has a, glaxy wide, 46% market share in drop sleds and a 73% market share in emergency escape pods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 3144, as Joseph Allen (the last of the original founders) retired, the board of directors decided that it was time to diversify and expand the company.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using their drop sled and aerodynamic design experience, a small freighter was designed that could leave an orbiting station and glide to the surface of a planet using mostly aero breaking and land at a surface port using virtually no fuel. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Deneb was put into production but sales, while steady, were not nearly as good as expected. It was noted that the most common aftermarket modification was to add crew cabins and a hyperdrive so the designs were changed to include these as standard on every new Deneb. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sales quickly picked up and the Deneb became a popular ship among small courier companies and for very wealthy privateers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 3152 Albr Corp was one of the companies approached by the Federation navy to produce designs for a military &amp;quot;drop ship&amp;quot; for transporting troops / supplies / armoured vehicles from orbiting battle cruisers to the front line battle field and vice versa. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a long demanding tendering period, Albr Corp won the contract and the first AC33 (nicknamed Dropstar) rolled off the producion line in 3163&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By 3179 production demands for the AC33 had tailed off and a civilian version was designed with crew cabins, hyperdrive and all the usual interior fittings a private purchaser would expect. This was named the Venturestar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==History==&lt;br /&gt;
After the success of the [[Deneb]], Albr Corp was one of the corporations approached by the Federation Navy to produce designs for a low cost, atmospheric capable &amp;quot;drop ship&amp;quot; for ferrying troops / equipment / armored vehicles from orbiting carriers to front line battlefield locations and vice versa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The basic specifications:&lt;br /&gt;
* Low maintenance&lt;br /&gt;
* Atmospheric, aerodynamic design&lt;br /&gt;
* Robust design with redundant system protection &lt;br /&gt;
* Earth to LEO in &amp;lt; 2 minutes&lt;br /&gt;
* Mechanism for quickly loading / unloading without the need for cranes &lt;br /&gt;
* Quick loading / unloading of APC's / tanks / vehicles etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Albr Corp based its whole ship design around two large engines (that were designed for a much larger ship and would never normally be fitted to a ship this size) and a large loading ramp at the rear, leading to a spacious cargo hold, that would allow troops / vehicles to drive on and off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even with stiff competition from several other corporations, Albr Corp eventually won the contract with its design, mainly because the ship was designed from the ground up as a military drop ship and not a &amp;quot;militarised&amp;quot; version of a civilian ship like most other corporations proposed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This ship was named the AC33 but was more widely known as by its project name &amp;quot;Dropstar&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Improvements and changes==&lt;br /&gt;
Many small shipyards have started buying up older Dropstar's that the Federal Navy have decommissioned and fit them with simple crew cabins so that they are capable of long distance travel. These ships are certainly not as comfortable as their sister ship the Venturestar, but they are functional and make a perfect working ship. Many are sold to express courier companies because of their good cargo space, quick starport turnaround capability and most of all the powerful engines fitted to these ships.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other uses==&lt;br /&gt;
The Federation Navy has been known to fit hyperdrives, extended fuel tanks and multi-missile tubes to the AC33, turning them into quite a formidable long range &amp;quot;missile boat&amp;quot;.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Description==&lt;br /&gt;
The Deneb was designed as a low cost, no frills, atmospheric capable shuttle for ferrying goods (or passengers if the cargo hold is pressurised and seats fitted) from a planet's surface to orbital stations or large cargo ships in a low orbit and vice versa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its large cargo bay doors allow it to be loaded / unloaded quickly, meaning less time spent docked between trips.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Deneb is not a fast ship but its engine is very fuel efficient and reliable. Couple this with the fact that it can glide from a low orbit to a planet’s surface using virtually no fuel, even landing at larger airports runways, make this ship a very attractive purchase for independent courier companies on a tight budget.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Improvements and changes==&lt;br /&gt;
Later versions were fitted with crew cabins allowing the Deneb to be used for longer inter-planetary trips. This also allowed the Deneb to be fitted with a hyperdrive for inter-system travel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With longer travel distances and slow acceleration, the Deneb became a preferred target for pirates, so a gun point was also added and 8 missile slots making it a risky target for all but the most determined pirates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other uses==&lt;br /&gt;
