Hawk Industrial Solutions

Hawk Industrial Solutions, infrequently abbreviated as HIS or simply Hawk, is a Magdoran megacorporation founded and operated largely as an oversized research firm, that also builds, sells, and uses their own inventions, when over companies haven't taken the metaphorical reigns for the given product. Furthermore, HIS has been, and continues to be, the primary- and usually, only- company responsible for the mining and refining of Ucrylium and advanced technologies based around it, since it's formation.

Their product range, both in what they directly manufacture, and sell patents for, covers a wide variety of items, including, but not limited to, the Kecha series of high-performance aircraft, the Chienalla series of "railgun" firearms, Regolith exoskeletons, and the Monolith and Megalith classes of "mechs". Their products, even when they directly impacted few lives, still had some product on Magdoran life and society and a whole, such as improving aircraft engines, inspiring highly advanced magnetically levitated trains, and allowing for rapid and large improvements to existing biometric technologies and concepts, respectively. Similarly, their arcology projects, more specifically the Arkon Tower, inspired other large construction projects in both the Conclave's territories, and those of the Merracuda, eventually including the Skytether project.

Approximately 50 years after it's formation, the company's original founders, including the CEO for all these years, Mako Dolphus, would make a joint public announcement that they would be stepping down as the public face of the company, and seclude themselves to the "capstone" of the Arkon Tower- which had recently been named as the headquarters for the company, once the large recreational facilities at it's base had finished construction,- to continue their work in whatever capacity they could, until they inevitably succame to old age. Their replacements, while they would be known for their positions, would not make the same strides the founders did.

As far as the public was concerned, there is no cause to be concerned about this change in leadership. There are however some people who, for any number of reasons, believe that there is something hidden in it- mostly due to the fact that, especially given the size of the company, very few of it's members are given access to the capstone, due to the highly confidential, dangerous, or ultimately important things that are kept and studied there. The official response to these conspiracies is that the company itself, the founders, and the staff able to access the peak of the Tower, do not wish to keep it's contents secrets- but are forced to by the nature of what they are working with.

Products
Given their experimental nature, H.I.S.'s product range varies wildly, however the items and patents they have developed have the common threads of involving experimental materials, construction techniques, or are simply extremely complex, in comparison to their competition.

For reasons that were largely unclear to the general population, they also placed significant effort into highly advanced military hardware- or the means to use other technology, even their own, in the same manner. This was fortunately a boon for Magdora, when the Ascension Conflicts broke out, and later in the age of the Magdoran Conglomerate.

As they increased in size, the company began developing fewer items on its own- often leaving that task to subsidiary laboratories and firms. At this stage, the core branch of the company began focusing more on grand-scale projects, that often required the full dedication of a number of their subsidiaries to complete.

As a naming convention, general technologies are given descriptive names, that describe exactly what the technology is, while true product series' are given a (typically single-word) old Magdoran name. For series based on experimental technologies, this is a word made using existing etymology, while more traditional products are named after places or things. Nicknames, be it from the development teams, or the users of the product, are often appended onto the official classifications for individual products, provided they are popular enough.
