Arcadian Drive Yards

Arcadia Drive Yards are the leading manufacturer of Airship engines in Arcadia.

History
The company was begun by order of the Mystro Kimberly Delphine. She desired a strong company that could provide for the needs of places like Everthorn. Arcadian Drive Yards eventually evolved into making whole airships for both civilian and military use. They often work in tandem with the foundries at Everthorn to create Capital Class Airships. They keep their headquarters in Arcadia City.

Business Policies
They are firmly on the side of 'good' and do not make airships for pirates or other such groups. They make airships for other nations than Arcadia and its allies, for a slightly higher fee, of course. The quality, however, is excellent, and well worth the extra cash. Pirates often prize ADY engines for their durability and the easiness of modification, and because they cannot buy them without trickery, they often raid carriers that are transferring them to an Airship Foundry. This has strengthened the bond between ADY and its military sponsors and has, in fact, boosted sales of their goods to them.

Leadership
The chairwoman of the board of directors is the current Mystro. The CEO is often the heir apparent, or failing that, the eldest child or sibling. This is considered good training for the position they will eventually inherit.
