Description

Deep Space Engineering (often abbreviated as DSE) is the brawn of Liberty Industry. DSE constructs the space stations, the Military ships, the processing facilities, and -most importantly- the jump gates and trade lanes, under special contract from Ageira technologies. All gate and lane construction is done under close inspection of an Ageira supervisor, and all key components are delivered as "Black Boxes" that are simply plugged in at the appropriate places. These black box components are constructed to defeat scanning attempts, and will self-destruct if any attempt is made to open them.

DSE convoys can be found traveling through the four Houses, but are most commonly seen in Liberty space. Their Heavy Lifter ships are almost always seen around Liberty space stations. If there is heavy construction to be done, DSE will be there.

History

51 A.S. - Monument Engineering is formed from several Manhattan construction companies.

51 A.S. - Monument Engineering is awarded a contract to build the Roosevelt Shipyards.

58 A.S. - Monument Engineering completes the Roosevelt Shipyards and begins building larger ships using the Vahalla engines for colonization.

65 A.S. - Monument Engineering establishes a Boron processing plant on Planet Houston, thus colonizing it.

126 A.S. - Monument Engineering is awarded the contract to build a research facility in the Texas system for Vahalla Research company.

128 A.S. - Monument Engineering completes construction of the Dallas, an enourmous research and manufacturing facility in the Texas system.

142 A.S. - Monument Engineering is awarded the contract to purify the water on Planet Los Angeles, so turning Planet L.A. into the food basket of Liberty. This is done by bombarding the planet with Ice Asteroids. Bombardment begins three years later.

150 A.S. - Monument Engineering changes it's name to Deep Space Engineering.

155 A.S. - Vahalla research is now Agiera Technologies.

180 A.S. - The full scale jump gate test is a success. DSE and Agiera go into a partnership to mass produce them can start within five years.

185 A.S. - Universal Shipping is awarded the shipping contract to move jump gate parts from Agiera to the construction sites where DSE assembles them.

189 A.S. - The First jump Gates were constructed by DSE, in partnership with Agiera Technologies, linking the New York and Colorado systems.

202 A.S. - Jump gate linking New York and Texas are completed.

207 A.S. - Jump gate from New York to California is opened.

218 A.S. - Agiera and DSE form a partnership and fund a new company to stimulate jump gate construction in other Houses. This new company is named Interspace Commerce.

300 A.S. - Agiera Technologies invents the Trade lane. DSE starts building trade lanes throughout Liberty Space.

500 A.S. - The Texas Incident occurs.


Standard Operations

Standard daily operations consist primarily of gate/lane construction and maintenance, supplies hauling, mining, and survey exploration. All operations contribute to gate/lane construction in one form or another; mineral deposits are sought out and surveyed, after mining operations are established they supply shipyards and component factories with material resource whose products are then used to maintain the actual construction sites. DSE is not completely self-sustained, however, primarily in regard to materials and freight hauling. Many necessary materials are imported from other houses and Universal Shipping and various independent traders aid in hauling whiteboxes to outlying sites.

Engineering Department: Engineers are more or less split into the two major operational areas of gate/lane construction and ship construction. Engineers are also on duty for field repairs.

Freight Department: Most freight routes consist of hauling Gate/Lane Parts to one of the three large construction sites in Hokkaido, Okinawa, and Tau-23. Subsequent legs are dependent on several factors, but all circuits inevitably end in import of materials or components to Liberty.

Mining Department: Non-planetary mining is based primarily in Colorado with a heavy focus on the Copperton field, though low-yield chemical extraction is still ongoing in the Silverton field. Other than mining, the only other major responsibility of the Mining Department is prospecting.

Science, Research, and Technology Department: The DSE SRT Department is relatively small, consisting mostly of scientists accompanying DSE ships in the field. However, the department also consists of a few scientific vessels each with either specific or broad assignments in deep space. The secondary directive of the SRT Department is to maintain the integrity of all optronic, electronic, and bioneural systems in DSE assets. Therefore in addition to those of scientific and exploratory nature, technicians will be tasked to any of a large variety of postings, including: supporting engineers at construction or maintenance sites, supporting miners in the field, and contract jobs for third parties.

Security Department: The security of DSE assets and personel is paramount, hence the singular responsibility of this department. Not only are Security ships attached to most departmental wings and field operations, but Security ships can also seen throughout the corporate zone of influence patrolling supply routes and standard operational areas, cleaning out threats.
