CANYON HEAVY INDUSTRIES [CNYN] - Organizations

History

This history serves as both a narrative within the lore of SC and to provide insight into our company’s scope of operations. Post launch of 1.0, it will also include our in-game achievements.

Pre 2845 – The Great Scrap Rush:
Canyon Shipwork made its mark during this era, establishing a reputation for salvaging and repurposing derelict ships on Borea in the Magnus system, prior to Drake Interplanetary purchasing all the old warehouses and equipment left behind by the UEEN when they vacated the system. Canyon and his crew became masters of resource recovery and improvisation, skills that would later prove invaluable.

2854 – Doohan Engineering’s Breakthrough:
Doohan Engineering created the first practical Modular Hull Repair (MHR) system for support vehicles. This technology allowed for rapid and efficient repair of hull breaches without requiring extensive welding or specialist equipment. Doohan struggled to scale up production to meet demand.

2873 – The Toha Mining Disaster:
Toha Heavy Industries, initially focused on constructing mining equipment, faced a significant setback when a catastrophic accident occurred during the construction of a mobile mining platform. The incident nearly bankrupted them, but they vowed to become the safest and most reliable constructor in the industry, forever altering their approach.

2919 – Expansion Efforts:
Recognizing the need for a more secure and established base of operations, Canyon Shipwork secures a shipyard lease on Crusader (Stanton II). They establish a larger repair facility, setting up a job fair to attract skilled workers and network for contracts from both corporate and independent clients.

2945 – The Vanduul Incursion of Vega:
During the early days of the Vanduul War, Doohan Engineering played an important role in repairing ships damaged during the Vanduul attacks. They were commended for their ability to get ships back into the fight with limited resources in a short time.

2951 – The UEEN Azorian Incident:
A botched robbery, were an attempt at stealing Quantum fuel from a docked UEEN Patrol boat being repaired at a Toha Heavy Industries facility, led to the deaths and injuries of multiple Peacekeepers and THI personnel as perpetrators fled the scene. THI was cleared of any wrong doing as Advocacy investigative leads found strong evidence connecting a known criminal enterprise, Nine Tails, to similar incidents at sites frequented by the Navy within the Stanton system.

2955 – Mergers & Acquisitions and New Hires:
└─ Faced with increasing competition and economic uncertainty, the heads of Canyon Shipwork, Doohan Engineering, and Toha Heavy Industries, recognized the benefits of combining their strengths. After months of intense negotiations and a series of complex restructuring agreements, Canyon Heavy Industries was born and it’s HQ established at Area 18 on ArcCorp (Stanton III).

└─ CHI now offers a more comprehensive package of shipyard services to both Human and Tevarin civilians and citizens alike; shipbuilding, maintenance, service, repairs, shipbreaking.

└─ March 18th-21st – CHI refinances to provide the capital and legal muscle needed to outmanoeuvre its competition in securing two startup Mining companies, Santon Mining Co. and Mining Inc.

└─ March 23rd – A lone breakdown engineer stumbled upon an old CHI freighter drifting aimlessly through the void. Having jury-rigged a flux-entrapment shield and spending several days nursing the behemoth back to a quantum-capable state, the pilot towed it back to a CHI shipyard where they received a hefty payment, a job offer they couldn’t refuse, and a tall tale of the lost freighter.

└─ April 17th – Orion Mining & Logistics had built a reputation for reliability and fair dealing that resonated with the miners and haulers of New Austin on Terra which, ironically, made it a prime target for a hostile takeover in the harsh landscape that was Pike (Terra II). The competition was ruthless and employed smear tactics of workplace grievances and accident claims, undercut them on contracts, and leveraged political connections delaying permits. Facing bankruptcy and mounting pressure, its CEO had no choice but to sell.

└─ May 10th – Unable to afford the rent in New Babbage, microTech (Stanton IV), Lunar Aquatics and Technologies; known for their research and pioneering breakthroughs in closed-loop aquaculture, creating miniature, thriving reefs in lunar habitats, and who had developed algae-based oxygen production systems, was acquired.

└─ June 5th – Salvage UK, based on Earth (Sol III), was no longer profitable and unable to support its crew. The CEO closed shop then boarded a transporter bound for the Stanton system. Docked at Baijini Point orbiting ArcCorp, they headed down to the Cargo deck seeking work… The rest, as they say, is history.

Manifesto

This manifesto details our company’s belief, its direction, focus, and purpose, that differentiates us from the competition, as well as outlining our commitment to our members and clients.

Business Motto

It’s more than a contract.
It’s a challenge. An achievement.
It’s a lifestyle. An expression.
It’s progression. Lessons learned. Records broken. And limits redefined.
It’s a calling. It’s everywhere. It’s forever.

Business Offering

Being self-sustaining, Canyon Heavy Industries develops, engineers, manufactures and supports products to deliver civilian, commercial, and security solutions built to last. We achieve this by offering a large pool of professions to carry out across our multiple business groups¹, where each aspect of our Organization caters to various play-styles and interaction preferences toward NPCs and players in both PvE and PvP environments, giving our members plenty of ways to express their interests. That said, engineering and manufacturing are at the heart of our operations and ships a specialty – see below poster for more.

