Early History
2775-2832
Grey Galactic was founded in the year 2775 during imperator Ulysses Messer X’s reign by Lucas Johannes Grey and was originally a parts manufacturing contractor for Anvil Aerospace. The company grew steadily with a constant revenue stream from their main customer until 2824 when Grey Galactics contract expired and Anvil Aerospace opted for cheaper alternate parts producers.
Company owners Robert and Alan Grey, still maintaining significant capital, Grey Galactic decided to attempt to manufacture their own spacecraft. Robert Grey disagreed with this course of action and opted to sell his shares to Alan Grey and found his own company “Grey Mercantile”.Considering their experience in manufacturing, Grey Galactics project initially seemed promising with a few private investors putting capital towards it. This funding eventually culminated in the heavy fighter aircraft the “ G1X Thunder” meant to rival both Aegis and Anvil Aerospace;s offerings. Regardless of the company’s enthusiasm they could not compete with the well established giants of military aviation and with no military contract in sight, funding ran out in 2831. The G1X prototypes were purchased by a few private individuals, it being briefly considered a niché collectors item, but eventually these ships would end up in scrap heaps across the UEE.
Alan, frustrated with his lack of progress and the impending bankruptcy decided to sell the remaining assets of the company to his brother George.
Later History
2832-Current
Upon the reconsolidation of all family assets, the company was renamed to “Grey Galactic” once more, loans and investor funding was secured by the leadership and a new course was set to further diversify the company.
Grey Galactic grew steadily, especially with the newly created branch of the “Grey Rangers” in 2845, which were created by George to remove the corporation’s dependence on outside security. Eventually however death came to George Grey in 2851, where after the company would be faced with leadership and legal difficulties. The son of Alan Grey, Philip Grey-Norton attempted a hostile takeover by attempting to reclaim Grey Galactic as his “birthright” as first son of the previous owner Alan. However, this attempt was thwarted when George’s daughter Melissa Grey defeated Alan in the UEE courts.
However, this would only galvanize Philip’s antagonism towards his relative. Alan employed any manner of subterfuge which he could muster, hiring pirates to harass company shipping and hacking the databases. After three difficult years Melissa finally gathered the evidence to land her cousin in prison.
She would go on to lead Grey Galactic to an age of mediocrity, with any success often met with equal failures, leading to her frequent public outbursts as time went on. It was only upon her death in 2893 that the company would skyrocket back into relevancy with the takeover of the company by her son Titus Grey, who started his ‘reign’ by branching the corporation into Exploration, starting the Canus Voyagers to facilitate this. No longer bound by outside security and outside exploration to secure new investment opportunities, this eventually led to where Grey Galactic found itself in 2953.

Canus Voyagers
The Canus Voyagers are teams of dedicated personnel formed from Grey Mercantile and Rangers on missions to explore the galaxy. Canus Voyager missions are formed with an officer at the lead with a mandated mission and allocated resources to conduct the operation independently or dependent on the rest of the corporation.
The Canus Voyagers missions include

Profit Management and Sharing
The current plan for Grey Galactic is that for any official Grey Galactic mission, 15-20% of the money gained will go directly to the Organization and the remaining 80-85% will go to those who directly take part in the mission.
In ALPHA this scheme is irrelevant.
