Overview
Originally known as Faulcon Manspace and based in Reorte, the corporation won the contract to design a police ship, and created the Viper, which was to earn the company a large amount of money. The next few years saw a remarkable series of mergers and acquisitions which enabled them to become one of the biggest corporations around.
They decided to buy Paynou, Prossett and Salem in 2888 because they wanted to get into the lucrative 'one man trader' market, and they acquired the Cobra Mk I from that merger. A merger with deLacy ShipWorks of Inines, who manufactured the Krait, in 3034 saw them change their name to the more familiar Faulcon de Lacy. Their corporate headquarters was moved to Olympus Village on Mars in Sol.
Following the debacle of the Cobra Mk II, they sub-contracted the Cobra Mk III to Cowell & MgRath Shipyards of Lave while they replaced their entire R&D department. Faulcon DeLacy bought Cowell & MgRath in 3113 and brought the Mk 3 back in house. In 3126, they took over the designers of the Fer-de-Lance, the Zorgon Petterson Group.
It is generally believed that had their best ship, the Fer-de-Lance, not been outlawed by all of the police forces for being too powerful, Faulcon DeLacy would probably be much larger than they are. However they made a lot of money from sales of the Eagle Long Range Fighter, and income from the design rights purchased by the designers of the Mk 2 and Mk 3 of that ship. Their recent replacement for the now aging Viper, the Viper Interceptor, could be a big earner.
Building on the success of their hugely successful Viper, Faulcon de Lacy once again broke into new ground in 3248 with the release of the Viper Mk II Weighing in at almost twice the weight of the original, the Mk II has improved forward and retro thrusters yet comes with a similar price tag.
