Discover Star Citizen - Apocalypse Arms - Interesting And Deadly
2 min read26 Apr 2026
TL;DR
This video covers the lore origin story of Apocalypse Arms, a ship weapons manufacturer in Star Citizen. It traces how construction magnate Dalton Collabello discovered century-old prototype weapons built for the Messer regime and turned them into a major arms brand.
Key points
1
Dalton Collabello bought a military surplus crate in Saestus containing prototype ship weapons designed by Aegis Dynamics engineer Juliet Malpin in the early 2790s for the Messer government.
2
Malpin developed a ballistic Gatling gun and a mass driver under the classified codename Genly Engineering Solutions, named after her young son.
3
The crate was lost for over a century after the collapse of the Messer regime, when the UEE military was diverted to suppress the Garron 2 rebellion.
4
Collabello spent years tracking down Malpin's original design documents through census records, private investigators, and eventually her great-granddaughter, before selling his construction business to launch Apocalypse Arms in 2913.
5
Apocalypse Arms controversially marketed its weapons by openly acknowledging their Messer origins, which hurt its reputation in some circles but proved commercially effective.
Key takeaways
→
Apocalypse Arms weapons are rooted in designs over 100 years old but updated with modern technology, explaining their distinctive style and high performance.
→
The brand carries a stigma due to its Messer origins and association with conflict zones like Nexus 4 and Sharon 3, which players should factor into roleplay or faction choices.
→
Juliet Malpin also contributed to UEE-Banu border scanning technology, making her one of the more quietly influential engineers in Star Citizen lore.
Notable quotes
“Apocalypse Arms was a human success story.”
“All of this makes Apocalypse Arms one of the more interesting and deadly manufacturers in the empire.”
