- Imperial megacorporation GSbAG holds a 33% stake in Magash Shipbuilding & Spacedock Company LIC.

History & Background (Dossier)
According to company propaganda, the company was founded in -2438 from a consortium of old Terran manufacturing firms.
- In actual fact, there is no concrete evidence of the corporations existence prior to a contract with the Sylean Federation Navy in -334.
Trade Partners
- Magash Shipbuilding & Spacedock Company - GSbAG took a 33% stake in the Magash Shipbuilding & Spacedock Company when Vilani megacorporation Zirunkariish arranged mezzazine financing to the small company. In return for development of the yards on Magash, GSbAG got a valuable partner. This ownership / partnership allows GSbAG to refer customers for limited production runs of more common vessels while retaining specialty construction contracts and more valuable customers. It also allows Magash Shipbuilding & Spacedock Company to do reliability testing of its vessels at the GISHMARCo Test & Development facilities in the Gishmarkash (Dagudashaag 3209) system. However, all data acquired from such testing must be shared with GISHMARCo Test & Development.

Worlds & Sectors (Astrography)
These systems have a substantial GSbAG presence.
- Dagudashaag Sector
- Gishmarkash (world): This system is owned and run by GISHMARCo Test & Development, a wholly owned subsidiary of GSbAG, specializing in starship systems testing and development. The abundance of common planetary bodies in the system make for an ideal testing ground for starship systems and complete starships. Two or three projects are generally ongoing at any one time so areas of the system are frequently prohibited from unauthorized vessels, particularly the main world, gas giants, and belts — hence the Amber Zone status.
- Deneb Sector
- Magash (world): The GSbAG shipyard specializes in small production runs of luxury and custom vessels. The co-located Magash Shipbuilding & Spacedock Company builds limited production runs of more common vessels.
