Black Moon Aerospace Corporation

The Black Moon Aerospace Corporation (BMAC) is a manufacturing company that specializes itself with the production of aerospace fighters. It was founded in the 26th century by Douglas "Black Moon" Washington, a former UNSC Aerospace Force pilot-turned-engineer.

Retiring during the Insurrection after his superiors tried to promote him out of the cockpit, Washington spent a year on Gilgamesh before he founded the company. A true patriot of Earth, he was disappointed in the lackluster atmospheric performance of existing space fighters such as the Longswords. He also acknowledged that many Outer Colonial insurgent groups already had the facilities necessary to build their own indigenous jet fighters that, if properly funded and developed, could exceed their UNSC counterparts. In his mind, the only acceptable solution were aerospace fighters that could operate effectively within and without an atmosphere, guaranteeing an altitude advantage over any terrestrial aircraft. He pressed on with this goal, despite the objection of analysts, industry experts, and career officers.

Very few of the Black Moon aerospace fighter prototypes were adopted by the UNSC, though they had a strong hand in designing the FSS-1000 Saber and Cutlass. The company also designed a conventional fighter jet to keep cash flowing into the company, which was so successful that Misriah Armory attempted a hostile takeover of Washington's company.
