Editing Esprit Industries

'''Esprit Industries''', headquartered in [[Paris]], [[France]], is the second largest [[French]] [[corporation]]. Its core business is military systems development, with other branches handling civilian [[electronics]], [[oil]], [[chemistry]] and [[infrastructures building]]. Its CEO was [[Herbert de Vaucanson]], but following a string of scandal in [[2071]], he had to resign and was replaced by [[Katrina Showski]], former leader of [[Cross Applied Technologies]] in Europe.<ref>{{src|gc}} ?</ref>

Esprit Industries started as a merger of GIAT, FN Herstal, and Thales. [[Saeder-Krupp]] later acquired GIAT in [[2038]], giving it a seat on the board. [[Monobe]] also acquired Fabrique Nationale, given it a seat on the board as well. Esprit currently markets many successful and diverse military products, among them in [[2062]] the Thales-Raytheon military network monitoring and analysis electronic suite, the Agas cruise missile, and the SEPER personal armor (used by [[MET2000]] and the French Foreign Legion).

Esprit's board is a mix of many opposing and conflicting interests. The Chairman is [[André Fergern]], a former French-Egyptian arms dealer who claimed the Chairmanship in [[2058]], and is reportedly connected to [[Aztechnology]] and French intelligence. Two major corporations have seats on the board, from Saeder-Krupp and Monobe. [[Mitsuhama]], through its joint ventures with Esprit, also has some influence there, along with various militaries (national and private).

In [[2073]] [[Esprit Industries]] has become a subsidiary of [[Aztechnology]].
