### TriStar Aerospace (TSTA)

Formed from the merger of aerospace giants - Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Space X - TriStar Aerospace has rapidly become a leading force in the shipbuilding industry within the Sol system. With an unwavering commitment to quality and innovation, the company constructs ships of all sizes, from compact tugboats and fighters to imposing battleships and carriers.

TriStar Aerospace manages a network of shipyards and trade stations throughout the Sol system, servicing a broad range of clientele. Leveraging the expertise of its founding companies, it produces state-of-the-art vessels at the cutting edge of space exploration and technology. To protect its facilities and conveyances, the company also deploys a modest security force.

However, as a manufacturer of military hardware, TriStar Aerospace has drawn criticism for its involvement in various Sol system conflicts, with critics alleging the company prioritizes profits over ethics. This controversy is fueled by evidence of its products often ending up with paramilitary and space pirate groups.
