The company’s first entry into the weapons market was a line of ballistic Gatling guns named Tigerstrike.
The seed was planted and it did not take long to sprout. Sherman has housed their headquarters ever since.Īfter centuries of success as a parts manufacturer, it was an offhand remark by an executive at a board meeting that the company “made all the parts for a gun, except for the gun itself” that would change Kruger’s course forever. The moment the planet became open to non-military entities, Kruger moved in. With a significant amount of affordable space, solid infrastructure and, most importantly, safe and secure shipping routes, Sherman was an ideal destination. In 2789, relations with the Xi’An had improved enough for the system to be designated for Citizen and civilian use. The planet was originally a military base constructed during the cold war with the Xi’An. It was only a matter of finding a suitable, and cost-effective, new home for its massive operation.Įventually, Kruger found the ideal spot near Sherman on Castra II. Years later, leaked corporate documents revealed that Chansiri personally guaranteed that Kruger would leave the Magnus System to keep RSI’s business. The disruption to RSI’s supply chain put one of Kruger’s key partnerships in jeopardy, so the company scrambled to find a solution. Each year, Kruger executives grew more concerned as additional Credits were spent protecting shipments.įinally, in 2785, pirates raided a large convoy of Kruger-made RSI parts leaving the system. It was not long before Magnus had earned a reputation as a developed system with a frontier mentality. As legitimate businesses left Magnus, residents were forced into illegal industries to survive. Unfortunately, Chansiri was not able to keep his word. At the time, Kruger’s CEO, Artyom Chansiri, claimed that the company would stay loyal to the system and told numerous trade publications that its parts would always be “made in Magnus.” The company took advantage of the downturn to buy cheap real estate and abandoned equipment to expand its operations. Yet, Kruger did not just survive, it thrived. As numerous companies closed or fled the system, Magnus’ economy collapsed. In 2751, the UEE moved their main shipbuilding yard to the Kilian System. Luckily for Kruger, this confluence of events occurred before Magnus’ military-industrial bubble burst. From laser-cut firing pins on Behring’s P8-AR to meticulously forged crucial capital ship components, Kruger-designed manufacturing parts quickly became essential for many items. It was during this period that Kruger began its longstanding relationship with Behring and RSI. With manufacturers scrambling to fill orders, and Kruger’s sterling reputation spreading fast, its services were in high demand. Kruger’s selling point was the ability to manufacture a wide variety of parts for anything from weapons to construction equipment to ships.
At the time, Kruger was still a small operation and did not have the infrastructure or production pipeline to compete for government contracts, so it focused on landing deals to produce components for larger companies.

It specializes in expertly crafted, custom-machined parts and, more recently, creating full weapons and ships, including the popular Tigerstrike rotary cannon and the P-52 Merlin snub fighter.Īs the Navy expanded, UPE money flooded the planet, which, for a while, was a major military hub and source of ship construction. Still it was Ozell’s good fortune to have opened her operation during the Borea boom that really helped her fledgling company thrive.īuilding on that significant boost up, Kruger Intergalactic has grown from those humble beginnings into a multi-billion Credit business. Her company’s ability to deliver first-rate products on time and within budget quickly impressed customers. In 2558, Ozell Kruger opened a workshop on her home planet of Borea in the Magnus System and called the company Kruger Intergalactic. “Perfection in every piece.” Those words hung on the wall of a makeshift workshop in a rented hangar in Magnus they would end up being the driving principle of the company that became Kruger Intergalactic.įor all its success, few know this industry heavyweight’s humble origins.
