[font=Arial Narrow]~ iKytec started as a insignificant, family business back in 725 A.S. It began with the father, Lincon Whittic and the eldest son, Bradley Whittic, with a crew going from its origin planet of Manhattan to other parts of the New York system. It would be easy and safe work, visiting numerous bases and Pittsburgh for small handfuls of money to keep them on their feet. They started with the classic and most rugged of container ships, a Rhino - EL-HiL27 Freighter which was the only vessel at their command.
~ A few years moved by and business became good as contracts grew ever so slowly. In 734 A.S. they bought a second Rhino - EL-HiL27 Freighter which was commanded by the son, Bradley Whittic. They gained the access codes to California and Colorado and swapped their old Rhino's for the much more economic Gull - CT-49X shipping containers.
~ Competition became tough as they began to transport much more expensive loads. In time, the family fleet grew and they began to hire people to transport with them. Advanced companies like Ageira began to show interest in the business and its progress as they began to make a name for themselves in the yearly days of 745 A.S.
~ Later on in the same year, the father, Lincon Whittic, passed away and his son, Bradley Whittic took the reins. He invested in new transports like the Heron - CT-53 and new crews. He also established the Security division which firmly divided the family business into two leagues. The prospect of good money for just babysitting container ships within the confinements of Liberty was a welcome to many young adults.
~ iKytec began to make a name for themselves and masses of shares were bought into the company. They expanded into the house of Bretonia and its border worlds in 776 A.S. and later on into Kusari and Rheinland. The ships that did start the company was minuscule to what it became in the years of 780 A.S, Stork super transports and well armoured Eagles quickly became the unofficial icon of iKytec.
~ Interspace Commerce took a very keen interest in iKytec, much more than the other major corporations. They decided to buy iKytec from the Wittic family and run iKytec as a sub division from their own. Many were put off by the idea of this but the family accepted the offer and it's still coordinated and partially run by the family still but IC controls a large proportion of what happens within the company and how things are run.

[color=#99FF99]<span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:100%]- You have selected the category: Stork ...
/> [color=#CCCCCC]Stork Civil Super Transport - Top of the range. Six fully capable weapon platforms and a juicy energy core to go with it. No countermeasures but this baby will hit 350 easy. Pushing the upper envelopes of contemporary engineering, the grandest configuration of the venerable "Train" class vessel plays deft host to a chain of incredible mass, threading the fortunes of companies between asteroids and firefights alike with a finesse not easily believed until seen. While weight must be spread somewhat uneconomically to maintain structural integrity, hence the question additional pods, the relative compact nature of the ship belies the sheer tonnage she hauls. As such the vessel is a common sight across the houses, used by all.

Few vessels have seen as much popular and widespread use in Sirius as the CTE-6000. With her ease of maintenance, rugged reliability and near universal supply of readily available parts, the nimble Eagle often finds itself in service as the space superiority fighter of choice for pilots ranging from convoy escorts to house terrorists.

It fills the boots that the company requires in delivering a hard punch on hostile forces. Cheap and easy to acquire, they are first choice for the public.

Irregular in structure compared to most corporations, they put down their fancy hats and suits and like to think of themselves as a happy family. Everyone works best in a family environment. Every title can fly every ship. There are no boundaries with titles, only respect.

Sounds like a really hardcore powertrading idea to me. Well, I can only say that I like it.
The idea is simple and gives alot of cash, but here's one little thing I don't understand.
You mentioned that you're gonna use civilian weapons, and you croped from the wiki page 3 civilian guns. Are those things the only guns you're gonna use on your Eagles or those are like... an example or some 'special' civilian guns?
Welcome back. Still, you know better than most that trading factions are very difficult to start and even harder to keep going. they need something that really sets them apart from each other or makes them stand out. the msot successful have cool ships or exclusive cargo or something in their mission or RP that allows them to do what the others can't. Any words on what iKytec can bring to the table?

I was going for like a drop down effect. Like with the ships, I put in bold the ship name and had extra detail underneath. I put in bold civilian and had the civilian class 9 guns underneath. However all over civilian weapons are allowed. Class 8s, 7s etc. Also allow those CODES and everything else on that row.

One thing that makes us stand out, our ship line. Pure civilian. Also a requirement for custom lights. <- They are both ascetically. Now for relations, dodgy dealings, smuggling, maybe even have some mining under the miner ID and Interspace IFF. Heavily into supply runs with factions. Like objective cargo amounts in time frames for factions of all shapes and sizes.
Edit: May even have snubs under FL IFF and Mercenary ID. Roleplayed as hired guns and not employees. Thus they can do a bigger variety of activity until they inRP stop their contracts.
