An Overview of Imperial Industry, 2017-2018

The following guide is provided by the Imperial Association of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, a version of it being published annually in all languages with which the Empire has diplomatic and/or trade relations.

I. Automobile Industry
Pēgasos A.E. (Private, based at Thoricus, Pelasgia)

Originally a 19th-century manufacturer of bicycles under the name Leontopoulos & Aurēliadēs, the company started expanding into motorcycle production before becoming a full-fledged producer of automobiles, adopting its current name after its incorporation. Having cooperated with practically all major Imperial automobile companies in the past, Pēgasos A.E. is one of the most popular and beloved brands of the Empire's market, having provided the majority of the four-wheel automobiles in the country since the 20th century.

The is a classy and comfortable four-door saloon car, being among the newest models of the company's sedan line. Boasting both front-wheel and all-wheel drive, it comes in the Classic, Elegance, and Luxury Models, or all price ranges and needs. A police car version is also available, being considered the prime candidate for future purchases by the Imperial security services.

The is the latest addition to the company's family car line, owing the production of its second generation to the success of its first. Available in a five door estate or hatchback style, this small but practical family car suits all the needs of a modern family. Upgrades from the older version include more leg space for passengers, changes to its front to avoid collision with speed bumps, while a 4x4 version is available. The Despoina is currently the vehicle of choice for the Imperial Astynomia and the Imperial Politarchy, the police car version of the vehicle being available for export.

The is a supermini car intended for all the commuters and residents of busy urban areas, who struggle to find parking space. Coming in 4-door saloon, 5-door hatchback and 5-door estate versions, while a sport version is available for those who want the advantages of a small car without wanting to miss out on the benefits of a powerful engine.


The is the oldest of thetwo supermini cars currently produced by Pēgasos. Its competitive price and high reliability, along with a large number of available versions such as a 5-door hatchback, 5-door estate, 2-door coupé utility, and 2-door panel van, have served to make the Hippos one of the most popular cars of its kind across the Empire and beyond. This was the first Pēgasos automobile to feature considerable safety provisions, including an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), an airbag for the driver, and seat belt tensioners, as well as comfort features, such as a built-in air conditioning system.

Artemis A.E. (Private, based at Selymbria, Pelasgia)
Established in the 1920s by two Tiburian mechanical engineers, Artemis was originally a producer of farming equipment and vehicles, a field in which it excelled. Moving into the production of industrial and utility vehicles by the 1940s, it had come to dominate that market in the Empire by the 1960s.

The is a utilitarian four-wheel vehicle, often used by residents of the Empire's countryside, especially farmers.

A variety of of the car are available, ranging from ambulances to utility trucks . Versions of the car have been adopted by the Imperial Armed Forces and the security forces.

The is a rear-engined heavy-duty bus with a step entrance floor. Sporting a 12.1 litre rear-mounted 309 kW (420 bhp) engine, it is designed for inter-city travel, while also being capable of fulfilling in-city duties, with double-decker and versions existing. The Anikētos is the latest product of the Artemis in the coach department, and is widely popular within the Empire for large-distance travel and tourist transport.

The is a small fire-fighting vehicle based on a pickup-truck chassis, typically used in rural fire departments or the fire brigades of small towns and municipalities to put out flames until larger units can arrive. The vehicle is purchased frequently in the Empire as well as a variety of other arid countries.

The is the modern version of the famous PH-192 medium and light truck series of the company. Its chassis has a variety of applications, ranging from civilian utility vehicle to military transport, being the most commonly used of its type in the Empire for the former role.

The is a heavy truck, sporting a rigid backbone tube and swinging half-axes. The PH-182 is suitable for environments all kinds and for extreme temperatures, and can be used for all sorts of heavy duties, such as mining transport or heavy road transport. 4x4 and 6x6 versions of the truck exist.

The is a heavy truck, sporting a rigid backbone tube and swinging half-axes. The PH-179 has been steadily produced and used since the 1980s, being a reliable and efficient product. 4x4, 6x6, 8x8, 10x8, 10x10, 12x8 and 12x12 variants exist, as the PH-179 can be used to fill roles including anything from heavy transport, agricultural transport and fire truck to military transport, mobile command centre and mobile bridge carrier.

Civilian ships built by the above shipyards:
Dry/Bulk carriers:




    • The Delphin Class Freighter, a handysize bulk carrier, with a DWT of 35,000. This bulk carrier is the basis of any national merchant fleet, being able to transport cargo in all ports, as they can enter smaller ports due to their size.
    • The Herakles Class Freighter, a handymax bulk carrier, with a DWT of 55,000 and a length of 290 meters. This bulk carrier is preffered by the trade fleets of countries that see above average amount of shipping but do not so great as to demand panamax level vessels.
    • The Titan Class Freighter, a panamax bulk carrier, with a DWT of 75,000. This bulk carrier forms the backbone of most major trade fleets, being able to go through all major cannals and dock at all major ports.
    • The Galaxias Class Freighter, a capesize bulk carrier, with a DWT of 125,000, being the seond largest known shipping class currently in operation. This bulk carrier is a ship that only the world's greatest trade fleets can afford and only they need. Being larger than most cannals, it is fit only for the world's largest cannals and trade ports.
    • The Archon Class Freighter, a capesize bulk carrier, with an average DWT of 156,000. The largest class of dry bulk carriers, some ore-carrying vessels going up to a DWT of 400,000 (these are sometimes classed as a separate category). This carrier is fit only for the largest cannals and trade ports in Europe, due to its extreme size.
Liquid carriers:
  • The Himyar Class Freighter, a class of oil tankers between 75,000 and 115,000 DWT. The smallest class of liquid bulk carrier, it is still a massive class of vessel. A separate version meant to carry gas, typically referred to as S-Max, after Semites Chemicals A.E., the company for which it was built, also exists.
  • The Nearchos Class Freighter, a class of oil tankers with a DWT of 160,000. These tankers have been designed to be able to go through most major canals and enter most major trade ports.
  • The Skorpios Class Freighter, a class of oil tankers with DWT values ranging between 165,000 and 320,000. These ships are only capable of entering the largest of trade ports and cannals.
  • The Atlas Clas Freighter, a the largest known class of oil tanker, with ships ranging between 320,000 and 550,00 DWT. These ships are too large for most trade ports and cannals, and typically enter the few locations that they can to distribute their cargo to smaller vessels or to terrestrial transports.
