History
While Whitsall Industries and the Egadd Company were well established defense contractors, the rapidly growing Amalgamated Industries conglomerate was poised to purchase the two companies. In mutual financial interest, in X914 the Egadd Company and Whitsall Industries merged to form the Whitsall-Egadd Corporation, creating Oglethorpia's second largest defense contractor, next to Amalgamated Industries. These early years were spent restructuring the new enterprise, but by X920 Whitsall-Egadd was clearly growing even in the shadow of Amalgamated Industries.
Ironically, in X921 the now prosperous Whitsall-Egadd Corporation purchased Amalgamated Industries' Military Aerospace Systems division, becoming the Whitsall-Egadd Aerospace division. The newly acquired asset gave Whitsall-Egadd a virtual monopoly on the defense industry, with specialized divisions in army hardware, navy shipbuilding and now aerospace engineering.
In modern times, the Whitsall-Egadd Corporation does 90% of Oglethorpia's defense contractor business, with the remainder done by various other small defense companies.
