## Overview

### About

Diamondback Industries started by creating aircraft for civilian use, with Diamondback aircraft being considered a common sight on human worlds. The company also built and disassembled spacecraft. They had facilities on a number of human worlds, including Earth, Venus and Mars.

Since their founding, DBI has grown to have involvement in every aspect of the Earth Federation.

## History

Diamondback Industries Meridian Shipyards was responsible for constructing the *Dawn*-class cruiser alongside seven other cruisers beginning in 2210 AD.

During the Wolf System Rebellion in 2211 AD, the Diamondback industries' Apoapsis Shipyards in the Wolf system became a battlefield.

Beginning in 2216, Diamondback Industries announced that they would cease producing the *Dawn-class* heavy cruisers. Ending the line with eight original *Dawn-class* vessels produced. EFN disagreed with the decisions and assessments and instead felt a flight two is needed. After some communications between GFY and EFN, the EFN agrees and gives the full technical data plans (TDP) of the *Dawn-class* to GFY as well as having specialized equipment developed by **DBI**. Immediately **Diamondback Industries** attempted to sue and fight the EFN over this claim both politically and legally, however very little was ever gained from this. Eventually DBI returned to continuing production of smaller civilian and military vessels and small small craft.

In 2221 AD, Diamondback Industries is contracted by the EDF to restart their shipyards and lines for *Dawn-class Block 2* production, as well as future 6th gen vessels on a war time footing. DBI refuses being diametrically opposed to the EDF, as DBI is a multi-system company, having a large operation not just in sol, but the 4th and 11th fleet systems. DBI personnel were given the choice to either work their position under the EDF banner or executed as local system terrorists. About 90% of the effected personnel opted to either flee to DBI stations in other systems or seek asylum with the Republic of Ganymede. DBI attempts further delay a hostile takeover by disbanding and sabotaging much of their Sol holdings, assets, and deleting of schematics, technical data, and classified documents.

Within weeks of the initial demands, the EDF moved forward with seizing all DBI assets in Sol to forcefully restart the Dawn production line and continue production of the Manta, Osprey, and other assorted military and industrial vessels. By 2222 AD, EDF had rebranded and restaffed all of the seized DBI facilities with personnel and production of the *Dawn-class* *Block 2* resumed.

## Trivia

* The name of the company comes from the word *Diamondback*, which comes from the Diamondback Rattlesnake, leading to the logical conclusion that the company was based in the Southwest of North America. Also supporting this is the fact the top floor of the DBI HQ on Venus has a Hispanic/Native American theme.