Other common aftermarket configurations include:&lt;br /&gt;
* Lush cabins fitted for use as an executive shuttle&lt;br /&gt;
* Sensor arrays and science labs fitted for deep space research missions&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The military has also been known to fit long range ECM / jamming / sensing equipment for &amp;quot;electronic warfare&amp;quot; roles and fitting multi missile launchers to turn the Deneb into a &amp;quot;missile boat&amp;quot;.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
==Venturestar==&lt;br /&gt;
Once the initial rush of manufacturing the [[AC33]] had tailed off, Albr Corp saw the opportunity to make more money with a civilian version. &lt;br /&gt;
The original designs were edited, removing the large engines and fitting regular more economical versions (which also drastically improved cargo space), removing much of the bulky military grade armour plating, adding crew bunks and finishing the interior with less sparse fittings.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Improvements and changes==&lt;br /&gt;
Initial uptake of the Venturestar was not as high as expected, so after a few months of very low sales, the design was modified to add the same main engine nozzles (the cooling fins of the Dropstar are now redundant with normal engines and are purely cosmetic now) and wing end plates as the Dropstar, giving it a more utilitarian look.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The advertising campaign was stepped up to market the Venturestar as a military grade civilian freighter which set it apart from all the other similar ships which were marketed as &amp;quot;Luxury&amp;quot; freighters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These small changes, as superficial as they were, pushed the Venturestar from obscurity to being a ship that can be found throughout the known galaxy.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

==History==&lt;br /&gt;
After the success of the Deneb, Albr Corp was one of the corporations approached by the Federation Navy to produce designs for a low cost, atmospheric capable &amp;quot;drop ship&amp;quot; for ferrying troops / equipment / armored vehicles from orbiting carriers to front line battlefield locations and vice versa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The basic specifications:&lt;br /&gt;
* Low maintenance&lt;br /&gt;
* Atmospheric, aerodynamic design&lt;br /&gt;
* Robust design with redundant system protection &lt;br /&gt;
* Earth to LEO in &amp;lt; 2 minutes&lt;br /&gt;
* Mechanism for quickly loading / unloading without the need for cranes &lt;br /&gt;
* Quick loading / unloading of APC's / tanks / vehicles etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Albr Corp based its whole ship design around two large engines (that were designed for a much larger ship and would never normally be fitted to a ship this size) and a large loading ramp at the rear, leading to a spacious cargo hold, that would allow troops / vehicles to drive on and off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even with stiff competition from several other corporations, Albr Corp eventually won the contract with its design, mainly because the ship was designed from the ground up as a military drop ship and not a &amp;quot;militarised&amp;quot; version of a civilian ship like most other corporations proposed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This ship was named the AC33 but was more widely known as by its project name &amp;quot;Dropstar&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Improvements and changes==&lt;br /&gt;
Many small shipyards have started buying up older Dropstar's that the Federal Navy have decommissioned and fit them with simple crew cabins so that they are capable of long distance travel. These ships are certainly not as comfortable as their sister ship the Venturestar, but they are functional and make a perfect working ship. Many are sold to express courier companies because of their good cargo space, quick starport turnaround capability and most of all the powerful engines fitted to these ships.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other uses==&lt;br /&gt;
The Federation Navy has been known to fit hyperdrives, extended fuel tanks and multi-missile tubes to the AC33, turning them into quite a formidable long range &amp;quot;missile boat&amp;quot;.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
Albr Engineering was founded in 3097 when Joseph Allen, Bradley Leon, Kirk Bedwell and Scott Riley left university and bought Tucker Station, a small run down starport and shipyard on Hawkinsworld in the Delta Pavonis system, from a retiring Stephen Tucker on the condition that they retained the name of the station.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The early years were spent serviceing and repairing atmospheric craft and small starships that visited the port, but later moved on to installing aftermarket enhancements and tuning engines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Within 2 years, Tucker Station was known throughout the system as the place to go if you wanted any sort of engine mod or custom work done to your craft. Small numbers of customers even traveled from outside the system, their reputation was so good.