Heisson Aeronautics

Founded by Mark Heisson early in the 22nd century, Heisson Aeronautics maintains exclusive production of jump clock technology.

This stranglehold makes it the most powerful conglomerate in the Starguild.

Mark Heisson had championed interstellar expansion, but having found Kronos, a near earthlike world, he endorsed the ban on further exploration.

At that time, Heisson Aeronautics exploration efforts had only developed Maester, Ancell, and Kronos.

Meager results compared to its Exotech rival.

Heisson Aeronautics underperformance stems from Mark Heisson’s tyrannical control and his obsession with political power.

By 2150, the father of the Starguild Conventions priority was to dominate the Starguild Council.

For decades he had bowed to political demands to surrender his technology.

But with mankind’s starfaring future secured, he focused on shaping the Starguild to his image.

Heisson Aeronautics stagnated after Mark’s death (2173).

Klaus Engels, acting CEO and devout Heisson zealot, vowed to hold Heisson Aeronautics awaiting a suitable Heisson heir.

Farad Hassan best summarized the state of affairs within Heisson Aeronautics (2194).

“But Heisson has problems of its own.

They’re very stagnant as a corporation.

Their R&D depends on the hope that one of Heisson’s heirs shares his genius.

Their stranglehold on space travel generates an unbelievable amount wealth even by Starcaste standards.

But they have the corporate maneuverability of a cow.”
