Steele Tech.
Steele tech is one of the leading human weapons, shields, armor, and ship companies thanks in large part to there CEO Alex Steele having returned to earth after being abducted by the Shklar and returning to earth with the then stolen ship dubbed The Axion. Steele made a deal with the Sol council to make the first FTL capable ship for them as long as she got to build it however she wanted and "keep all the cool tech" which she used to drive a wedge into, then leading weapons manufacture, Raiderz Tech Profits. After 5 years she had made her company larger then any could imagine in such a small time frame and constructed The Alexandria at the same time.
Many problems have arose during the construction of the Alexandria mostly numerous attempts to steal the FTL blueprint all have failed. Most notable was an attempt by Victor Mercuric which turned out to be a test by Victor to see if Steele was as able a she claimed, he was pleased with the results and agreed to assist with the project. Steele never pressed charges on grounds of none of her employs where killed or harmed greatly in his test, claimed it was a security test that her security team passed. True or not this has lead to the development of many advanced designs for weapons, armor, and shielding by both companies.
