Vosper-Babbage
From Gothpoodle
One of the system’s oldest space-based corporations, Vosper-Babbage specializes in the construction of spacecraft and space-operations cybershells, but also has strong asteroid-mining interests. On Earth, it is also a major marine shipbuilder, as well as making aquatic cybershells. It manufactures products for both civilian and military customers, and is one of the European Union’s largest defense contractors. It was originally based in the United Kingdom, and still has a cozy relationship with the British government. System Technologies AG and newcomer Hawking Industries own much of the company’s stock.
