Introduction
Formed in the dawn of Libertonian life in Sirius, Deep Space Engineering has held a central position of infrastructural development in the sector. The ongoing project of building and maintaining the physical gate/lane network has always been the primary directive of DSE, but it has lead to the emergence of several secondary roles; exploration, mineral extraction and processing, and ship construction also adorn the corporate profile. DSE is fundamental to the influential position of Liberty in Sirius today.
Ageira, Universal Shipping, and Deep Space Engineering share a threefold partnership - that is, Ageira creates the Jumpgate and Tradelane parts, Universal ships them to the DSE sites, and DSE places the parts into the rest of the Jumpgate or Tradelane machinery that they have constructed. This is how it has been done for centuries, and it has led to the growth and prospering of all companies involved. They are the architects of Sirius, linking the colonies together with Jumpgates and Tradelanes. Without their watchful eyes over the Jumpgate and Tradelane the system, Sirius would fall apart and the ease of travel and communication we take for granted would no longer exist.

Please make sure you are informed of what goods are restricted in each house before carrying any goods not mentioned above.
Deep Space Engineering DSE) is not just an easy way to make money. It is a full Role Play group, and role play is required.
You require a Skype account, a forum account, and need to be active in both. Active being 4 or more forum posts per month.
All Ships assigned by Deep Space Engineering DSE) to you are to remain property of Deep Space Engineering DSE). Under no circumstance are they to be altered, removed, or Sold. Do not shoot any neutral or friendly NPC. Your rep has been adjusted to make you as neutral as possible to everyone in your Zone of Influence.
When you have finished your shift, Two Million Sirius Credits (2,000,000 SC) are to remain on the vessel for the repairs of the next shift. Any extra is yours to keep.
Always follow instructions given to you by your Head of Department. our Management has been picked for their ability to co-ordinate and support our personnel.
Under no circumstances, do you divulge company intel to anyone. IE: Where the scrap is sold.
Although we are a 'not for profit' group, we do have finances. All employees are asked to pay a donation towards the upkeep of Deep Space Engineering. This will be explained in further detail after acceptance.
Baltimore Shipyard is the primary shipyard used by Deep Space Engineering, and was constructed to service overall DSE operations. Baltimore Shipyard was originally constructed by Deep Space Engineering in 699 A.S., after they moved their headquarters to the planet Pittsburgh. The shipyard is known for its quality manufacturing processes on the construction of numerous vessels, including civilian liners and yachts, and even a number of smaller craft such as the "Chesapeake" class shuttle. Although the shipyard takes construction orders to manufacture civilian vessels to the client's specifications, there is usually a waiting list as priority is given to Deep Space Engineering transports and luxury liners. The Xenos are also reputed to have contacts at Baltimore that supply them with spare parts for small fighters and occasionally bombers, but this is always strenuously denied by DSE executives
Planet Pittsburgh, New York
Planet Pittsburgh is the location of the Deep Space Engineering headquarters. The planet was not considered a good candidate for terraforming and remained sparsely populated until a full-scale mineral survey in 650 AS pinpointed deposits of Boron in the form of borax salts deep within the Corridera Plateau. A mining operation was established on the planet in 660 AS by Deep Space Engineering to exploit these deposits, and it is now the only raw material extraction facility within Liberty space. Pittsburgh is covered by a single vast desert, broken only by large rocky outcroppings that were big enough to escape being swallowed up by the sand. Since the success of DSE's boron mining concerns, there has been an increasing need for miners and other workers. Many refugees that come seeking asylum in Liberty often get redirected to Pittsburgh to find work in the boron mines, and to live in the cities that are slowly sprawling outwards around the mining facilities, and Liberty authorities estimate that Pittsburgh's population will reach the 85 million mark by 820 A.S.
Camrose Supply Depot, Alberta
Camrose Supply Depot serves several roles in Alberta: it functions as a supply depot for the Ageira Technologies production facility located elsewhere in the system, provides support for the scientific teams working on Planet Edmonton, resupplies any security patrols in Alberta, and, finally, it is able to function as a storage depot for any future construction in the system. The facility is scheduled to undergo several upgrades to it's original structure.
Doe Industries Space Port, New York
Doe Industries, a division of Deep Space Engineering, specializes in large scale logistical solutions. D.I.S.P is a collaboration of faith for Liberty between Deep Space Engineering, Interspace Commerce and the Gas Miners Guild to better supply Liberty with essential fuels and supplies for her superfluous economy.
Survey Vessel Armstrong, Coronado
Survey Vessel Armstrong was sold to the Reavers, and is now presumed destroyed or captured.
It is good to see that more of the Big Three are coming back. I and others in USI are also happy to have worked with DSE since its revival, and based on what I have seen so far, I look forward to further interaction.

I'm a little confused about the positive stance towards Daumann and the neutral stance towards the Mollys. Since Daumann is kind of a big competitor to DSE for space-side construction projects (the big business they both focus on), and the Liberty-Rheinland war just ended, I'd expect there to be some extensive roleplay justifying anything besides a "let's engage in corporate sabotage" type of attitude. Is there anything to that effect? Similarly, the Mollys don't have much love for outsiders that I'm aware of; what's with the 0.0 Neutral rating towards them? (Also, it's Crayter Republic, not Craytor.)
Aside from that, it all looks good. The idea of all the ships in the faction being faction property is an interesting one, and I wish you luck with that experiment. Meta-experimental projects like that in Freelancer are something I've got a lot of love for, and I love to see new ones.
Hi Petitioner, allow me to make a couple of clarifications.
Our relationship with DHC stems back to over a year ago where DSE and DHC were over the war and the detrimental effects it was having on the respective houses. DSE's angle was to offer DHC an offer that was far better than one any Gallic company could offer in return for their support of DSE desire to strengthen Liberty's economy to be able to take on the might of the GRN. Rheinland's economy was on the verge of collapse due to the cost of war so the intent is to offer DHC opportunities to make a lot of money while DSE capitalised on cheaper manufacturing and the ability to import precious metals from Rheinland via DHC. Yes, technically you would think that we would be direct competitors however we're trying a different approach to strengthen both economies through cooperation.
The Molly's also stem back from our earlier days when we tried importing gold ore from Bretonia. BMM basically blew us off and John Doe (ex president of DSE) was sympathetic to their cause. We made contact with them and had clandestine relationship with them which filled both pockets. Our reputation of them still stands as there has been no negative interaction since. If the molly's have changed their minds, then we'll let role-play direct that outcome.
As for ships being owned by the company, this is no experiment. We've employed this policy ever since our creation in 2010 and has worked really well for us.
