The Baca family, headquartered
on their 95,000 acre ranch located in the Jimez Mountains near Los Alamos,
had managed to maintain quite an economic foothold on the immediate region
during the Crash of '29 and later events. During this period of chaos,
the family quietly annexed Los Alamos, claiming it officially as their
property. Everyone else was busy fending for themselves, and the Bacas
promised to protect the people of that rather small mountain town, so no
one complained. Nothing had really come of it until recently, with the
founding of the Baca Aviation Concern (BAC) in 1936. It turned out
the Baca family had been quietly building this small aircraft plant in
Los Alamos since its annexation, hoping to break into a totally new market.
The BAC specializes in the construction of autogyros, especially useful
in the mountainous regions of northern Arixo. While they produce a few
airtaxis and airbuses, their main focus are combat autogyros, a risky but
so far profitable field. They sell to anyone, pirates and other miscreants
included.
BAC-i100, i200, i300, and i400 (Cricket, Grasshopper, Locust, Cicada): The most popular of BAC's designs, each of the i series uses the same chassis, with varying weapons and armor. BAC a500 Azote: The second combat
autogyro from BAC, sporting heavier armor and weaponry, though at the cost
of speed.
