Lore
Developing variants
In 2899, the 300 series launched a single model: the 300i. The designer of the 300i, Andreas Lang, was insistent that Origin would begin producing variants in the third model year by designing entirely new models to fulfill different specialized tasks. Origin, remembering the expense of the first prototype and the ensuing battle to lower production costs, balked at the idea. For all of the project's rhetoric, later amplified by the series' initial marketing, the company wanted to borrow an important aspect from RSI's Aurora: a
modular space frame designed to easily adapt variants. Like the Aurora, the 300 series would adapt the initial version into a host of different
factory models built atop the standard design. By all accounts, the decision to develop variants instead of bespoke models soured Lang on the project altogether.
The launch of 315p
In 2930, the Origin 315p was launched in 2930 as a 'pocket explorer,' an unusual attempt to marry the 300i's lines with improved power output and a newly developed scanning package. Despite the odd duck nature of the design, the 315p proved a reliable performer, with much of the success coming because smaller prospecting outfits were happy to have a dedicated spacecraft that could perform just as well, but provide the comfort and style that was often overlooked by other manufacturers.
