## History

### Aetheria Company, 2016 - 2020

Around 2016, Aetheria Company was founded. Not much is known about the company, as most of the documents have either been lost or destroyed.

Aetheria Company found limited success in producing many different types of machinery, including small arms, automobiles, ships, military vehicles and even spacecraft. The company reportedly peaked in 2017 - 2018. However, none of their products ever came into large-scale production.

In late 2019, the company started to go downhill, with very little to no sales in the time period. Aetheria Company eventually filed for bankruptcy in early 2020, just months before the Great Collapse of the original BW.

### Aiteria Works A&T, Ltd., 2022 - Present

#### Formation

In 2022, after 2 years of inactivity, the dwindling Aetheria Company was bought by LuckyLsoer2. The company was renamed Aiteria Works Automotive & Transportation, Ltd., and shifted their focus into the automotive industry, with an emphasis on efficiency and affordability. They introduced their debut line, the Aiteria Works Swallowtail, in late August the same year.

#### Aiteria-Hemerium

On September 2nd, 2022, Aiteria Works A&T, Ltd. announced its intention to form a new division that designs commercial vehicles. The company named the brand "Aiteria-Hemerium". The newly formed brand debuted the **Aiteria-Hemerium Eudonia** vans the same day.

#### International Touring Division 1

On October 22nd, 2022, International Touring Division 1 started opening for entry submission for their World Tour Season 2. About a week later, Aiteria Works announced their intention of participating in TD1, as shown in a tweet.

The company eventually designed the Aiteria Works 110 Esper based on their first supercar, the Aiteria Works 101 Alexanor, using a turbocharged version of the initial car's engine. A second entry was also under development at the same time in relative secrecy, dubbed the "Linné". The result was the Aiteria Works 120P H-perimental, a hydrogen/petrol bi-fuel supercar using the experimental AWE-H/P V12 engine. The car also included an innovative dynamic suspension system that improved stability when steering at high speeds. Both cars were officially registered for TD1 on December 2nd.

#### 24 Hours of Blockmans International. Formation of Motorsport Aiteria

On April 21st, 2023, in light of the upcoming 2023 24 Hours of Blockmans International event in late July, Aiteria Works officially confirmed their entry into Blockmans, specifically in the Prototype 1 racing class. Furthermore, the company also announced the formation of their racing division, Motorsport Aiteria.

With the goal of the H-perimental project in mind, the company eventually developed 2 Aiteria Works M H-perimental BMP1 entries for submission to Blockmans. Both cars will be running on hydrogen only for the duration of the race to demonstrate the performance and reliability of their newly developed hydrogen-capable internal combustion engines.
