Vitolwing Industries

Vitolwing is a company that makes Flight Packs built for Civilian, Military and Hunter/Huntress use. Their Headquarters is stationed in Atlas.

History
Founded by Bronzeden Vitolwing, the company made its start in Atlas. After a rocky start, they were granted funds and a small facility to conduct research after they were noticed by scouters from the SDC. While they still remain independent, they were given the necessary Dust and Lien in order to make their designs a reality.

After holding many events showcasing their technology in the different Kingdoms (hosted and sponsored by the SDC, in some cases), many different people took interest in their products, ranging from Civilian Pilots to some Kingdom Officials and Private Military Companies to Hunters and Huntresses from all kingdoms and sales quickly rose.

While they did have mass produced packs that were much less expensive, could be fitted to most people and were easily replaceable, these were mostly bought only by the civilians and militaries. Hunters and Huntresses (including students aspiring to become as such) were not only given special deals for their products, but also mostly bought custom packs which were tailored to suit their fighting styles and needs in combat, even going as far as to put Hunters and Huntresses in the field with experimental craft that use new engines, fuel systems and things such as vectored thrust and forward swept wings.

About 16 years after the creation of Vitolwing Industries, Bronzeden Vitolwing (age 67) died when he was on his way to a meeting in Vacuo when his train was bombed by members of the White Fang. His successor has been kept a secret ever since, as nobody ever sees or hears him. Even in public addresses, they have him silhouetted and scramble his voice, much to the concern of people who work for them.

Nowadays, most tests are conducted over the tundras to the North West of Atlas and over the seas to the West. Recent eyewitness accounts claim to have seen a strange black flight pack being used that made their wearer travel at speeds that were previously unheard of and are thought to exceed Mach 3, though Vitolwing has denied any such craft existing.
