==Overview==
Exeter Organization is a privately held firm. It has spent most of its existence working in the communications area. Its flagship product, the Longscan communications suite, is used across several popular designs. In the mid-3060s, the [[Word of Blake]] invested heavily in the company. The increased orders allowed Exeter to expand its Keystone plant and increase its production by a factor of four. Most of the new production was sent out of the Free Worlds League to friendly manufacturers.

The Exeter Organization was best-known for its communications systems, having received a contract from Earthwerks-FWL to provide communications systems for several designs.

Overview[edit]

Exeter Organization was a privately held firm. It had spent most of its existence working in the communications area. Its flagship product, the Longscan communications suite, was used on several popular designs. In the mid-3060s, the Word of Blake invested heavily in the company. The increased orders allowed Exeter to expand its Keystone plant and increase its production by a factor of four. Most of the new production was sent out of the Free Worlds League to friendly manufacturers. The company also began producing its own variant of the Pegasus hovertank at its expanded plant.[1]

In 3067, there had been persistent rumors that CEO Anup Tind and/or the entire company were a shell company for Earthwerks-FWL or were owned by the Blakists.[1]

In the last decade of the thirty-first century, Exeter introduced its R10 Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle. This wheeled OmniVehicle combined a large infantry bay with heavy armor and weaponry.[2]
