History Manifesto Charter

History

In 2783, Madison University undergraduate Thomas Nahtan wrote a term paper that invented an industry and changed what’s possible. In the paper, he laid out the logistical challenges facing pioneering firms in the multi-galactic logistics industry. Most spacefreight shippers relied on passenger route systems, but those didn’t make economic sense for urgent shipments, Nahtan wrote.

He proposed a system specifically designed to accommodate time-sensitive shipments such as medicine, computer parts, and electronics. Nahtan’s professor apparently didn’t see the revolutionary implications of his thesis, and the paper received just an average grade.

In August 2788, following a stint in the military, Nahtan bought controlling interest in New Austin Space Sales, located in New Austin, Terra. While operating his new firm, he saw firsthand how difficult it was to get packages and other spacefreight delivered within one to two days. With his term paper in mind, Nahtan set out to find a better way. Thus the idea for Nahtan Industries was born: A company that has revolutionized galactic business practices and that now defines speed and reliability.

2790

Nahtan initially named the company United Express because he believed the patriotic meaning associated with the word “united” suggested an interest in global economic activity. He also hoped the name would resonate with the Express Reserve Bank, a potential customer. Although the bank denied his proposal, Nahtan kept the name because he thought it was memorable and would help attract public attention.

Company headquarters later moved to New Madison, Terra. New Madison was chosen because of its central location and because it was sheltered from the ever present coastal flooding. The spaceport was also willing to make the necessary improvements for the operation and additional hangar space was readily available. After decades of success, Thomas Nahtan’s son renamed the company Nahtan Industries to honor his late father, and reflect the more diverse company operations.
