I noticed that some ships and components have company names associated with them, but others don't. In order to flesh out some of the setting info, I will be using the following in my Dead Suns campaign, so I thought I might share these with others, too. In some cases, I've expanded on tidbits included in descriptions of the ships at the beginning of each AP chapter. I have not included the names of organizations that have already been described as companies in the setting (Arabani Arms Ltd., Sanjaval Spaceflight Systems, Thaumtech Unlimited, and Nebulor Outfitters). These companies have been around for a long time...in most cases, since the beginning of drift drive technology.
Pulse Engineering Systems: Manufacturers of the Pulse series of power cores and other starship systems
Micron: Manufacturers of the Micron series of power cores
Arcus Industries: Manufacturers of the Arcus series of power cores
Nova Technology Corporation: Manufacturers of the Nova series of power cores
Gateway Dynamics: Manufacturers of the Gateway series of power cores
Parabolic, Inc.: Manufacturers of the Signal series of drift engines; Parabolic, Inc., is also a fully recognized religious order within the church of Triune.
Dakkar Stardrive Systems: Manufacturers of the most common line of conventional thrusters in use today (Starfinder AP #1)
Gorkal Imperial Defense: A vesk company that produces top-grade starship weapons, like the gyrolasers on the Sunrise Maiden (Starfinder AP #1)
Reinbach Prism Technologies: Manufacturer of laser weapon systems, like the cannons mounted on the Sunrise Maiden (Starfinder AP #1)
Alkaria Unlimited: Eoxian weapons manufacturer, producing particle beam weapons, like the ones on the Thaumtech Cairncarver class freighter (Starfinder AP #2)
Festik General: Eoxian manfacturer of weapons, like the light plasma torpedo launcher on the Thaumtech Cairncarver class freighter (Starfinder AP #2)
Vertebrex Eternal: Eoxian defense contractor and producer of a line of coilguns, like the ones mounted on the Thaumtech Cairncarver class freighter (Starfinder AP #2)
Great idea! It could also be fun to have different manufacturers affect their gear in different ways.
Like a goblin manufacturer that makes power cores that output 5% more energy than normal, but since they're inherently unstable they have an additional drawback whenever they take system damage - maybe they irradiate the crew?
