[size=medium]Synopsis

Daumann Heavy Construction is the largest mining and manufacturing firm in Rheinland. We used to be the only approved vendor for the military and police, we built their ships and we produced their equipment. During the 80-Years War, we enjoyed a position of utmost supremacy in the Rheinland corporate world. We were unchallenged for military contracts and controlled a fair portion of civil ones as well. However, the events at the end of the war splintered the entire infrastructure. Alongside internal troubles, Republican Shipping took an iron hold of the transport market, and Kruger shifted its operations to compete with us in the Omegas. While Kruger would never recover from its losses in the 80-Years War, they still remain a solid competitor. We went from a monopoly to a company struggling to retain previously unchallenged markets.

While challenges present themselves at every turn, all is not lost. We will expand into new markets, and begin retaking businesses previously ours. We will reduce our reliance on Republican'€™s price-gouging, and make sure they do not run unchecked in the Rheinland trade market. As resources dwindle, we will continue to search for new mining fields. We will brave the dangers of the far Omegas and even the Omicrons if we must. We will retake our place as the only corporation Rheinland needs.

History

The Rheinlanders would quickly establish an emergency state for themselves, in order to rapidly conduct decisions during the process of colonization. This state, although composed of the Reichstag housing hundreds of representatives, would come to politically mimic the 19th century German Empire, thus developing a very patriotic and imperialist tendency. With the discovery of the Stuttgart and Dresden systems, Rheinland's food problems would be a past memory, while it's mining and shipbuilding industry would completely skyrocket, eventually producing a large, but resource consuming navy. This navy was widely regarded as able to singlehandedly conquer any other house in the sector, even by outside analysts. What Rheinland did not have was a cheap source of H-Fuel required to effectively maintain such a navy. A Kruger Minerals operation sent to Sigma-13 became a catalyst for the conflict, with Empress Leicht declaring the system Rheinland territory a few weeks afterwards.

Contribution to Economy

Rheinland is particularly reliant on the export of diamonds, with vast mining enterprises in Dresden and Omega-11. Daumann Heavy Construction also operates a number of stations in Omega-7 and Omega-3, mining copper, cobalt and hydrocarbons to fuel the shipbuilding industry. Leipzig Station is crucial to processing the minerals into high-temperature alloys. Niobium is also a key ingredient, and is imported from Kusari.

Popular Revolution (672 A.S.)

On Von Rohe's Day, 672 A.S., Daumann mining stations in Dresden were seized and locked down by miners in a widespread general strike. Supplied by Bundschuh revolutionaries, the miners managed to hold out on the station for weeks before word finally got out to the rest of Rheinland. Three months later, sympathetic workers disable other Daumann facilities on Planet New Berlin, joining in the protests. With the industrial heart of the economy grinding to a halt, riots beginning to pop up all across Rheinland, the government is finally forced to give in.And Daumann was forced to improve working conditions on lezipag

Current Day

Currently DHC maintains the slumping Dresden mining operations while rapidly expanding into the Omega regions. The Company the safer and more inner operations of the Munich system to pay for the base line costs of developing further into the Omega systems.

Omega 7 is currently home to Daumann Heavy Construction's newest asset Briesen mining and processing facility at the edge of Rheinland territory. Using this base as a jumping off point Daumann employees will be aimed toward expanding known fields and moving into uncharted territory as they continue to develop Rheinland resources for the good of the people, no matter the cost.

[font=Arial Narrow]Products We Make

[font=Arial Narrow]

~ A Wraith Product

DHC - Banshee:

As a steed is bred for its strength as well as its grace, this majestic fighter carries on the long and distinguished tradition of Rheinland military craft. The Banshee is simply the finest ship of its kind. Its craftsmanship, its unwavering precision and reliability, and its substantial offerings for an accessible price all demonstrate Rheinland's commitment to excellence.

[color=#66FF99]DHC - Phantom:

Rheinland ships are generally known for their power and reliability, more so than their agility. However, of late the newer versions of the Banshee and Valkyrie have been adding more of that power and reliability to their engines. Both ships are using better, lighter metals that are stronger then others, so the naval ship builders can get away with putting less thickness onto the frames.

The Phantom in particular is an exception to the Rheinland rule about agility. The ship is relatively lightly armed and armored, but its agility matches that of any light fighter on the market. Anyone expecting the "slow but steady" typical Rheinlanders is going to get a rather nasty shock.

Primarily used for police work and interception, the Phantom is a staple of the Military Police units in Rheinland, and deservedly so.

DHC - Tiger Shark:

The Tiger Shark is a unique vessel with its foundations in the bygone days of Rheinland's commercial might, designed as it was to serve the desires of the young, the rich and the reckless as a sporty racing vehicle. Those Sharks seeing modern production are engaged in more militaristic ventures, from escorting Republic convoys to serving as enforcement vehicles for off duty members of the Rheinland Military or Police looking to bring in bounty money by hunting down pirates and dissidents. While considered expensive to some, the Tiger Shark is a solid workhorse vessel capable of delivering plenty of punch to folks wishing to ruin a good day.

