Krueger Intergalactic evolved from a small workshop founded by Ozel Krueger into a major multi-billion credit company known for high-quality parts, weapons like the Tiger Strike Gatling gun, and eventually independent ship designs such as the L21 Wolf. Despite economic challenges and piracy forcing relocations, the company’s commitment to craftsmanship, strategic partnerships, and innovation has solidified its reputation and success in the Star Citizen universe.
Krueger Intergalactic began as a humble workshop founded by Ozel Krueger in 2558 on her home planet Berea in the Magnus system. With a commitment to “perfection in every piece,” the company quickly gained a reputation for delivering high-quality custom-machined parts on time and within budget. Benefiting from the Berea economic boom and the UPE military expansion, Krueger specialized in manufacturing a wide variety of components for weapons, construction equipment, and ships, establishing key partnerships with major companies like Bearing and RSI.
Despite the collapse of Magnus’ economy in 2631 after the UEE relocated its main shipbuilding yard, Krueger thrived by acquiring cheap real estate and equipment to expand operations. However, the rise of piracy and lawlessness in Magnus eventually forced the company to relocate. In 2785, after a significant pirate raid disrupted shipments, Krueger’s CEO Artium Chaneri guaranteed the company’s departure from Magnus to maintain crucial partnerships, ultimately moving their headquarters to Sherman on Castra 2, a safer and strategically advantageous location.
Krueger’s evolution from parts manufacturer to weapons producer began with the launch of the Tiger Strike Gatling gun. Initially met with skepticism, the weapon’s success grew after a strategic deal with Aegis to equip their Avengers with Tiger Strike guns. This breakthrough established Krueger’s reputation in the weapons market, encouraging further development and diversification in armaments, marking a significant shift in the company’s business model.
Building on its weapons success, Krueger ventured into ship production through partnerships, notably manufacturing the P-52 Merlin and P72 Archimedes for RSI’s Constellation line. In 2955, Krueger unveiled the L21 Wolf, their first fully independent ship design. Despite its initially high production costs, innovative manufacturing techniques allowed Krueger to produce the Wolf without compromise. This milestone was celebrated with a rebranding, updating the company logo and colors while retaining the iconic Bird of Prey symbol chosen by Ozel Krueger.
From its origins as a small workshop focused on quality parts, Krueger Intergalactic has grown into a respected multi-billion credit enterprise known across the empire. The company’s dedication to craftsmanship, strategic partnerships, and adaptability have driven its success through centuries of change. The motto “perfection in every piece” remains central to Krueger’s identity, symbolizing the enduring legacy of its founder and the company’s commitment to excellence in the Star Citizen universe.
