As with any Skye based manufacturer however, with the increasing prominence of the [[Free Skye]] movement many questioned if Shipil's loyalties were to Skye or Tharkad, with much production being routed to Skye loyalists first and the [[LAAF]] as a whole second and many suspecting the company of being under extensive [[Lyran Intelligence Corps]] surveillance.<ref name=H:HSp146/>

One of the few Lyran Alliance based aerospace manufacturers to avoid significant damage during the [[Word of Blake]] [[Jihad]], with its employees putting in heavy overtime Shipil increased production as well as introducing the ''Aurora''—although the prototypes weren't finished until [[3067]], several years after those produced by Dynamico, Ltd.<ref name="TRO:3075p104"/>—and a new version of the ''Claymore'' to pick-up shortfalls elsewhere. This renewed bout of Lyran nationalism however strained relations with [[Duke of Porrima|Duke]] [[Robert Kelswa-Steiner]] and the company, as Shipil had to cut shipments to the [[Skye Rangers]] to enable it to meet the increasing orders from the LAAF.<ref name=O:LAp27>''Objectives: Lyran Alliance'', p. 27: "Shipil Company"</ref>
