History

In 2762, Faulcon Manspace won the contract to design a police ship, and created the Viper, which was to earn the company a large amount of money and becomes the standard GalCop Police ship. The design is sent to all shipyards on medium to high technology worlds for immediate mass production.

In 2888, Faulcon Manspace purchased Prossett and Salem to get into the lucrative 'one man trader' market, and they acquired the Cobra Mk I from that takeover.(Citation needed)

In 2982, the Galactic Navy contracted Faulcon Manspace to design a multi-purpose support craft for their need for a fast and manoeuvrable forward reconnaissance craft. This ship became known as the Sidewinder Scout Ship. The design immediately becomes very popular with space pirates.

In 3034, a merger with deLacy ShipWorks of Inines, who manufactured the Krait, saw them change their name to the more familiar Faulcon de Lacy.

In 3095, Faulcon de Lacy, under the name of Faulcon Manspace, constructed the first Iguana. It was their last ship to be produced under the Faulcon Manspace name.

Following the debacle of the Cobra Mk II, they sub-contracted the Cobra Mk III to Cowell & MgRath Shipyards of Lave while they replaced their entire R&D department.(Citation needed)

In 3113, Faulcon de Lacy purchased Cowell & MgRath and brought the Cobra Mk III back in house.(Citation needed)

In 3126, Faulcon de Lacy purchased the Zorgon Petterson Group, the designers of the Fer-de-Lance.(Citation needed)

Faulcon de Lacy's recent replacement for the now aging Viper, the Viper Interceptor, could be a big earner.
