Utopia Base Spaceship and Rover Systems Limited

A company that built some of the first spacecraft on Mars, this 180 year old company nowadays mostly does design work for the PDRM. The company was initially a constructor of the long range shipping rovers used to connect the various settlement together, but was approached by the PDRM to build its first military spacecraft. Before this it had built a few small SSTOs, capable of taking cargo up and down Mars' gravity well, but this required a whole new design philosophy. However, they did a good job, and they continue to work with the PDRMN, designing ships and consulting on manufacturing.
The company kept the name to maintain a sense of age and reliability, useful things for a Spacecraft manufacturing company to be known for.

Structure

This is a wholly public company, run by a board of directors that together hold around 80% of the stock.

Public Agenda

The UBSRS just wants to make good spaceships and rovers, and make money, like any company.

Assets

They hold top secret designs of PDRMN vessels, which are kept under lock and key in a physical medium. However, they mostly do design work nowadays, so hold little in terms of material.

History

Started in 2064 to apply for a UN contract to design a series of long range rovers for martian transit, it was the only Martian entry, and won the bid based off the assumed understanding of the difficulties faced by the rovers. In 2086, it designed its first spacecraft, a small methalox SSTO to supplement the to orbit capability of the Mars-Earth ships.
