Sarna Source: Universal Air:

The cornerstone of Kearny-Fuchida Drive manufacture in the Federated Suns, Universal Air survived everything until the Jihad, resulting in its merge with Federated-Boeing Interstellar.

Overview

Being known under a variety of names during its centuries of existence, Universal Air has constructed JumpShips since the days of the Age of War. Based on Delavan, one of so called Golden Worlds and a single jump from New Avalon, Universal Air was well protected and able to draw upon the best resources available in FedSun space, ensuring it maintained production even during the worst technical decline of the Succession Wars era.

The vital nature of its products ensured the company incredible financial and political power, including obtaining the significant role in the production of the Fox-class WarShip. Its power was also a double edged sword: on numerous occasions House Davion having to remove every corporate officer from power due to questions of disloyalty to the Federated Suns.[1]

The company's proximity to the capital ensured its survival until the Word of Blake instigated a naval blockage during its siege of New Avalon. While escaping harm during the warfare of the Jihad, merchant and military traffic refused to travel anywhere near New Avalon to fear of riling up the Blakist's WarShips, robbing the company of sales and vital supplies to maintain production. Teetering on the brink of insolvency, Fed-Boeing engineered a merger with its long time partner, the combined company trading under the Fed-Boeing name but with UnAir's Delavan based shipyards its new headquarters.[2] FedBoeing introduced capital to expand the Delavan yards to produce several Pocket WarShip designs for the AFFS.[3]

I'd hate to **** off Hanse. Look what he did to the Caps. Well, if previous FedSun leaders replaced officers, I definitely don't see the Fox being above doing it too.
