Solace Defense Systems

Solace Defense Systems was a company that developed weapons that would be used by both UNSC and Insurrectionist units. However, the weapons developed by Misiriah Armories overshadowed the company greatly, and had been mostly forgotten. It soon skyrocketed back to wealth in 2553, when the Human-Covenant War had ended, with their customers often being Insurrectionists. Their lower-quality weapons, such as the Solace Defense Rifle, were often found in Black Markets, this mainly due to the company's unwillingness to continue production of the weapon. It was later bought out by Misiriah Armories in 2599, who ended up dissolving it completely.
It was founded in 2501 by Declan Solace Trunal. It's goal was to provide sufficient weapons that could be used, as long as they were paid afterwards.
It's first successful weapon was the Mark-I SDF, or the Solace Defense Rifle, and made the Company popular in the first place. After the Mk. I SDF's success, they released the SD-AR, a few years later.
