Dahl

Dahl Corporation is an Terran intergalactic manufacturing and military contract company with headquarters on Earth. It develops, manufactures, licenses, supports and sells building and mining materials, nano bots, ship, military contracts, and software security. Its best known products are the little soldiers line of construction nano bots, Kat industrial digger machines, and their durable and quick Sergeant class cruiser ships. As of 2516, it is the galaxies foremost provider of industrial machinery maker by revenue, and one of the Terran's most valuable companies.

Dahl was founded by Christopher Dahl on April 4th, 2315 at the onset of major Terran expansion into known and unknown space, Dahl was created to develop and sell building materials and construction equipment for expanding Terran colonies. It rose to dominate the manufacturing market with their Kat line digger machines in the mid-2350's. The company's 2356 initial public offering (IPO), and subsequent rise in its share price, created three billionaires, an estimated 12,000 millionaires among Dahl's employees, and granted them a seat on the newly minted Board of Directors. Since the 2450's, it has increasingly diversified from the building materials and equipment market and has made a number of corporate acquisitions—their largest being the acquisition of the Lost Legion PMC for 26.2 billion credits in December 2504.

Matt Dahl, the son of Christopher has replaced him as CEO in 2348, and later envisioned a "services and protection" strategy. This began with the acquisition of minor PMC's and software firms in 2495, entering the personal computer protection and military contracts market for the first time. Several years later their acquirement of the Lost Legion PMC has cemented in the protection market.

Dahl's culture and approach to products focuses heavily on making things as practical and durable as possbile. When you buy products or talk to Dahl employees you'll get hard and determined people and equipment that can outlast practically any other brand. This makes them expensive but worthwhile for a lot of companies and people they sell to. This is part of the reason why thier cruisers are the most well-known in the galaxy since thier tough as a box of hammers and hit hard like one.

Dahl in the now of 2520 now focuses on providing software security, building materials/equipment, and protection to large numbers of Terran colonies across space, with quiet large profit margins.
