History of the Colossus l JITA Corporation

The Corporate War and the Birth of Colossus/JITA

Colossus/JITA was not created in a day. It was born out of chaos. The Corporate Wars in the Federation of Allied Nations between JITA and Colossus began when JITA was blamed for the destruction of aircraft transporting Colossus officials out of Adalya, Velenora after President James K. Riveria of Velenora declared a Corporate Lockout in his nation.

JITA was hit hard by the lockout as Velenora was one of its major markets and profits and stock went down. Colossus tried constantly to buy out the JITA corporation and at that point the CEO of JITA Shipyards decided it was time once and for all to kick Colossus Shipyards were it was hurt, that was a bad idea.

After those actions, both corporations were fighting to the point of a regional war and that time, OBERTH Orbital Platform of Maraudersoft decided that it had to stop this war and so agreed that JITA and Colossus should merge. Colossus Shipyards CEO, Fred Mayer was very happy with this while the CEO of JITA was very nervious and very angry, however, she was forced to comply as that was going to be the only way JITA would ever get back to selling in Velenora.

The Outcome of the forced merger was that Colossus and JITA would share all ship designs, all technology and would split all profits 50/50. So far this has not been a problem, however JITA officials complain now and again why they ever agreed to this.

Colossus/JITA after the Corporate War

After the Corporate War, the JITA/OBERTH merger was cancelled and almost all designs that were in the JITA database were taken out except the Dagger and Switchblade Fighters and the Shadow Class Carrier.

Today, Colossus l JITA is the Federation of Allied Nations largest enterprise and encompasses several if not many fields including starship construction, armament manufacturing, R&D, Commucations, Cloning, Stargate Construction and other daily businesses.

General Facts

Product Lines

Colossus Shipyards

Colossus Shipyards produce and manufacture very good vessels. Some of their designs are based off older Jita models inlcuding the now-ancient Mordu Destroyer (Colossus counterpart: Exodus Destroyer). Some Colossus Shipyards special and exclusive designs and models include the PlanetLink 9700 and the Colossus Carrier, the biggest vessel that is manufactured by Colossus Shipyards today.

Jita Shipyards

Jita Shipyards produce some of the best ships in existance today. Most of Jita's vessels are powered by Quantum Sigularity Cores which under contract from Maraudersoft. Jita manufactures the well-known and feared Genesis-Class Mega Battleship. They have well over 500 laser cannons, 250 blaster cannons and a mulitude of other weapons. Only 3 of these benamoths are service, with one more in construction. Jita also manufacture the Enforcer-Class Battleship, the Armageddon-Class and the Aegis Class Battleships.

Jita also has a very powerful market in the field of starfighters, as they manufacture the well-known and very devastating Swiftdeath Fighter which has replaced several older models. They also manufacture the Dagger and Switchblade Fighters, both that are used on the Shadow Class Carrier. The Deathclaw has had some ups and downs but when you want results, when you plug the Deathclaw with the Swiftdeath, you can get anything.

Overall, Jita Shipyards is a well-respected name in starships and most nations who have purchased from them have been quite happy with their purchases. Jita Shipyards has been around since the establishment of the Raata Empire.
