Aamotech South, also known simply as "Aamotech" in Seylos, is the primary combat aircraft manufacturer for Seylos and North Adlantic Union. Aamotech was originally owned in whole by Prymontian conglomerate Kaldestad Aamot Group, before the parts of the company were sold to the Seylosian government. It has also recently taken a prominent role in the Seylosian space program, having received significant funding to help assist the continued research, development, and manufacturing of rockets.

History

At the end of the 2010s, Aamotech was facing significant financial issues as its international and local customer base dwindled. By 2020, the Kingdom of Seylos was one of the last major customers for Aamotech products, namely the Harrier family of aircraft. Facing bankruptcy, the company put some of its divisions up for sale, with deals concluded between Seylos and Iverica to split the companies military product lines and assets. After finishing the deal Seylos began to immediately incorporate the new Aamotech South into the Seylosian military supply chain. The new state-owned company's fortune's quickly turned around with continued expansion of the Harrier IIIB strike aircraft and the new found popularity of the Lysstråle Multirole within the North Adlantic Union's Ceriser states as a more cheap alternative to aircraft fleet modernization.

Aamotech South's aerospace expertise and manufacturing experience was also utilized for the production of the first Seylosian rockets to be launched from Kirkwall. The Seylosian Space and Aeronatics Administration poured significant additional money into the company to build the needed orbital manufacturing infrastructure in Kirkwall. It's cooperation with major Seylosian universities, the Gallambrian government, and various smaller Seylosian companies created the LVS-01 rocket. Its first successful launch was June 6th, 2022.

Most air production is still located in Prymont, however most of Aamotech South's orbital divisions and overall headquarters are located in Kirkwall, Seylos.

Customers

Aamotech South only inherited one international customer from its deal, Gaellicia, which owns and operats the Lysstråle and Harrier aircrafts.

Aamotech South mainly only caters to the internal military market of the North Adlantic Union, though the government of Seylos has been willing to extend any needed production to allied nations as well as honor existing contracts on the international market.
