'''Altair Thrusters''' is a propulsion systems manufacturer known throughout the ''SS Scavenger DX-1017'' universe for producing commercial-grade thruster assemblies used on cargo vessels, service craft, and other working ships. The company is recognized not only for its products, but also for its broad advertising presence across stations and ports.

== Overview ==
Altair Thrusters supplies propulsion units and related hardware for commercial shipping routes, including recurring deliveries between [[Scavenger Base]] (STSS) and [[Lenak's Ship Port]] (LSPT) in orbit over Tona Prime.

The company became more widely known to the crew of the ''Wanderer'' after a contract was established to transport Altair Thrusters cargo from STSS to LSPT on a repeating six-week schedule.

== Reputation ==
Altair Thrusters is known for:
* Commercial propulsion systems
* Strong presence in station advertising
* Promotional apparel distributed to ship crews and station personnel
* Maintaining active trade relationships in both Prosian and Tonan regions

Its marketing strategy includes wide distribution of branded shirts and other clothing items to cargo crews and merchants. This practice was humorously referred to aboard the ''Wanderer'' as a form of '''passive advertising'''.

== Connection to the Wanderer ==
The company’s relationship with the ''Wanderer'' began after several members of the crew were seen wearing Altair Thrusters shirts at [[Scavenger Base]]. A company representative later approached Captain [[Alan Ku'os Dathan]] and offered the ship a repeating cargo contract.

One crate of promotional apparel was also left aboard for the crew of the ''Wanderer'', including multiple sizes, colors, and styles.

== Known Trade Route ==
* '''Origin:''' [[Scavenger Base]] (STSS)
* '''Destination:''' [[Lenak's Ship Port]] (LSPT)
* '''Frequency:''' Every six weeks
* '''Primary cargo:''' Thruster assemblies
* '''Secondary cargo:''' Promotional clothing and brand materials

== In-Universe Significance ==
Altair Thrusters represents the practical, industrial side of interstellar commerce in the ''Scavenger'' setting. The company’s merchandise became part of everyday shipboard life, and its branding was worn by multiple crew members, including:
* [[Candy]]
* [[Tanak]]
* [[Tanara]]
* [[Larona Ku'os Dathan]]

== Merchandise ==