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By 3122 Albr Engineering had expanded to near saturation of the market in the nearby systems, so ideas were sought throughout the company on ways to expand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the end of 3122 the engineers had drawn up designs for an innovative re-usable drop sled that could be jettisoned from an orbiting station / ship filled with goods and it would drop unpowered through the atmosphere to pre-determined co-ordinates delivering goods quickly, safely and importantly, closer to the planned destinations than if they were carried by a transport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The innovative part was that the sleds could then be collapsed quickly and stacked so they took up 1/4 of the room for transport back to the orbiting station / ship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the beginning of 3123 an automated manufacturing plant close to Tucker Station was purchased and set about making the sleds. Orders came in quickly from the two orbiting stations and many other stations soon placed orders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is roumoured that in 3125 while the executive board were out having a few drinks, someone joked &amp;quot;I wonder if you could drop a human in one of our sleds?&amp;quot; This got the engineers wondering about using their unique folding design and adopting it for an emergency escape pod.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Surprise funding came from the Federation Navy who had somehow got wind of the planned developmens, and were interested in seeing if they could free up more room in their large carriers by making the escape pods smaller. Enough money was secured to do the initial designs and produce 2 prototypes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first prototype made its first test drop (containing a test dummy loaded with sensors) infront of a panel of Navy officials in early 3107.  At an altitude of just over 10000m, one of the stabilizing fins broke and sent the sled into an un-recoverable spin. The sled was ripped appart and largely vapourised in mid air. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few changes were made to the second sled and the team were so sure of their design that Kirk Bedwell himself volunteered to be the test &amp;quot;pilot&amp;quot; for the second drop, six months later, as a show of confidence to the Navy. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The drop was a complete success. The Navy put in a request for 10000 units on the spot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 3132 Albr Engineering changed its name to Albr Corp and floated shares on the stock markets&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As orders increased exponentially from both the Federation Navy and independant private starliners, more and more manufactureing plants were purchased to keep up with demand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Several other Factions Navies also expressed an interest in the drop sled and escape capsule, but the Federation stepped in and blocked all proposed trade between Albr Corp and other factions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a short but heated court case in 3134 the Federation agreed that Albr Corp could supply sleds and escape capsules to other factions on the condition that they had top priority when ordering.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is hard to get exact figures but it is believed that Albr Corp now has a, glaxy wide, 46% market share in drop sleds and a 73% market share in emergency escape pods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 3144, as Joseph Allen (the last of the original founders) retired, the board of directors decided that it was time to diversify and expand the company.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using their drop sled and aerodynamic design experience, a small freighter was designed that could leave an orbiting station and glide to the surface of a planet using mostly aero breaking and land at a surface port using virtually no fuel. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Deneb was put into production but sales, while steady, were not nearly as good as expected. It was noted that the most common aftermarket modification was to add crew cabins and a hyperdrive so the designs were changed to include these as standard on every new Deneb. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sales quickly picked up and the Deneb became a popular ship among small courier companies and for very wealthy privateers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 3152 Albr Corp was one of the companies approached by the Federation navy to produce designs for a military &amp;quot;drop ship&amp;quot; for transporting troops / supplies / armoured vehicles from orbiting battle cruisers to the front line battle field and vice versa. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a long demanding tendering period, Albr Corp won the contract and the first AC33 (nicknamed Dropstar) rolled off the producion line in 3163&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By 3179 production demands for the AC33 had tailed off and a civilian version was designed with crew cabins, hyperdrive and all the usual interior fittings a private purchaser would expect. This was named the Venturestar.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Description==&lt;br /&gt;
