Though SelaSys played an instrumental role in the design of the ''[[Impavido]]'' and was heavily involved in the [[Free Worlds League]]'s resurgent black water navy in the wake of the [[Clan Invasion]], the company's efforts were focused on refurbishing derelict WarShips such as future FWLS ''[[Nueva Badajoz]]'' and as a component supplier to [[Technicron Manufacturing]] and [[Illium Naval Engineering]] WarShip projects. By the [[FedCom Civil War]] era, SelaSys had initiated development of WarShip wholly designed and produced by the company: the ''Venturer''-class light cruiser.<ref name=HBHM136>''Handbook: House Marik'', p. 136: "SelaSys Incorporated Company Profile"</ref>

The company employed retired [[Commodore]] [[Ian Deakin]], former commander the FWLS [[Impavido (Individual Impavido-class WarShip)|''Impavido'']], as a consultant on the ''Venturer'' project. Earning the privileged position as first captain of the League's first new WarShip produced since the [[Succession Wars]] era thanks to family ties to and political lobbying by SelaSys rather than being a competent commander.

During the [[Word of Blake]] [[Jihad]] commandos from the [[Principality of Regulus]] staged an assault on the SelaSys Incorporated Yards of [[Loyalty]] on 1 September [[3075]] which ended with the ''Venturer'' destroyed when multiple incendiary devices ignited throughout the yard destroying twenty-seven support structures and rupturing fuel lines attached to the WarShip. The prototype vessel suffered sympathetic detonations within its superstructure and caused secondary damage to yard facilities attached. The prototype suffered catastrophic detonation, breaking the vessel's spine.<ref name=JHS3076-86>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', pp. 86–87: "Late 3076: Total Warfare - Grim Portents - SelaSys Yards Attacked - Tragedy at Loyalty - Captain-General Corrine Marik Decries Regulan Treachery - The Hanging Threat"</ref>
