"When Capital realizes that they are in danger, they will create the most powerful armed forces throughout the Galaxy."
— Balida Crux, the 1st Commander of the Fleet Affiliated to the Antonios Consortium
The Antonios Consortium initially focused on finance and shipping services, with all security affairs for its business activities outsourced. With the growth of its businesses, the surging demand for security made the existing security system unable to sustain itself. Promoted by Balida Crux, one of the board members of its ship manufacturing department, the consortium built up a fleet of a considerable size, supported by its ship manufacturing industry. The fleet not only provides support for the ever-growing businesses of the Antonios Consortium but also generates continuous demand for various research of the ship manufacturing department. As the fleet commander, Balida Crux achieved a lot of exploits leading the fleet and was finally given the rank of Marshal, known as "Marshal Crux."
In memory of Balida Crux's exploits, a carrier developed by the Antonios Precision Manufacturing Corporation will be named after him. The authorization for its blueprint will be available to you. Let's look at the blueprint release relevant affairs:
