Fiction
Isis Interstellar
Latius was the home of the now-destroyed WinterHaven Corporation, enemy of Isis Interstellar.
The dark story begins five years earlier, when Cowell & MgRath invited tenders for the Mk.V Cobra. Following the success of the Mk.IV, Isis Interstellar were widely regarded as being favourites in the competition, despite strong competition from other designers, including the Winter Haven Corporation. Winter Haven Corp had been a long-time bitter rival of Isis Interstellar, but the true level of animosity between the two companies was about to be revealed.
Isis Interstellar and Winter Haven Corp were the finalists in the penultimate stage of the Mk.V competition, and both firms were instructed to bring a full presentation, including blueprints, mock-ups and computer simulations, to the selection board on Arendi. Upon closure of the competition, Cowell & MgRath announced that since Isis Interstellar had not attended the meeting, Winter Haven Corp won the contract by default. Needless to say, the announcement sent shockwaves through Isis Interstellar, and upon investigation it was discovered that the four ship group had been annihilated upon emerging from Witch Space in Biteen.
The incident seemed suspicious, and when various comments were posted on the message boards that pilots had seen a score of mercenary-type ships waiting by the Witchpoint, it was not just Isis Interstellar that began putting two and two together. Fearing a major conflict, GalCop stepped in with authority, and put both the companies on notice. Investigations were inconclusive, and Miss Gold was reportedly seething, especially when her own investigations strongly suggested that various highly placed GalCop officials were in league with Winter Haven Corp. Despite this, people were somewhat surprised when Isis Interstellar made no retaliatory attacks - well known to be a company that both viciously and vigorously defends and protects itself and its employees, the lack of reaction left people considering Isis Interstellar now well under the thumb of GalCop, especially given Miss Gold's usual reputation for a volatile and vindictive personality. They couldn't have been more wrong.
Three years passed, and the Cobra Mk.V project gathered speed. Winter Haven Corp built a massive production plant on a vast asteroid in deep space around Latius, and thousands of the local feline population were employed in the production of the ships. And then, with the official release date two weeks away, the entire facility was obliterated. Everything was lost; the factories, stockpiled ships, supplies and personnel. Evidence pointed to an explosion at the main reactors that caused a chain reaction, but GalCop investigations revealed smaller explosives damage on the communications towers, as if someone or something had deliberately silenced and isolated the facility before destroying it. Winter Haven Corp's CEO/owner, Miss Hope Svelgarde, was apoplectic, outrightly accusing Isis Interstellar, and pointing to their powerful cloaked ships as the instruments of destruction. GalCop executives sent an official order to Miss Gold to appear before an investigative board. The order was returned with the simple message "go fk yourselves." It was at this point that the already strained relations between GalCop and Isis Interstellar began to seriously break down.
The ramifications of that incident are still being felt. The corporations are still at each other's throats, and rumours abound that each specifically targets ships of their rivals. Winter Haven Corp have apparently made further allies in high ranking GalCop members to gain political power, and Isis Interstellar have used their military contracts to produce some fearsome vessels: supposedly only for Naval use, further rumours imply extra ships have been produced and secretly stockpiled. GalCop - and the worlds in general - await to see if the animosity between these power players will erupt in full-scale war along the space lanes.
With that shadow hanging over the Cobra family, Rowell & MgRath hastily aborted the MkV and opened bidding on the MkVI contract. Still recovering from the massive loss of the Latius facility, Winter Haven Corp did not submit a tender, and in fact only two other ship builders did - perhaps others were somewhat leery of creating any type of competition for Isis Interstellar, given past events. In any event, Isis Interstellar won, and the ship itself at least lived up to expectations and squashed any ideas that Isis Interstellar had won by default simply to placate them.
