Basilisk is a Human personal and spacecraft armor manufacturer headquartered on Cascom (Castra II). Founded in the first half of the 2500s to research new armor composites, Basilisk received the bulk of its initial funding from the United Empire of Earth (UEE) until the end of the Messer Era in 2792. In the aftermath, their budget was significantly reduced during the governmental reorganization, so they opened their products to the civilian market.
