Galactic Shipyards Inc is a founding member of the Huzzah Federation and was originally formed as an industrial corporation. It changed its focus in 2005 to become combat-orientated although it still constructs its own ships.

History

Foundation

Founded in October 2004 by Josiah Bleak, GSY was a founder member of the Huzzah Federation. It was an industrial corporation and contributed to the mining operations that funded the alliance bill. However, as the alliance expanded into 0.0 space it attracted the attention of pirates corporations in Providence and suffered heavy casualties. A large number of industrial corporations left the alliance, but GSY remained and absorbed members from the corps that had fled. Those that remained changed from industry and began to develop combat skills. This pattern has characterised the corp throughout its history and as a result it retains a core of highly skilled and experienced members.

From Providence to Catch

Leading Huzzah from Providence to Catch in the winter of 2005, GSY was fundamental in building up the alliance during its time in the south. However, the loss of industrial corporations meant that Huzzah was too weak to resist continuous assaults from its powerful neighbours. After eight months the alliance and its leading corporations went into hibernation in August 2006.

Syndicate

Reforming in January 2007, GSY took Huzzah to The Syndicate, where it began to grow and develop once more. Over time it procured sources of income which enabled it to equip itself with capital ships. As the alliance grew and made alliances the capital ships were used to find new sources of income, usually moons, and improve the diversity of Huzzah's combat fleets. Throughtout 2007 and 2008 the corp provided the core of these fleets, shooting down motherships, raiding larger alliances and making its presence known throughout the region.
