- [b]Brief History & Description[/b] 

Andromeda Industries started out in 2028 as Hercules Corporation, a metal parts supplier for local automotive manufacturers in Aquitaine, France. However, CEO Theodore Gironde, having had former experience as a defense engineer for the US Air Force, saw that the future of transport was in the skies. Through a series of carefully placed investments, calculated stock acquisitions, and strategic mergers, he was able to found his own aerospace company in 2040. To avoid local competition, Theodore outsourced many of his manufacturing branches to places with cheap labor and looser labor laws like China, Malaysia, and Brazil. When Theodore died in 2048, his son Jean-Pierre saw the opportunities in a developing Africa and opened even more factories there. In joint cooperation with the French government and recruiting the brightest minds from the US, Jean-Pierre moved the company’s base of operations to Paris and began designing Andromeda Industries' first fighter jets. Towards the end of his life, Jean-Pierre began his company's first foray into the space sector, unveiling plans to establish New Paris by 2120, a semi-experimental orbital stratocity for researchers and the ultra-rich alike. It has been a year since the death of Jean-Pierre and the transfer of the company to his son, Marco, who plans to carry on his family's legacy.
