"Creating quality vessels since 90,638!" -Short Motto
Overview
Template:!Company The Magnillion Shipbuilding Corporation, also known as the Magnillion Shipyards, and the MSBC, was a giant public shipbuilding corporation created in 90,638 CE by the Magnillion government during the Reform Era. As the name suggest, they are located in Magnillion. They were the main manufacturer of military grade capital ships, starfighters and defensive structures for the Federation of Free Jewel Systems and its Starfleet, as well as making small number of civilian vehicles until being overtaken by Anarvis-Thandetis Yards.
The Company had one subsidiary, and that subsidiary is Lobelia Stardrive, the primary manufacturer of the Magnillion Mk2 and Mk3 Starfighters, as well as other smaller capital ships, such as shuttles. They are headquartered in Lobelia, a moon of Magnillion with its own, albeit smaller shipyards.
MSBC field for bankruptcy in 95,004 CE, and all its assets were given to Anarvis Yards. MSBC contuniues to operate as a subsidiary of Anarvis Yards. Many factors played in their downfall, but one primary reason was the construction of the massive orbital ring, that doomed the company from the beginning.