The Deneb was designed as a low cost, no frills, atmospheric capable shuttle for ferrying goods (or passengers if the cargo hold is pressurised and seats fitted) from a planet's surface to orbital stations or large cargo ships in a low orbit and vice versa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its large cargo bay doors allow it to be loaded / unloaded quickly, meaning less time spent docked between trips.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Deneb is not a fast ship but its engine is very fuel efficient and reliable. Couple this with the fact that it can glide from a low orbit to a planet’s surface using virtually no fuel, even landing at larger airports runways, make this ship a very attractive purchase for independent courier companies on a tight budget.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Improvements and changes==&lt;br /&gt;
Later versions were fitted with crew cabins allowing the Deneb to be used for longer inter-planetary trips. This also allowed the Deneb to be fitted with a hyperdrive for inter-system travel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With longer travel distances and slow acceleration, the Deneb became a preferred target for pirates, so a gun point was also added and 8 missile slots making it a risky target for all but the most determined pirates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other uses==&lt;br /&gt;
Other common aftermarket configurations include:&lt;br /&gt;
* Lush cabins fitted for use as an executive shuttle&lt;br /&gt;
* Sensor arrays and science labs fitted for deep space research missions&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The military has also been known to fit long range ECM / jamming / sensing equipment for &amp;quot;electronic warfare&amp;quot; roles and fitting multi missile launchers to turn the Deneb into a &amp;quot;missile boat&amp;quot;.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
After the success of the Deneb, Albr Corp was one of the corporations approached by the Federation Navy to produce designs for a low cost, atmospheric capable &amp;quot;drop ship&amp;quot; for ferrying troops / equipment / armored vehicles from orbiting carriers to front line battlefield locations and vice versa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The basic specifications:&lt;br /&gt;
* Low maintenance&lt;br /&gt;
* Atmospheric, aerodynamic design&lt;br /&gt;
* Robust design with redundant system protection &lt;br /&gt;
* Earth to LEO in &amp;lt; 2 minutes&lt;br /&gt;
* Mechanism for quickly loading / unloading without the need for cranes &lt;br /&gt;
* Quick loading / unloading of APC's / tanks / vehicles etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Albr Corp based its whole ship design around two large engines (that were designed for a much larger ship and would never normally be fitted to a ship this size) and a large loading ramp at the rear, leading to a spacious cargo hold, that would allow troops / vehicles to drive on and off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even with stiff competition from several other corporations, Albr Corp eventually won the contract with its design, mainly because the ship was designed from the ground up as a military drop ship and not a &amp;quot;militarised&amp;quot; version of a civilian ship like most other corporations proposed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This ship was named the AC33 but was more widely known as by its project name &amp;quot;Dropstar&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Improvements and changes==&lt;br /&gt;
Many small shipyards have started buying up older Dropstar's that the Federal Navy have decommissioned and fit them with simple crew cabins so that they are capable of long distance travel. These ships are certainly not as comfortable as their sister ship the Venturestar, but they are functional and make a perfect working ship. Many are sold to express courier companies because of their good cargo space, quick starport turnaround capability and most of all the powerful engines fitted to these ships.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other uses==&lt;br /&gt;
The Federation Navy has been known to fit hyperdrives, extended fuel tanks and multi-missile tubes to the AC33, turning them into quite a formidable long range &amp;quot;missile boat&amp;quot;.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
==Venturestar==&lt;br /&gt;
Once the initial rush of manufacturing the [[AC33]] had tailed off, Albr Corp saw the opportunity to make more money with a civilian version. &lt;br /&gt;
The original designs were edited, removing the large engines and fitting regular more economical versions (which also drastically improved cargo space), removing much of the bulky military grade armour plating, adding crew bunks and finishing the interior with less sparse fittings.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Improvements and changes==&lt;br /&gt;
Initial uptake of the Venturestar was not as high as expected, so after a few months of very low sales, the design was modified to add the same main engine nozzles (the cooling fins of the Dropstar are now redundant with normal engines and are purely cosmetic now) and wing end plates as the Dropstar, giving it a more utilitarian look.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The advertising campaign was stepped up to market the Venturestar as a military grade civilian freighter which set it apart from all the other similar ships which were marketed as &amp;quot;Luxury&amp;quot; freighters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These small changes, as superficial as they were, pushed the Venturestar from obscurity to being a ship that can be found throughout the known galaxy.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