DHC - Valkyrie:

The might that flows through the arms of the Chancellor is epitomized in the god-like attributes of this fighter class. The Valkyre is the divine union of precise machination and pure, ever-glowing might; and, therefore, is most recognized as the righteous hammer of justice for the Rheinland peacekeeping forces.

DHC - Wraith:

Determined to keep ahead in the arms race between lawfuls and unlawfuls, Rheinland was forced to upgrade its already potent ships. As with the Phantom, the Wraith utilizes several new technologies into the base frame. Improved engines and power-plant, along with lighter and stronger armor make the Wraith surprisingly agile. It's no light fighter, but a skilled pilot can keep it out of enemy fire enough to ensure victory.

This vessel is highly restricted, much like its lighter brother. Only elite Military Police units are allowed this expensive craft, along with authorized military personnel.

DHC - Mjolnir:

The Rheinland Federal Police needed a ship capable of dealing punishment to smugglers and pirates alike, and Oder Shipyard delivered. Packing a huge power core, superior shielding and armor, and weapons hardpoints to spare, the Mjolnir is designed to give the Police the heavy hand they need to deal with well-armed unlawfuls. It is the difference between a SWAT team, and a lone cop on the beat. Never intended to be capable of lasting in massed fleet engagements, but rather the ship is built to last until help arrives.

DHC - Bergelmir:

The original N01 Rheinland Bomber was crafted as an almost reflexive move on the part of the Rheinland military to the disasterous losses of their assumingly immortal capital ship fleet at the hands of the GMG during the 80 year war. Pressed with the task of constructing a vessel capable of slipping past blockades to strike at vital supply depots and stations seemingly beyond the reach of the Chancellor's flag fleet. These early bombers were little more than cumbersome energy plants wrapped in armor, built in haste from the scavenged remains of gunboats taken from assembly lines.

The modern "Snubnose" Rheinland bomber bears little resemblance to its predecessor. Ultra compact, sleek and possessing the height of Rheinland's renowned reactor technologies, the N58 is a testament to lessons learned and the murderous efficiency of the Chancellor's Military.

DHC - Fafnir:

The blow struck against Rheinland following the events of the war of 800 A.S. placed a heavy burden on Rheinland's already struggling economy and military might. With her dearly bought fleets reduced to the broken testament to a curious period in humanity's history it seemed as though little could be gained save a lesson.

One which Rheinland took to heart.

The Fafnir bomber, brought into the field on the immediate brink of a long forseen war is the result of nearly twenty years of studious labor on how to best break the back of a foe's capital fleet... and restore Rheinland's military glory on the field of battle.

DHC - Humpback:

With a cavernous space at its core, the Humpback has a monstrously huge appetite for cargo which it mightily secures with its unyielding armor shielding and devastating weapon potential. Being credited as key in the modernization and economic success of Rheinland, it remains a greatly prized vessel.

DHC - Ragnar:

"Ragnar" follows same basic design of Rheinland's transport ships. However, increased power core capabilities, advanced hull plating and powerful weapons array make this vessel unique among transports. Although its main purpose is transporting classified or precious cargo, lately police utilizes several of these ships in effort to cut of smuggler routes.

DHC - Behemoth:

Following the end of the 80 year war in 669 A.S the Rheinland economy was in shambles. Government bailouts saw Stuttgart opened for plundering at the hands of Synth foods and unemployed miners and dissident citizenry caused crime to skyrocket planetside and space alike. These conditions coupled with the low moral of a poorly paid police and military force allowed for space faring piracy to skyrocket overnight.

Boasting a defensive capabilities and a hull that pushes the boundaries of even heavy Rheinlandish manufacturing philosophy to extremes, the Behemoth is in every way a vessel designed to restore Rheinland's commercial might regardless of what obstacle she must bulldoze along the way.

DHC - Colossus:

A beast of a ship designed to laugh off the concerns of traversing the burning asteroid fields of Dresden and the Omegas, the Colossus is equipped with special armor plating and enormous cockpit shields that grant it the ability to plow through whatever obstacles are foolish enough to loom before it, natural or otherwise.

More than one such vessel has come into berth with fresh detritus of pulverized asteroids melded into her frame... Or a would be pirate not quick enough to get out of the way while issuing vain demands.

DHC - Rheinland Gunboat:

This ship is used largely as a tactical support unit, however due to its speed it can also be used as a deep incursion craft for contact teams or recon.

DHC - Rheinland Cruiser:

This ship class has been produced in large numbers by the Rheinland military and serves as the veritable backbone of the Chancellor's fleet.

DHC - Rheinland Battleship:

Chief among vessels in the Chancellor's fleet, this class of ship is the tactical "checkmate move" in the operations of the Rheinland military.

Not greedy, just a capitalist. :cool:
NO ! My idea, you no have. :P

[Tachyon]

Here are things you can edit:

- I can't find the IMG in the Diplomacy
- Clarification of ZOI, it's ... too general

And a personal note: Daumann -Robuste- Konstruktionen, I suggest picking the original German name for Daumann : Daumann Hoch- und Tiefbau
-> Thats just my personal opinion, it's not too important

Anything else is nice to read and great job has been done
