Sialumh Heavy Industries
Sialumh Heavy Industries, formed in 2319 SSD from a merger of 119 smaller democratic firms operating near the base of the Kamma Spine, is an integrated design collective specializing in vehicular design and industrial transport. Though formally headquartered in Port Auren since 2383 SSD, production and administrative facilities are primarily located outside of Compact space.
Subdivisions
Sialumh Heavy Industries has created and acquired a number of smaller ventures that, while financially and administratively independent, are tied into the greater design ecosystem and freelancer pool of the collective; informal adoption of common subsystems across divisions is common. Extant and dissolved subdivisions are as follows:
SHIMAD
Formerly a small startup by the name of Archipelago Atomics, SHIMAD (Sialumh Heavy Industries Metastables and Atomics Division) merged with Sialumh Heavy Industries in 2377 SSD. Specialising in the design and production of reactors and energetic materials, they have grown renowned for the safety and reliability of their products - SHIMAD blasting explosives are known for their stability on the hottest of rocky planets, and their modular fusion reactor cores, while not as high-performance as those of Kamma-Seim Plasmadynamics or as cheap as those of Concord Industries, are commonly used where ruggedness, durability, and versatility are vital.
At present, SHIMAD is the largest autonomous subdivision of Sialumh Heavy Industries; a prospective merger with EnerSYS would have increased its market share above that of the rest of SHI combined, but was turned down in 2420.
SHIMAD holds numerous contracts and licensing agreements with Bulgine Systems Co. and Concord Spaceworks in addition to its dealings with other Sialumh Heavy Industries divisions.
Series:

- SHIKMGR Fusion Assembly - the first sustainable muon-gas reactor technology to be developed post-Silence.
- B-SHIKMGR Fusion Assembly
- SHIASNC Alchemical Processor - a collaboration with the Academia Arcanos.
- ModuCR-24 Fusion Assembly
- ModuCR-48 Fusion Assembly
SHIIMPEC
SHIIMPEC (Sialumh Heavy Industries Integrated Mechanicals, Propulsion, and Energy Commission) was formed in 2383 shortly after the registration of the collective in Port Auren, specialising in the production of aerospace vehicles and ballistics systems. Despite the success of the AtB-100 "Hagraven" series and related aircraft, SHIIMPEC began experiencing financial issues in the 2450s, culminating in a series of schisms and disputes throughout the 2480s and the withdrawal of Sialumh Heavy Industries support in 2484. SHIIMPEC and its remaining assets were acquired by Concord Industries under its Aero and Starflight divisions in 2491.
