"The best supplier of arms and turrets since 87,900 CE" -Short Motto
Overview
The Xonuvis-Grepra Fusion Corporation, also known as XGF or XGFC, is a defense company originally founded as two separate companies, Xonuvis Arms and Grepra Defenses and their merger 87,900 CE. They are located on the Xonuvian capital city, and primarily manufacture infantry weapons and defensive structures primarily for the Federation of Free Jewel Systems and to some Independent Governments.
Template:!CompanyThe Company has a division that is solely focused on producing shields and are located on Grepra.
History
The early history of the company is less about the company, but rather the 2 companies that would eventually become the Arms Giants of the Cluster. The earliest of their history starts with the colonization of the twin worlds of Xonuvis and Grepra. the first of the arms corporations, Xonuvis Arms was founded in 84,321 CE, and began making weapons for the Volkania Planetary Republic.
Around 35 years after the founding of XA, the Grepra Defense Company, also known as Grepra Shields was founded in 84,356 and began producing shielding for the Volkanian Republic Navy, which at this time, did not take full advantage of shield technology, and Bearstennian Shields were weak at best, and nonfunctional at worst. The Grepra shields changed war tactics for the Republic, but no amount of shielding could save it from completely collapsing...
Decline
The Collapse of the Republic lead Grepra Shields into a death spiral, as the contracts completely stopped. Xonuvis Arms was doing no better and was also on the brink of collapse. In order to attempt to save the company, they contacted Grepra Shields and asked to collaborate and created their first product, the XAGD-1 Repeating Blaster Turret Defense System.
Resurgence
The XAGD-1 Repeating Blaster Turret Defense System, a point defense gun. Despite its bulky appearance, the cannon was revolutionary at the time, simply for the fact that it was shielded. This might sound crazy, but most ground defense systems were unshielded, and could be destroyed by most starfighters, bombers and even sustained fire from infantry blasters. The XAGD-1 had the advantage of being more durable, and very effective at taking out starfighters and infantry. IT also protected nearby friendly forces.
Merger
In 87,900 CE, with the success of the Blaster Turret, Contracts began to pour into both companies from local defense forces. At this point the CEOs of both companies decided to merge their companies for increased efficiency, with final preparations, the Xonuvis-Grepra Corporation was officially conceived.
