But this led to the Insurrection War during the height of Trident's space age in GY 2370. With assistance from the Aethi Imperium, the Trident Foundries had secured 3 local systems by GY 2360, and colonised them, they are “owned” under the faction and protected by them but have separate governing bodies on them, to Trident leadership on Vergesso. Run by the Lancia family and several subdivisions, Trident made great strides in AI research, Engineering construction techniques, and Fusion tech, where their scientific progression as a species had leaned heavily on these aspects, in some cases being more efficient than the Aethi in certain departments. They were also considered as the planet’s de-facto leadership due to their great power on the world, and eventually took over the leadership roles officially. With the drive project a huge success, the Trident company had an entire solar system to use as their resource pool and quickly dominated Vergesso’s markets, to the point where they now run the majority of research, industrial and military operations for the planet. This eventually led to a success towards the point where in-orbit space travel was quite common and led to the discovery of the much superior Aethi race in GY 2324. During the space age, a company called Trident Foundries was heading most of the space related projects and contracts on Vergesso and had been using every drop of available resources to them on the Jump Drive project. They were pushed towards renewable energy sources and efficient extraction techniques due to the poor resources of the planet (at first), this then pushed them down the Science and Engineering routes, eventually leading them to the point of the first space age. The initial population of the planet were not knowledgeable enough to replicate the technology from their colony ship exactly, and started “again” from a roughly early-21st-century state of technology. Vergesso is a sparsely populated arid planet with sparse amounts of natural resources. Originally set up in GY 2218, the colony eventually grew to the point where it supported its own civilisation, culture and technology separate from other humans. Trident Foundries is made up of descendants of a splintered Odium colony armada, that was lost in transit to its intended destination, arriving in the Vergesso system eventually to then found a colony on the somewhat habitable world of Vergesso.
Trident Foundries maintains diplomatic relations with the xenos Aethi Imperium and RedEagle Confederacy, as well as the nomadic Nova Fleet. Sirius Shipyards is a recently formed corporation that seeks to move shipbuilding outside the Vergesso system.Lancia Developments is an R+D company that develops new technologies for the Foundries, often in secret.City-Gate Project is a manufacturing company primarily dedicated to producing the groundbreaking City-Gate in orbit of Vergesso.Angel Works handles logistics and mining, in addition to maintaining its own mining fleet of self designed ships.Infinite FleetWorks manufactures civilian vessels, shuttlecraft, fighter craft and utility vessels, often of a boxy disposition.Hyperion FleetWorks tends to deal with smaller military and armed civilian vessels, and is a subcontractor for PlazWorks' smaller vessels.Vergesso Driveyards previously managed most of the military's vessels before the Task Force Arkis introduction.PlazWorks Shipyard and Construction Company specializes in military vessels and weapons of all sizes, and were a major player in the military after the Task Force Arkis was introduced.Trident Foundries consists of multiple large companies that specialize in different areas of industry: Their primary military arm is the Trident Star Navy. Trident Foundries is the military and industrial arm of the civilisation, as well as the leaders and diplomats, keeping the civilization running smoothly.