Development & Infrastructure and Logistics Group
Engages in asset management, real estate, and logistics; inventory management of tangible assets, warehousing and transportation of goods, and construction of structures, helping to keep our business groups functioning.

Engineering & Manufacturing and Shipyard Group
Focuses on the creation, distribution, and sales of our products and services, including aftersales, from specialised equipment to shipyard services either at our facilities or our clients under contract or in-situ.

Resource Extraction Group
Handles the gathering of metals and minerals and liquids and gases through mining and harvesting, as well as construction material (CMAT) and recycled material composite (RMC) via salvaging.

Exploration Group
Deals in the discovery and mapping of derelict wrecks, abandoned outposts, archaeological ruins, valuable ore deposits, lost tech, and performing research to expand our knowledge.

Defense Group
Tasked with the security and safety of our assets and personnel within our Areas of Operation’s, whether on the ground or in space, to maintain operational efficiency.

¹ Our members have the freedom to undertake any number of professions/roles we offer and, where cross-over permits, mix them up across the business groups. This allows us as a whole to fulfil and more easily close out game play loops internally so that the professions and roles we perform serve a wider purpose.

Those with a keen interest in Manufacturing & Engineering as well as salvaging (as performed in reality); Breakdown Engineer, Recovery Expert, and Repair Technician, will help us fill a niche in areas concerned with providing top-tier quality products and services to individual pilots and organizations of all sizes seeking lasting support with a reliable and trustworthy partner.
- These roles give our members the option of dealing with either NPC’s or Players or both.
- Members pursuing these roles will be our brand Ambassadors either running shops; selling our in-house products i.e., armaments, components, wears, and ground vehicles and spacecrafts, across our land claims and spaceports, including from mercantile vessels; or operating in and out of our shipyards and service hubs either servicing ships and performing installs, refits or undertaking crafting.

To be able to offer our products and services we will need to be self-sustaining.
To achieve this we will carry out all Cargo and Industry professions found in both Interstellar Transport Guild and United Resource Workers Union, both of which we will align to for progression purposes.
- These professions are for those expressly interested in non combat.
- Contracting with the above aforementioned NPC Guilds will allow us to attain benefits via reputation; crafting blueprints, vehicles, and more, allowing us to further capitalise on being independent.

To facilitate the above, we offer Explorer, Researcher, and Search and Rescuer roles as well as in-house Security that deals in Surveilling, Escorting, and Cruising (also known as patrolling) where multi-role or modular ships will share auxiliary capabilities that tie into our resource gathering and engineering concerns. Additionally, Bounty Hunting and Mercenary work are available to pursue as an aside to any other aformentioned profession/role.
- These professions are for those who are undeterred by or seek out combat.

We pride ourselves in treating our clients like extended family and building a bond rooted in trust, respect, and genuine care.

Structure

At Canyon Heavy Industries, we’ve adopted a Team Based Org structure as it fits with our inclusive environment that provides opportunities to grow where members feel valued, respected, and have a sense of belonging. It affords our members the ability to carry out any number of professions they’ve an interest in which helps facilitate teamwork and cooperation among different teams and allows for problem-solving, including potential workflow shortages, and in being somewhat autonomous – finding what works best in order to get the job done – with minimal oversight.

Our Team-Based Org structure entails a flat hierarchy where the Managing Director creates an Operating & Execution Model¹, one which is not limited in scope or restricted by time-frames, that is communicated down to the Operations Managers who in-turn breakdown the goals into more manageable actions by allocating resources; personnel, budgetary needs, and equipment, across their respective teams to accomplish the necessary tasks.

Teams comprise any number of Project Leads, Craftsmen, Engineers, Technicians, Operators, and Greenhorns, where no one member of any rank is senior in command to another². Instead, all participants of a team help one another to accomplish their task where skills and instruction/advice are passed down to help members learn, improve, and gain confidence to be more efficient in that role.

Each rank is representative of knowledge of a profession, its execution of it, and input into the organization, where the members ability and merit is evaluated to determine their progression.

¹ At Canyon Heavy Industries, our goal isn’t to simply grow the business. Our business strategy for profitable growth means investing in areas with the most potential to create value. It helps us identify whether individual areas of our business are creating or consuming value. Through facts and data we will understand which industries are most attractive and what it would take to excel. We then implement strategies to improve our competitive position in profitable businesses and allocate resources to areas that have the best potential for future growth.

Profitable growth allows us to invest in future products and services – and in our members to ensure they are recognized, rewarded, and developed for continued success. Higher profits also mean more credits to invest in our organization, improving our position across various markets, providing better solutions to customers, and creating more opportunities for our members.

² Members should note that this rank structure and current lack of seniority therein is open for debate and can change if members decide in favor for that. Additionally, while we strive to accommodate everyone, members are advised that it is not always possible to promote into “management” roles, and, when discussing contribution and potential, a member may choose to stay in their current rank/role if they wish. Furthermore, these ranks and roles are based on current Org Tools and may evolve when new Org Tools are released.
