Darius I&R

The Darius Industries and Research company (Darius, Darius I&R, DIR) is one of the most influential manufacturing and research companies in the Crysmar system. Originally founded by entrepreneur Thoms Brensom in Ardia, Illyricum. Brensom owned the company until his surprise death in 2697. His vice officer Julyen Moargan took over after his death. Moargan made rapid changes including moving the company headquarters to Hughes Tower in Nevseh, Cappadocia. Hughes Tower was renamed Darius Tower shortly after. The company also started focusing on innovation and research instead of just manufacturing. DIR constructed the Nevseh Shipyard and Spaceport in 2701 and the Darius Research Facility in 2702. The company launched the Farost Company in 2704 and began rebuilding the Farost shipdocks. Noricum was colonized by DIR in 2710 much to the dismay of the left-leaning parties in Nevseh, who boycotted Darius-made products. They attempted to put tariffs and to vote out pro-Darius government officials, which was basically the entire Nevseh government. Today, the company is partnered with the large CCSC and Gordios companies and makes products for probes and ships alike.
