Overview
Founded during the days of the Alliance of Galedon, Stellar Trek is one of the Combine's most venerable shipbuilding industries.[1] Stellar Trek's shipyards in the Dieron system were destroyed during the First Succession War.[2]
It was noted that the Draconis Combine had lost the capability to manufacture Monolith-class JumpShips as of 3025, and context implied that this was because of lostech (as opposed to deliberate destruction of the manufacturing facilities). Stellar Trek would be building Monoliths at Chatham, suggesting this same shipyard had likely been the one that had already previously built them until lostech put an end to production for a time at least.[3]
By the time of the Clan Invasion the Stellar Trek shipyard in the Chatham system was one of the few JumpShip production site still operating in the Draconis Combine.[4] Still remaining at the forefront of Kearny-Fuchida research ensured the Draconis Combine Admiralty assigned production contracts for the Kyushu and Tatsumaki WarShips, which included massive grants that allowed Stellar Trek to reconstruct it's Dieron shipyards as well as snap up DropShip manufacturer Hinsdale Electronics.[1] Unlike competitor Midway Shipyards who chose to sacrifice its JumpShip production to fulfill the DCA WarShip contracts[5], Stellar Trek chose to maintain both, but such an expansion without reconfiguration of its logistical chain put the company into financial difficulties that were only exacerbated by delays with the flawed Tatsumaki program. The severe disparity between working conditions at the established and well resourced Chatham and the newly built and constantly struggling Direon has also directly impacted the morale of the Stellar Trek workforce, with the company rotating worker from Chatham for a year to assist the Direon staff, a duty assignment not welcomed by most of the established employees.[1]
After the Jihad Stellar Trek worked overtime to produce as many JumpShips as possible to quickly make up losses suffered in the Jihad. The High Command wanted to restart interstellar trade as soon as possible.[6] Though it originally produced the Kirishima WarShip, that shipyard was destroyed during the Jihad.[7]