==Venturestar==&lt;br /&gt;
Once the initial rush of manufacturing the AC33 (Dropstar) had tailed off, Albr Corp saw the opportunity to make more money with a civilian version. &lt;br /&gt;
The original design was edited, removing the large engines and fitting regular more economical versions (which also drastically improved cargo space), and also adding crew cabins and finishing the interior with less sparse fittings.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Improvements and changes==&lt;br /&gt;
Initial uptake of the Venturestar was not as high as expected, so after a few months of very low sales, the design was modified to add the same main engine nozzles (the cooling fins of the Dropstar are now redundant with normal engines) and wing end plates as the Dropstar, giving it a more utilitarian look.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The advertising campaign was stepped up to market the Venturestar as a military grade civilian freighter which set it apart from all the other similar ships which were marketed as &amp;quot;Luxury&amp;quot; freighters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These small changes, as superficial as they were, pushed the Venturestar from obscurity to being a ship that can be found throughout the known galaxy.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

==History==&lt;br /&gt;
After the success of the Deneb, Albr Corp was one of the corporations approached by the Federation Navy to produce designs for a low cost, atmospheric capable &amp;quot;drop ship&amp;quot; for ferrying troops / equipment / armored vehicles from orbiting carriers to front line battlefield locations and vice versa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The basic specifications:&lt;br /&gt;
* Low maintenance&lt;br /&gt;
* Atmospheric, aerodynamic design&lt;br /&gt;
* Robust design with redundant system protection &lt;br /&gt;
* Earth to LEO in &amp;lt; 2 minutes&lt;br /&gt;
* Mechanism for quickly loading / unloading without the need for cranes &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Albr Corp based its whole ship design around two large engines (that were designed for a much larger ship and would never normally be fitted to a ship this size) and a large loading ramp at the rear, leading to a spacious cargo hold, that would allow troops / vehicles to drive on and off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even with stiff competition from several other corporations, Albr Corp eventually won the contract with its design, mainly because the ship was designed from the ground up as a military drop ship and not a &amp;quot;militarised&amp;quot; version of a civilian ship like most other corporations proposed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This ship was named the AC33 but was more widely known as by its project name &amp;quot;Dropstar&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Improvements and changes==&lt;br /&gt;
Many small shipyards have started buying up older Dropstars that the Federal Navy have decommissioned and fit them with simple crew cabins so that they are capable of long distance travel. These ships are certainly not as comfortable as a Venturestar, but they are functional and make a perfect working ship. Many are sold to courier companies because of the powerful engines fitted to these ships.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
Albr Engineering was founded in 3097 when Joseph Allen, Bradley Leon, Kirk Bedwell and Scott Riley left university and bought Tucker Station, a small run down starport and shipyard on Hawkinsworld in the Delta Pavonis system, from a retiring Stephen Tucker on the condition that they retained the name of the station.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The early years were spent serviceing and repairing atmospheric craft and small starships that visited the port, but later moved on to installing aftermarket enhancements and tuning engines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Within 2 years, Tucker Station was known throughout the system as the place to go if you wanted any sort of engine mod or custom work done to your craft. Small numbers of customers even traveled from outside the system, their reputation was so good.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By 3122 Albr Engineering had expanded to near saturation of the market in the nearby systems, so ideas were sought throughout the company on ways to expand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the end of 3122 the engineers had drawn up designs for an innovative re-usable drop sled that could be jettisoned from an orbiting station / ship filled with goods and it would drop unpowered through the atmosphere to pre-determined co-ordinates delivering goods quickly, safely and importantly, closer to the planned destinations than if they were carried by a transport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The innovative part was that the sleds could then be collapsed quickly and stacked so they took up 1/4 of the room for transport back to the orbiting station / ship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the beginning of 3123 an automated manufacturing plant close to Tucker Station was purchased and set about making the sleds. Orders came in quickly from the two orbiting stations and many other stations soon placed orders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is roumoured that in 3125 while the executive board were out having a few drinks, someone joked &amp;quot;I wonder if you could drop a human in one of our sleds?