History & Background (Dossier)
- Established in 437 at Sha'anoe/Delta as Delta Products Corporation, it was purchased in 1086 by Storm and renamed Delta Research.
- From approximately 705, Delta Products specialized in the production of vessels based upon their 100- to 1000-ton hulls.
- With its purchase by Storm, Delta's product line underwent a dramatic metamorphosis.
- Added to the standard line of hulls was a 150 ton "stretched" or "extended" hull.
- Storm also diversified: maneuver drives designed and built by Delta Research replaced the older, contracted LSP units;
- Computer peripherals were announced in 1088;
- The Types S and SX Scout/Couriers were laid down in 1090;
- And the Type A2 Far Trader was first flown in 1094.
- Storm's uncontrolled enthusiasm drove the company to the edge of receivership, but in 1101, at Delta Centre/Metchi'Alagwa, a major breakthrough in computer technology was made when "Mad" Marvin Hauk successfully grew organic brain cells in vitro making possible the Logical Heuristic Processor (Organic) series of computers. The LHeP(Or)s proved the turning point in Delta's fortunes.
- In 1104, using a specially augmented version of their own LHeP(Or)IX/Imp, Delta Research turned out the first successful E-Circuit Modules. The testing and subsequent installation of the seventh E-Circuit Module on an Imperial courier in 1106, "Suki", resulted in the title of Noble Baron being bestowed upon Storm, now hault-Storm.
