Invention of FTL

Arstir industries revolutionised space travel in 2089 when it invented a drive that allowed a vessel to accelerate to faster than the speed of causality (c). This, in combination with the already invented cryo pod for humans, allowed mankind to travel to distant stars and planets.

Colonisation

In 2120 the company was awarded a contract by the United Nations of Earth to develop and build colony ships to create the first colonies in distant star systems.
