Security
GMN Starworks traces its lineage back to the Grumman Naval Consortium, a 21st-century defense and aerospace contractor renowned
for its pioneering warships and spacecraft prototypes. As humanity expanded into interstellar space, the remnants of Grumman’s legacy reorganized under the GMN banner -
History
In the early days of interstellar expansion, GMN attempted to revive its legendary legacy by developing the F-14X Tomcat II, a space-adapted strike fighter modeled after its ancient 20th-century namesake. The program was meant to prove that GMN could produce a carrier-based superiority fighter that could dominate in vacuum and atmosphere alike.
But the project was plagued with budget overruns, failed prototypes, and political interference. The F-14X never made it past field trials. Investors fled, UEE contracts dried up, and the name “Grumman” was considered a relic of the past.
The Pivot — From Defense to Offense
Rather than collapse, GMN reinvented itself. Shedding its old skin, the company rebranded as GMN Starworks and leaned into the far more profitable business of private military contracting (PMC).
PMC Fleet: GMN began fielding its own warships, hiring veterans, mercenaries, and test pilots to form an independent strike force.
Corporate Security: GMN contracts out its fleet for convoy escorts, planetary sieges, and covert operations — the kind the UEE “officially” can’t sanction.
Tech Development: While fighting for profit, GMN still develops modular weapons, drones, and advanced avionics — testing them in live combat to sell to the highest bidder.
Manifesto
From Tomcat to the Stars
We were born from failure.
Our attempt to bring the F-14 Tomcat into the void was the last echo of an old age — an age where humanity believed tradition alone could win the future. We learned the hard way: space is not forgiving, and history does not protect you.
But we did not die. We adapted.
We shed our skin as a defense contractor bound by governments and politics. We became something greater: a corporate military powerhouse. We built fleets not just to defend, but to dominate. We no longer serve nations. We serve profit, progress, and power.
