In a staggering upset, Hadean Drive Yards loses The Council’s “Next Generation Warship” contract to upstart Phoenix Propulsion Labs. Hadean’s balance sheet can’t survive the loss of the Council’s military contract and is slowly liquidated over the course of the next few years. In 287, The Council votes to award Phoenix Propulsion Labs with Hadean’s seat on The Council, becoming the first “native” corporation to join the ruling party.
