Phaeton S.A. is a Confederate sports car manufacturer based in Sacrament, Blackhelm Confederacy. It was founded in 1949 by Lucius Geta, and the company built their first car in 1950. Phaeton's road cars have been a symbol of luxury and wealth throughout Astyria.
History
In 1932, Exponential businessman Lucius Geta founded the Stabulum Phaethonti racing team, fielding Angelbridge racecars in competitions throughout the Empire of Exponent. The team won several races throughout the 1930s and received a significant amount of money from Angelbridge to race their cars. However, this partnership was brought to a sudden halt with the outbreak of the 2nd Great Astyrian War, which resulted in a temporary halt to all motorsport activity.
After the war, Geta founded Phaeton S.A. in 1949 and built his first road car in 1950. The brand quickly became popular among the aristocratic class of Exponent, providing a steady stream of income for the racing team.
