 While the company might have been able to ride out these lawsuits and subsist on their domestic income under normal circumstances, circumstances on Ayenee are rarely normal.  War had come to Ayenee and much of the Capital City was now occupied by hostile invaders.  Unwilling to take such an existential threat lying down, the CEO initiated a major military operation that only ended when the entire district surrounding Feisar Arms HQ had been liberated. While the company might have been able to ride out these lawsuits and subsist on their domestic income under normal circumstances, circumstances on Ayenee are rarely normal.  War had come to Ayenee and much of the Capital City was now occupied by hostile invaders.  Unwilling to take such an existential threat lying down, the CEO initiated a major military operation that only ended when the entire district surrounding Feisar Arms HQ had been liberated.
  
-With the Feisar Arms military being the only thing preventing the district from being retaken, the CEO made a decision that would haunt the company for the rest of its existence: he invoked the philosophy of "might makes right" and declared that if the city government wasn't strong enough to protect the district, then they didn't deserve to rule it.  He announced that the entire district was now corporate property, and that anyone who wanted to dispute that claim could "come and take it."  When no challengers stepped up he renamed the district Merqury City and began rebuilding the ruins into a futuristic, near-utopian enclave.+With the Feisar Arms military being the only thing preventing the district from being retaken, the CEO made a decision that would haunt the company for the rest of its existence: he invoked the philosophy of "might makes right" and declared that if the city government wasn't strong enough to protect the district, then they didn't deserve to rule it.  He announced that the entire district was now corporate property, and that anyone who wanted to dispute that claim could "come and take it."  When no challengers stepped up he renamed the district [[ayenee:location:merqury_city|Merqury City]] and began rebuilding the ruins into a futuristic, near-utopian enclave.
  
-The expense of rebuilding Merqury City and providing humanitarian aid to its citizens left the company's domestic assets exhausted.  Still, the management had projections which painted a brilliant financial future for Merqury City, and were hopeful that the company would be back in the black before the company would be in any real financial danger.  Those hopes were shattered, however, when a rogue agent detonated a nuclear warhead within Merqury City.+The expense of rebuilding Merqury City and providing humanitarian aid to its citizens left the company's domestic assets exhausted.  Still, the management had projections which painted a brilliant financial future for Merqury City, and were hopeful that their finances would be back in the black before the company would be in any real financial danger.  Those hopes were shattered, however, when a rogue agent detonated a nuclear warhead within the enclave.
  
-Merqury City, its residents, and the corporate HQ itself were all vaporized in an instant.  The company's reputation was left in the same state as Merqury City's remains: a shattered, radioactive mess.  It was an unmitigated catastrophe, but it was a catastrophe that could have been avoided but for the increasingly irrational and incompetent decisions being made by the company's CEO.  With his back against the wall and no other options available, the CEO resigned in disgrace.  He seemingly disappeared from the face of the galaxy following this announcement, leaving the mantle of leadership to settle upon the shoulders of the one senior officer that hadn't died, resigned in disgust, or outright defected to another faction: his wife, Camaryn.+Merqury City, its residents, and the corporate HQ itself were all vaporized in an instant.  The company's reputation was left in the same state as Merqury City's remains: a shattered, radioactive mess.  It was an unmitigated catastrophe, but it was a catastrophe that could have been avoided but for the increasingly irrational and incompetent decisions being made by the company's CEO.  With his back against the wall and no other options available, the CEO resigned in disgrace.  He seemingly disappeared from the face of the galaxy following this announcement, leaving the mantle of leadership to settle upon the shoulders of the one senior officer that hadn't died, resigned in disgust, or outright defected to another faction: his now ex-wife, [[ayenee:character:camaryn_white|Camaryn White]].
  
-Camaryn White had never really been a public-facing member of the company's leadership, and when she took over as CEO nobody really believed that she could reverse the company's fortunes quickly enough to avoid bankruptcy.  Having just lost her husband, Camaryn wasn'particular certain in her own abilities either.  Still, she knew that there were still good people in the company depending on her, so she rolled up her sleeves and got to work.+Camaryn had never really been a public-facing member of the company's leadership, and when she took over as CEO nobody really believed that she could reverse the company's fortunes quickly enough to avoid bankruptcy.  Given the emotional wreck that a failed marriage had left her, Camaryn wasn'particularly certain in her own abilities either.  Still, she knew that there were still good people in the company depending on her, so she rolled up her sleeves and got to work.
  
 Desperate measures would be needed to save Feisar Arms, and Camaryn's first priority was to stop the financial bleeding.  She directed what remained of the company's legal teams to begin immediately settling the numerous lawsuits levied against the company out of court; the company was effectively paralyzed so long as its remaining assets were tied up in court.  Having seen that Feisar Arms was on the ropes, the plaintiffs quickly decided that low-ball settlement offers were better than the nothing-burgers they'd get if Feisar Arms went into bankruptcy. Desperate measures would be needed to save Feisar Arms, and Camaryn's first priority was to stop the financial bleeding.  She directed what remained of the company's legal teams to begin immediately settling the numerous lawsuits levied against the company out of court; the company was effectively paralyzed so long as its remaining assets were tied up in court.  Having seen that Feisar Arms was on the ropes, the plaintiffs quickly decided that low-ball settlement offers were better than the nothing-burgers they'd get if Feisar Arms went into bankruptcy.

 Phase two was to break Feisar Arms up into a number of subsidiary companies that would each focus on a specific market segment.  Federated Biotech, Federated Dynamics, Federated Computer Systems, Federated Heavy Industries, and numerous other companies all spun off from Feisar Arms.  To avoid accusations of attempting to whitewash the company's history, Feisar Arms would retain its original name and branding despite having a much more limited role. Phase two was to break Feisar Arms up into a number of subsidiary companies that would each focus on a specific market segment.  Federated Biotech, Federated Dynamics, Federated Computer Systems, Federated Heavy Industries, and numerous other companies all spun off from Feisar Arms.  To avoid accusations of attempting to whitewash the company's history, Feisar Arms would retain its original name and branding despite having a much more limited role.

 The age of Feisar Arms came to an end as Camaryn ended her announcement with a bold boast: "The future is Federated." The age of Feisar Arms came to an end as Camaryn ended her announcement with a bold boast: "The future is Federated."

 The main duty of Feisar Arms in the modern day is to screen, hire, train, equip, and assign Federated military and security personnel to protect Federated people and assets throughout the galaxy.  There is also some speculation that Feisar Arms maintains the intelligence arm of Federated Technologies, but nobody has ever been able to substantiate those rumors. The main duty of Feisar Arms in the modern day is to screen, hire, train, equip, and assign Federated military and security personnel to protect Federated people and assets throughout the galaxy.  There is also some speculation that Feisar Arms maintains the intelligence arm of Federated Technologies, but nobody has ever been able to substantiate those rumors.
