Maxwell Superior Armaments

Maxwell Superior Armaments is a weaponsmith guild of the Eternal Empire's Fourth Fleet. They are based in Division 1's mothership. It is led by Lord Maxwell, and owned by the Maxwell family. While it plays a large role in the research and development of the Fourth Fleet, it is still a private organization with the freedoms and constraints that carries.

Structure

While the head of the organization cannot change, as it is a hereditary position, the remainder of the guild is structure like a trade, with masters, artisans, and apprentices.

Culture

Effectiveness is their core belief. If it is not useful, it is discarded. Results is what they want. Thus, the guild is pretty cutthroat.

Public Agenda

The development of better weapons is their agenda. They desire the prestige of making the weapons that won the empire a battle or war.

Assets

The Maxwell Family is fairly wealthy, and they have the backing of the Fourth Fleet treasury. But, there remains the looming threat that their funding would be cut if they fail, so membership in the guild is precarious at best. Other weapons manufacturers are in competition with them, and as it is a profitable industry, this competition could turn nefarious and deadly.

History

Maxwell Superior Armaments was founded by the Maxwell family as a hobby from one aging member who had little power within the hub world noble family. After a couple decades, the guild became renowned enough to get a position on the Fourth Fleet (so not great, but not bad either). They even got captainship for one of the Dreadnoughts. Luckily, it was one that was not in immediate danger, as the Lords and Ladies of the Maxwell family are too important to die in combat.
