Without guidance or organization from above, many Austrin colonies failed. Fortunately, new groups of hardy adventurers always stood ready to take their places, and the Austrin-Ontis stellar nation rose on the backs of the fallen. Officially, the nation remains incorporated, and Austrins retain employment under the auspices of a board of directors and a CEO. In practice, the Austrins grew used to the freedoms and liberties that life on a faraway colony provided. During its early days, most Austrin-Ontis colonies met or exceeded production quotas, and the corporation didn't tighten controls until the [[Timeline|First Galactic War]]. Even today, A-O provides a far more relaxed atmosphere than that of other corporate nations, such as [[VoidCorp]]. | Without guidance or organization from above, many Austrin colonies failed.

- | The First Galactic War came as a shock to most Austrins. At the war's inception, the corporate management relocated to Powder one of Austrin-Ontis's well-established worlds. As demand for A-O weapons rose, profits from the war filled the corporate treasury. At the same time that it was supplying arms, Austrin-Ontis fought against all of its neighbors at one time or another. The [[Terran Empire]] was the primary enemy, but Austrins also attacked the [[Leodal States]] and the fledgling [[Orion League]]. The Austrins pushed the Terrans out of their space and more than held their own against the stellar nations around them. Most important, Austrin-Ontis Unlimited kept its reputation as arms supplier to the interstellar community, even though it was both a supplier and a combatant. | + | The First Galactic War came as a shock to most Austrins.
