{DHC} Daumann Heavy Construction

[jammi]

Really glad to see you guys back at this! All my DHC encounters so far have been enjoyable, and the personalities behind this effort seem to ensure DHC is in safe hands. So long as you can keep the current energy going, this looks as close to being a dead cert as you're going to get.

Minor lore quibble on dates though:

• IDS 133781(i) - "The Ring also houses the Oder Shipyard. It has served as headquarters for Daumann Heavy Construction since it was first built in 310 AS. Engine Components, Construction Machinery, and Side Arms are the primary products of the factories around us.").
  
  
• 065712(i) - "The Ring is probably the most recognizable symbol of Rheinland and a source of great pride among its people. Originally a loose amalgamation of shipyards, habitats, manufacturing centers, and smelting plants built to support the first great push into space from the surface of New Berlin, the structures soon merged into the shape from which its name is derived. The Ring is now a single, massive complex that produces vital components for Rheinland industry."
  
  
• IDS 065708(i) - "One of the first large-scale projects undertaken by Daumann Heavy Construction, the Oder Shipyards, is the largest in Sirius. In the past the majority of the Rheinland Navy was constructed in its massive bays, but after the destruction of the Navy during the 80-Years War and the economic crash that followed, Daumann has been forced to expand into the less lucrative fields of commercial and civilian ship construction. Nevertheless, the shipyard continues to produce small military ships, using many components produced locally at The Ring's many factories."

Oder Shipyard was apparently constructed substantially after The Ring's development, with Oder being one of DHC's first major projects. The next earliest reference I could find to DHC after that was Crete's infocard, which describes them sponsoring Franz Schulman to explore the region in 450AS.
