I'm trying to work out what all the Successor State shipbuilders were named for.
Stellar Trek = obvious.
Dharma Interstellar = ??? "Dharma" is a Hindu/Indian word that can sort of translate to 'cosmic order'
BBP Industries = ??? they made Triumphs, Excaliburs and Intruders.
Tomori Trans Industrial = "Tomori" means light, but who knows if they mean FTL or if they mean they're 'bright' in multiple industries
Hinsdale Elec = ??? they made Condors.
Matabushi Inc. = "the samurai inc."
Galileo Instruments = obvious.
Rashpur-Owens Inc. = ??? they made all Liao's jumpships.
Tengo AeroSpace = I'm inclined to read "Tengo" as a reference to the Teng system.
Nimakachi Fusion Products Ltd. = ??? They made Condors.
Ioto Galactic Enterprises = "Ioto" could be an alternate name for Iwo Jima, but... why do this?
Semier Data Tron = ??? They made Seekers, Excaliburs and Buccaneers for Steiner.
TAG = ??? They made Intruders, Mules and Behemoths for Steiner.
Universal Air = could be an airline reference, but 1988 seems
just a hair early for merger jokes.
Challenge Systems = ??? is this a reference to the Shuttle Challenger?
Salvatore Inc. = ??? they made Seekers for the Suns.
Dynamico Ltd. = ??? they made Avengers and Buccaneers for the Suns.
