Yobhn Raí-Hanareth, doing business as Yorha, is a Riyan multinational aerospace, defense, security, communications, and advanced technologies company. It was founded in 1970 as a government-backed merger of several Riyan defense contractors, including Ióbhn Industries, in addition to Hanareth SDI. The company is headquartered in Siéryn-Ann, at which their largest manufacturing plant is also located.
History
Origins
Riyana was only beginning to expand its manufacturing industry in the 1960s after recovering from its devastation caused by the Mirarian Theater. The country's geographic position made it considerably vulnerable to potential threats from the Kúúlist bloc's Qonklaks, particularly as tensions between Kúúlist and Sharkunen bloc countries were on the rise. This pushed the Riyan government to spend as much as 22% of its GDP to defense. By the late 1950s, having been restrained by availability of funding, the government sought to industrialize the country to fulfill the needed production capacity through local manufacturing of indigenous and licensed defense equipment.
Of the companies that would participate in the merger, the largest of which in terms of production capacity is Ióbhn Industries, which was the largest producer of vehicles in Riyana. The company was the main manufacturer and supplier of industrial and military vehicles for the Riyan Armed Forces. Much of their production capacity was however crippled due to the outbreak of the war, although their supply chain remained somewhat intact. The company only started to restore operations in 1952. With their reestablished supply chain, in 1954 to expand their production Ióbhn signed contracts with Shohuanese and Alotol defense contractors to manufacture several of their defense equipment in Riyana.
Other companies participating in the merger include another Riyan aircraft manufacturer (name), missile manufacturer (name2), and several other smaller contractors.
Merger
Plans for a merger of Riyan defense contractors has been proposed during the 1960s by the Riyan government. Supporters of the merger stated that the plan, which would combine existing contractors' technology, patents, and production capacity into a single company, will benefit from a more streamlined, vertically integrated production cycle. Ióbhn shareholders and members of its board of directors on the other hand opposed the merger plan, casting doubts at the government's ability to manage such a company. Ióbhn CFO Cinder Ámae cited a case with the state-owned company Sév Iron & Steel's attempts to monopolize the domestic market, allegedly to fix prices of steel, an issue that was then raised to the New Liberation-led Parliament.
In 1966, a Qonklese flight squadron in the Thejklaks region conducted a patrol within 150 kilometres (93 mi) of the Riyan border, in reaction to (name2)'s anti-air missile tests in Esinvec Base and Sáil Airfield. The Exterior Intelligence Office (EIO) subsequently sent a memo to the Armed Forces recommending procurement of substantial amounts of fighter jets. Around the same time, representatives of (Name) Aircraft Company approached Hanareth SDI of the merger plan, and offered the Lugid-based company to participate in the merger. At the time Hanareth SDI had already suffered financial losses from cost overruns on the development of their HSDI Sidewinder reconnaissance aircraft. News of the merger reached Hanareth Corporation director (Name Nameson), who then displayed interest in the Riyan merger plan.
Fighter aircraft
Yorha started its development on their first fighter aircraft in 1974 through its research and development division Stardust Labs. The division also worked on Yorha's missile systems, later to be developed for their space launch rocket. Development of the fighter jet reached a significant milestone in 1979, as Yorha unveils its first fighter aircraft, the Battlefighter 1B. An air superiority strike aircraft, it is displayed alongside other Yorha prototypes in time for the 1979 joint Amiyant Sea military exercise. The initial parade is publicly broadcast, and the 1B's appearance gained significant publicity in Lugid media, as it competes directly with TVDS's Re-7.
Construction of first production 1Bs started in 1980, and entered service on the Armed Forces of Riyana Air Force in 1982. The 1B engaged in its first combat in 1988 in the aftermath of the Sáil Incident, in which Qonklese insurgent groups attacked civilian targets in the borderland city of Sáil. Although there were plans to build an export model 1B, no 1Bs were made for other than the Riyan Air Force; the 1B was considered for procurement by the Xynder Air Force in 1987, but was dropped in favor of (Shohuanese jet) and TVDS Re-7A.
With funds acquired from the sale of 1Bs, Yorha acquired (name3) Chemicals in 1983, and merged some of the company's operations into Yorha Composites. The subsidiary helped the company's development of the 8A, unveiled to the public in 1988 in that year's Helvey Trade Expo. Alphabet 8A is an experimental aircraft used to demonstrate Yorha's SIGINT and stealth capabilities, which is to be developed into the Battlefighter 2B. The first production 2B was to enter service in 1996, but delayed to 2000 due to production delays caused by the 1995 Fordas financial crisis.