&amp;quot; This got the engineers wondering about using their unique folding design and adopting it for an emergency escape pod.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Surprise funding came from the Federation Navy who had somehow got wind of the planned developmens, and were interested in seeing if they could free up more room in their large carriers by making the escape pods smaller. Enough money was secured to do the initial designs and produce 2 prototypes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first prototype made its first test drop (containing a test dummy loaded with sensors) infront of a panel of Navy officials in early 3107.  At an altitude of just over 10000m, one of the stabilizing fins broke and sent the sled into an un-recoverable spin. The sled was ripped appart and largely vapourised in mid air. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few changes were made to the second sled and the team were so sure of their design that Kirk Bedwell himself volunteered to be the test &amp;quot;pilot&amp;quot; for the second drop, six months later, as a show of confidence to the Navy. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The drop was a complete success. The Navy put in a request for 10000 units on the spot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 3132 Albr Engineering changed its name to Albr Corp and floated shares on the stock markets&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As orders increased exponentially from both the Federation Navy and independant private starliners, more and more manufactureing plants were purchased to keep up with demand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Several other Factions Navies also expressed an interest in the drop sled and escape capsule, but the Federation stepped in and blocked all proposed trade between Albr Corp and other factions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a short but heated court case in 3134 the Federation agreed that Albr Corp could supply sleds and escape capsules to other factions on the condition that they had top priority when ordering.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is hard to get exact figures but it is believed that Albr Corp now has a, glaxy wide, 46% market share in drop sleds and a 73% market share in emergency escape pods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 3144, as Joseph Allen (the last of the original founders) retired, the board of directors decided that it was time to diversify and expand the company.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using their drop sled and aerodynamic design experience, a small freighter was designed that could leave an orbiting station and glide to the surface of a planet using mostly aero breaking and land at a surface port using virtually no fuel. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Deneb was put into production but sales, while steady, were not nearly as good as expected. It was noted that the most common aftermarket modification was to add crew cabins and a hyperdrive so the designs were changed to include these as standard on every new Deneb. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sales quickly picked up and the Deneb became a popular ship among small courier companies and for very wealthy privateers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 3152 Albr Corp was one of the companies approached by the Federation navy to produce designs for a military &amp;quot;drop ship&amp;quot; for transporting troops / supplies / armoured vehicles from orbiting battle cruisers to the front line battle field and vice versa. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a long demanding tendering period, Albr Corp won the contract and the first AC33 (nicknamed Dropstar) rolled off the producion line in 3163&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By 3179 production demands for the AC33 had tailed off and a civilian version was designed with crew cabins, hyperdrive and all the usual interior fittings a private purchaser would expect. This was named the Venturestar&lt;br /&gt;

By 3179 production demands for the AC33 had tailed off and a civilian version was designed with crew cabins, hyperdrive and all the usual interior fittings a private purchaser would expect. This was named the Venturestar&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Description==&lt;br /&gt;
The Deneb was designed as a low cost, no frills, atmospheric capable shuttle for ferrying goods (or passengers if the cargo hold is pressurised and seats fitted) from a planet's surface to orbital stations or large cargo ships in a low orbit and vice versa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its large cargo bay doors allow it to be loaded / unloaded quickly, meaning less time spent docked between trips.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Deneb is not a fast ship but its engine is very fuel efficient and reliable. Couple this with the fact that it can glide from a low orbit to a planet’s surface using virtually no fuel, even landing at larger airports runways, make this ship a very attractive purchase for independent courier companies on a tight budget.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Improvements and changes==&lt;br /&gt;
