Illium Naval Engineering
Sarna News
Illium Shipyards occupies a unique place in the Free Worlds League. Though it is officially and legally an independent corporation, in actual fact it's a joint FWLM-SAFE operation. The vast majority of the company's shares are owned by the FWL government. This private ownership allows the League Navy to embark on multi-million C-Bill projects like WarShip construction without some of the Parliamentary oversight that would be necessary in a FWLM project. Another benefit is that Illium Shipyards can source materials and resources from any number of provinces without MPs attempting to funnel choice contracts to their own districts.[1]
The CEO in 3067 is Admiral Brant Optin.[1] He reports directly to the LCCC.
