Exploration
Gagarin GmbH is a logistics and surveying company based in New Austin, Terra. A family owned and operated business, Gagarin has been providing services for private, corporate, and government clients throughout UEE and Banu space since 2921.
History
Founding
Gagarin GmbH is a family owned and operated interstellar logistics and surveying company. The company was founded in 2921 by Barbara Meitner, Tomoko Kawakami, Marcus Li, and Pedro Gagarin. During its early years the company earned most of its revenue taking surveying and repair services subcontracts from large resource extraction companies. Through careful investment and by leveraging her security clearance and experience operating with the UEEN and UEE Marines, Meitner led the growth of Gagarin GmbH into a successful specialist exploration company.
Upon completion of her UEEN service in 2942, Gagarin’s daughter Sofia assumed leadership of the company.
Second Generation
Sofia Gagarina served in the UEEN as a M2 Hercules pilot reaching the rank of Lieutenant Commander. Gagarina served three tours with the 220th Transport Squadron before finishing her service as an instructor with the 621st Training Squadron in the Kilian system, retiring with the rank of Lieutenant Commander.
Upon joining the family business, Sofia leveraged her own military experience and training to refocus Gagarin GmbH into the long range heavy transport business. Purchasing a surplus Crusader Hercules and a refurbished MISC Starfarer, the company began subcontracting transport services for military contractors requiring additional capacity. Now focused primarily on logistics and support services for remote outposts, since 2950 Gagarin GmbH has earned the majority of its revenue from transport of high value cargo in medium and low security systems.