Later versions were fitted with crew cabins allowing the Deneb to be used for longer inter-planetary trips. This also allowed the Deneb to be fitted with a hyperdrive for inter-system travel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With longer travel distances and slow acceleration, the Deneb became a preferred target for pirates, so a gun point was also added and 8 missile slots making it a risky target for all but the most determined pirates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other uses==&lt;br /&gt;
Other common aftermarket configurations include:&lt;br /&gt;
* Lush cabins fitted for use as an executive shuttle&lt;br /&gt;
* Sensor arrays and science labs fitted for deep space research missions&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The military has also been known to fit long range ECM / jamming / sensing equipment for &amp;quot;electronic warfare&amp;quot; roles and fitting multi missile launchers to turn the Deneb into a &amp;quot;missile boat&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

==History==&lt;br /&gt;
After the success of the Deneb, Albr Corp was one of the corporations approached by the Federation Navy to produce designs for a low cost, atmospheric capable &amp;quot;drop ship&amp;quot; for ferrying troops / equipment / armored vehicles from orbiting carriers to front line battlefield locations and vice versa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The basic specifications:&lt;br /&gt;
* Low maintenance&lt;br /&gt;
* Atmospheric, aerodynamic design&lt;br /&gt;
* Robust design with redundant system protection &lt;br /&gt;
* Earth to LEO in &amp;lt; 2 minutes&lt;br /&gt;
* Mechanism for quickly loading / unloading without the need for cranes &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Albr Corp based its whole ship design around two large engines (that were designed for a much larger ship and would never normally be fitted to a ship this size) and a large loading ramp at the rear, leading to a spacious cargo hold, that would allow troops / vehicles to drive on and off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even with stiff competition from several other corporations, Albr Corp eventually won the contract with its design, mainly because the ship was designed from the ground up as a military drop ship and not a &amp;quot;militarised&amp;quot; version of a civilian ship like most other corporations proposed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This ship was named the AC33 but was more widely known as by its project name &amp;quot;Dropstar&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Venturestar==&lt;br /&gt;
Once the initial rush of manufacturing had tailed off, Albr Corp saw the opportunity to make more money with a civilian version. &lt;br /&gt;
The original design was edited, removing the large engines and fitting regular more economical versions (which also drastically improved cargo space), and also adding crew cabins and finishing the interior with less sparse fittings.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Improvements and changes==&lt;br /&gt;
Initial uptake of the Venturestar was not as high as expected, so after a few months of very low sales, the design was modified to add the same main engine nozzles (the cooling fins of the Dropstar are now redundant with normal engines) and wing end plates as the Dropstar, giving it a more utilitarian look.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The advertising campaign was stepped up to market the Venturestar as a military grade civilian freighter which set it apart from all the other similar ships which were marketed as &amp;quot;Luxury&amp;quot; freighters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These small changes, as superficial as they were, pushed the Venturestar from obscurity to being a ship that can be found throughout the known galaxy.&lt;br /&gt;

==Description==&lt;br /&gt;
The Deneb was designed as a low cost, no frills, atmospheric capable shuttle for ferrying goods (or passengers if the cargo hold is pressurised and seats fitted) from a planet's surface to orbital stations or large cargo ships in a low orbit and vice versa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its large cargo bay doors allow it to be loaded / unloaded quickly, meaning less time spent docked between trips.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Deneb is not a fast ship but its engine is very fuel efficient and reliable. Couple this with the fact that it can glide from a low orbit to a planet’s surface using virtually no fuel, even landing at larger airports runways, make this ship a very attractive purchase for independent courier companies on a tight budget.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Improvements and changes==&lt;br /&gt;
Later versions were fitted with crew cabins allowing the Deneb to be used for longer inter-planetary trips. This also allowed the Deneb to be fitted with a hyperdrive for inter-system travel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With longer travel distances and slow acceleration, the Deneb became a preferred target for pirates, so a gun point was also added and 8 missile slots making it a risky target for all but the most determined pirates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other uses==&lt;br /&gt;
Other common aftermarket configurations include:&lt;br /&gt;
* Lush cabins fitted for use as an executive shuttle&lt;br /&gt;
* Sensor arrays and science labs fitted for deep space research missions&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The military has also been known to fit long range ECM / jamming / sensing equipment for &amp;quot;electronic warfare&amp;quot; roles and fitting multi missile launchers to turn the Deneb into a &amp;quot;missile boat&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
