Marasi Aeronautics

Marasi Aeronautics Inc., stylised as MARASI, is a Terran defence company. It is the fourth largest defence contractor of the Federation. It produces strike craft for the Federal Navy. It was one of the first corporations to expand outside of the Federation. It has multiple contracts with the Tesrat Republic, Menya Union, Surben Republic and even Mirdesh constituencies. It produces strike craft, but also corvettes and even light frigates for foreign navies. It is based in Hyderabad on Earth, though most of its industrial operation happen on Mars and Ganymede.
Marasi was initially formed as Marasi International in 2048. This makes it one of the oldest still active companies of the Federation. It was at the time specialized in high-end manufacturing of electronics. By the annexation of India into the Trans-atlantic Union, Marasi had reconverted into making their own fighter jets in house. It quickly accepted the new nation and started collaborating with it. The old European and North American jet companies such as Lockheed and Airbus were unable to match the prices offered by Marasi, and it rapidly became the newly-founded First Commonwealth's main and ultimately only fighter jet manufacturer. Over the next hundred years it would become the main contractor of the Federation. Marasi drones and fighters were generally sufficient to destroy any form of uprising on Earth. By the 2200s, Marasi had started working on extra-atmospheric fighters. These were called strike craft, a name still used today. By the 2240s, these had been well developed. Thanks to its long history with the Terran government, Marasi secured a near monopoly of strike craft production. This monopoly persists to this day. Marasi strike craft are considered some of the best in the galaxy. The iconic Albatross bomber is a symbol of Terran military might.
It was acquired in 2589 by the Frijkstadt Corporation. In 2676, it launched a joint venture with Cardrys Technologies, Kiratek Developments, to design and produce strike craft for the Tesrat Republic and the dominions loosdly based on Marasi designs.
