NOVATEK INDUSTRIES
Founded in 2310, Novatek is the amalgamation of the refining giant Novelacorp and Minotek from the mining sector, both planet locked corporations combined in order to get off world. Gaining a strong foot hold in remote drilling applications and soon moving to the construction of a well known ship line. Favoured for being well built and extremely sturdy, aesthetic traits are low on the design list which instead focuses on durability and getting the job done.

Involved in the tragedy at scape R32 (2615 - 32 dead in Refinery explosion) and suffered a slump in its market strength, it was during this period Novatek expanded operations further into logistics for the UEE in an effort to foster consumer confidence.
