HAELOS STAR YARDS
Faction: Haelos Star Yards
Faction Leader: Simulterious
2nd in Command: Lamborghini Waffle Sauce
Affiliation: Neutral
Capital System: Denon (N13)
Region: Inner Rim Territories
Description
Wrestling independence from the fallen GALACTIC EMPIRE, the centuries old Haelos Star Yards has re-established itself as a major shipbuilding corporation of the Galaxy.
Crafty merchants and loyal agents have secured valuable contracts and unprecedented privileges all the while maneuvering the bureaucracy of the NEW REPUBLIC.
Luxury liners, cargo haulcraft, pleasure ships and mighty warships stream out of Denon’s orbital foundries, marking the ascent of a rising corporate power.
Several unknown figures occupy the board of directors, a shadowy council of intelligent minds rumoured influenced the corporate and economic state of the Galaxy. It is said they answer to the long dead founder of the company – Haelos himself, who many believe he still leads the corporation, ancient, and more machine than man…
Seven orbital stations produce original spacecraft of the highest quality, while also having salvage and repair facilities for vehicles made by other companies.
The planetary headquarters of Var-Haelos is a massive complex made up of plazas, reception halls, and corporate towers.
While being the size of an entire nation, it is just one neighbourhood among Denon’s planetwide cityscape, where exquisite architecture, affluent way of life, and sustainable urban design reflect on the Denonian’s culturally rich history.
Gameplay
The goal of Haelos Star Yards is profit and influence. By default, HSY seems neutral and peaceful, controlling only one system – Denon, which defended by a strong fleet.
Our reach on the other hand is Galaxy-wide – we have influence over some of the other factions through trade, bribes, politics, and clandestine deals with powerful figures and organisations. Other factions commission HSY to build them starships and other vehicles. We also like to create of our own volition, which we auction off to the other factions.
Haelos Star Yards have no enemies, and despite having powerful warships we do not wage war. Despite having allies and trade partners, we do not have friends either.
F.A.Q.
What is the goal of this Faction?
To be the finest and wealthiest shipyards in the Galaxy. HSY acquires its wealth from building quality spacecraft and selling them (in-game) to other factions.
Is HSY canon?
Haelos Star Yards is an original creation emulating existing shipbuilding corporations like Kuat Drive Yards and Incom. However, Denon is a planet from the Star Wars expanded universe.
Where can I learn more about Denon?
There is sparse official or legends info – so we expanded on it with original worldbuilding and custom artwork.
I don’t build spaceships, is there a place for me here?
Absolutely! Denon and its surrounding planets are primed for builds exploring them.
I want to join, but the game seems complex for me. Can I still play?
Stories and builds are at the core of the experience. Strategy is just the icing on the cake, and not mandatory to think about.

Organization
Powered by the industrial might of their home system, HSY operates seven orbital space stations. They construct and repair ships, receive and process trade supplies.
A publicly traded company on the outside, HSY lets greed guide growth in a ruthless corporatocracy too vast to comprehend. Several unknown figures now occupy the board of directors, rumored to answer to the long dead founder of the company. Haelos himself struck the foundations of the company hundreds of years ago, but some believe he is still out there, more machine than man…
The Pearl of Tartany
The Pearl of Tartany serves as a corporate retreat for Haelos Star Yards employees, subsidiaries, and trade partners.
This centuries old star cruiser can accumulate up to a million personnel, from crew to passengers, who range from leisure to research to manufacture.
Lavishly decorated, with state of the art facilities kept up to date with constant development of HSY tech and a logistical framework of specialised droids.
Combining leisure with innovation, pleasure with an industrial underbelly, The Pearl of Tartany is a shining beacon of the corporation, serving as a mobile, secondary headquarters.
Rumours have it, that it was once the origin of Haelos Star Yards before the corporation settled on Denon…
The Pearl of Tartany is currently on its never-ending voyage across the Galaxy, frequenting major hyperspace lanes and common trade routes.
