Rowlett Aerospacial Research

Incorporated in 602 AS and assimilated into Ageira as a subsidiary 3 years later Rowlett Aerospace Research is a classic example of the Libertonian corporate machine in action.

Starting initially as a thesis project by three doctors of Material Science into the nature of dark matter and potential uses thereof in shipbuilding and weaponry, preliminary tests offered positive enough results to attract the attention of venture capital.

With moneyed interests looking with keen interest the trio over-promised and was flooded with credits in return, elevating themselves from recent graduates to research team leads overnight.

New management was sourced and quickly started touting the revolutionary new technologies the company had barely researched. New installations were built in the dark matter clouds of Texas, grandiose in scale but of dubious utility. Real, valuable research was indeed conducted at Rowlett, but it was far from its main purpose, it becoming a mere vessel for a pump and dump scheme.

The gambit once again paid off, as this time it was Ageira who came knocking, unwilling to let a potential competitor grow in the wreckage of their own mistakes. With even more credits in hand, they bought Rowlett out, took whatever research it had into their own databanks and then slowly but surely ran it into the ground, bleeding it of funding and talent until it was nothing more than a name on an archive.

Rowlett has since changed hands numerous times, first between vulture funds and then finally intellectual property rights managers trying to keep track of the numerous obligations Ageira has towards the Liberty government and the creative accounting schemes needed to dodge as many of them as possible.

The Rowlett name and whatever associated assets remained untouched until 834 AS when renewed interest by private investors led to its revival, with its new managing director Brad Lundmark promising a return the serious R&D work that Ageira is known for.

Alright besties listen up, here's the sitch!

One of our gals stumbled into this crusty depot floating in █████████████. So what, right? Plenty of weird stuff out in there. Well it was in a pretty good, out of the way spot, so we took a note of where it was and scraped what info we could about it.

Then the other day I was looking into it when I was waiting for something to land on the lanes and I got something *juicy*. Turns out the depot belonged to this Ageira research subsidiary called Rowlett somethingsomething. Had to dig deep into some archives for this cause it hasn't been anything more than a name on a datasheet for almost a century. It was in property management hell, looking for some idiot venture capitalist to sink some creds into it.

So everyone give a warm welcome to the new manager of Rowlett, Brad! Cause lets be honest, if anyone else tried to pull this off we'd get got like, immediately. We had to do a little bit of credentials forging, but we snatched it up! So now we have 1. A tasty new attack vector into Ageira subnets and B) A legit claim to a depot that basically no one knows where it actually is.

Now if you've been keeping an eye on our subnets you'll know we got some besties who were in on some high-profile projects back in their Ageira days who've been dying to make some cool shit. All they need is the facilities and the materials. You see where I'm going with this? We play our cards right and we can get our biggest-brained boys THE best conditions to do their thing in.

For now we're just going to start reformatting Rowlett, patch the old girl up then expand. Brad is handling the comms side of the equation. Keep your eyes peeled!
