Description
"Terraforming gone wrong": these words describe well planet Eden, its runaway greenhouse gases, its scorching heat, its unbreathable atmosphere. But these words don’t begin to capture the spirit of its people.
Back in 2317, as they disembarked from colony ship « Enlightenment » after nearly 30 years of a slower-than-light journey, the first settlers knew there would be no such thing as outside help. They had to turn their icy planet into an habitable one, and were confident it would become the lush paradise Earth ceased to be.
As things went wrong, Eden’s citizens witnessed their world turning slowly into the scorching hell it is today. In order to survive their new environment, they radically embraced genetic engineering. Besides creating plant species, they also massively engineered the human body, thus breaking an almost universal taboo.
When hyperdrive technology reached 61 Cygni in the 27th century, Eden’s people stopped being desperate for survival, and the system resumed an ordinary development. However, three centuries of isolation have shaped society until today : mankind is quite different here than anywhere else in the galaxy. And only here does the Solar Federation tolerate an exception to its ban on human genetic engineering.
Nowadays, the system is a hotspot for gene-fashionistas (green skin and horns are all the rage right now), and hosts many private or government-run research facilities. Tourists are commonplace too, enjoying the sights of this world, so exotic yet so close.
History
Founded in 2632 with the fusion of two shipyard from Earth, the Mandarava Dynamics of India and the Central European Csepel Űrhajóművek. Both corporations came to life on the remnants Haber Corporation left on Earth. In the first time growth of both company was slow but steady, mostly relying on cheap local workforce, and were decentralized even after the fusion. The merge then gave the opportunity of gradually establish a more centralized and standardized corporation, which lead to an accelerated expansion and increase in overall quality. Slowly the corporation assimilated other shipyards around the globe and became one of the mayor spacecraft manufacturer in the Solar Federation. They produced a majority of ships used by the SolFed Navy during the Occupation of Epsilon Eridani and the War for Hope.
Currently they produce a wide selection of ships, for civilian, military and police use. One of their well known craft is the Kanara Interceptor, the standard fighter and interceptor vessel used by the SolFed Police Force.
