Frontier Manufacturing Service

The Branch of the Frontier Service Corporation that turns ideas and metal into realities.

Created by Mr. Donovan in YE 39 to establish manufacturing capabilities for the FSC. The majority of its supporting income is from building and selling common hardware and components.

By spreading word through private sector recruitment agencies FMS was able to pull together a solid design team and build lists of suitable candidates for management and specialty roles.

Starting off on Planet Osman the idea of FMS was to provide the local economy with export items and create jobs for the local population.
