Fiction:Paingler Imperium/Imperial Armory

((Under construction))

The Imperial Armory, also known as Imperial Arms or Imperial Gear, is a company founded during the fledgeling years of the Paingler Imperium. The Imperial Armory is the only manufacturer and supplier of weaponry, armor and vehicles (with the notable exception of spaceships) to the Imperium.

The Armory is based on the planet Nerophion, but has many factories and foundries throughout Imperial Territory. The Core Sector world of Badaz, renowned as a ecumenopolis and spaceport, is a primary headquarters for the Armory, as Badaz exports much of it's products.

History
When the Paingler Imperium was first founded, the question of defense and military supplies pressed heavily on the minds of the magistrates and the emperor. The historical method of producing armor and weapons, clans of smiths, was unreliable in the face of extrasolar expansion. The emperor selected many of the best smiths of the trade, as well as several scientists, and formed the Armory.

The Armory immediately went to work, producing several new weapons and vehicles to supply the Imperium as it began it's expansion. These initial products are now discontinued and obsolete in the face of more modern products.

Due to the success of Armory weapons and armor, it was granted several concessions, including a major headquarters in the financial district of Kanjhe, several outposts and factories scattered throughout Imperial Territory, and a primary export center on Badaz. Despite this, the Armory was kept under tight rein by the emperor.

Ultimately, the Armory became something of a monopoly, as it faces no competition and is the only supplier and manufacturer of weaponry and armor for the Imperium and Imperial forces.
