'''Trent Delaney''' is the former chairperson of the board of directors of the [[independent]] [[Ships|ship]] manufacturer [[Lakon Spaceways]]. He was selected to replace the previous chairperson, [[Naomi Landseer]], in an emergency shareholder meeting on December 22, 3306, after Landseer was removed for her opposition to a buyout bid for Lakon from [[Core Dynamics]]. Under Delaney's leadership, Lakon quickly acquiesced to the Core Dynamics takeover. When Core Dynamics terminated the merger process on February 10, 3307 after the takeover was declared illegal by the [[Independent Commission for Market Equality]], Delaney resigned and Landseer was reinstated.

== Timeline ==
10 FEB 3307
*The acquisition of [[Lakon Spaceways]] by [[Core Dynamics]] has been revoked following revelations of illegal activity. An inquiry by the [[Independent Commission for Market Equality]] stated that former Core Dynamics CEO [[Jupiter Rochester]] "exerted unduly influence on Lakon shareholders, including bribery and blackmail". This led to new appointees to the board of directors, who were paid to approve the hostile takeover. The inquiry also factored in the recent [[Federal High Court]] trial, which proved that Jupiter Rochester was directly responsible for the destruction of [[Starship One]] in 3301. In both cases, he set up shell companies to move enormous funds via unregistered banking systems. Core Dynamics refused to comment on the allegations, but its legal team has terminated the transfer process. The entire corporation is currently in disarray due to several departments becoming an independent faction under the name [[Jupiter Division]]. At Lakon Spaceways, Trent Delaney and several other directors have resigned. During an emergency meeting, a majority of stakeholders approved reinstating [[Naomi Landseer]] as chairperson. With stock values plummeting and industry confidence low, the future of the company remains uncertain. However, [[Sirius Corporation]] confirmed that it has made preliminary offers with regards to acquiring Lakon as a subsidiary.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6023d8a8e8823b7e65439057 GalNet: Takeover of Lakon Spaceways Declared Illegal]</ref>
15 JAN 3307
*The purchase of shipbuilding company [[Lakon Spaceways]] by [[Core Dynamics]] is in doubt after allegations of illegal business practices. [[Irfan Karim]] reported on the recent developments for The [[Alliance Tribune]]: "The [[Independent Commission for Market Equality]] has confirmed that several Lakon shareholders sold their stock to shell companies, which were covertly established by departments within Core Dynamics. Furthermore, two serious accusations of blackmail have been referred to [[Alliance Interpol]]. Trent Delaney, Lakon's newly installed chairperson, has dismissed these claims. But coupled with serious rumblings from the [[Council of Admirals]] over losing a military supplier, this hostile takeover now looks less certain." In the [[Federation]], the [[News Feed|newsfeed]] [[Sol Today]] ran an editorial piece on the situation: "Acquiring Lakon is another bold triumph for manufacturing colossus Core Dynamics. It's a shame that it's being undermined by the petty bureaucrats of the [[Alliance]], who should be gratefully grasping this financial lifeline. It's also laughable that CEO Jupiter Rochester, one of our titans of industry, is being stabbed in the back by old-fashioned colleagues who are clearly jealous of his success. Perhaps his '[[Jupiter Division]]' has finally outgrown the corporation and deserves to forge its own path."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6001a5e6b9525f08c010c66e GalNet: Uncertainty Hits Takeover of Lakon Spaceways]</ref>
05 JAN 3307
*The shipbuilding company [[Lakon Spaceways]] has officially accepted a bid for ownership from [[Federation|Federal]] corporation [[Core Dynamics]]. The proposal from Core Dynamics CEO [[Jupiter Rochester]] was ratified following a majority vote by Lakon's board of directors, many of whom were recently appointed following resignations demanded by shareholders. Trent Delaney, the new chairperson, confirmed the merger in a public statement: "We are overjoyed that Lakon Spaceways will join the Core Dynamics family, thereby overturning the mistakes of the previous management and setting us on course for a bright future. The transfer of ownership will take another two months to formalise. In that time, it will be business as usual for the manufacture and sale of our ships." The [[Federal Commerce Authority]] has approved the corporate takeover. However, the [[Independent Commission for Market Equality]] is still investigating reports of irregularities. The [[Council of Admirals]] has expressed concerns that a military supplier for the [[Alliance Defence Force]] should be owned by a Federal defence contractor. Admiral [[Rachel Ziegler]] informed the [[Alliance Assembly|Assembly]]: "Regardless of our cordial relationship with the Federation, security issues will inevitably arise if the [[Alliance Chieftain]] and her sister ships are constructed by a foreign power. The ADF is already woefully underfunded, and this places extra strain on our ability to defend our interests."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5fdce64feca6fe1892090603 GalNet: Core Dynamics Purchases Lakon Spaceways]</ref>
29 DEC 3306
*Economic instability has caused the value of shares in [[Lakon Spaceways]] to drop to unprecedented lows, placing the company's future in doubt. A hostile takeover bid by [[Federation|Federal]] corporation [[Core Dynamics]] has raised concerns in the [[Alliance]] over the loss of a major defence contractor. The [[Independent Commission for Market Equality]] has also reported irregularities in the recent transfer of share ownership, which may lead to criminal investigations. As a result, although Lakon Spaceways continues to manufacture and sell ships, its lack of reserves and a loss of confidence among investors may lead to insolvency and dissolution. Trent Delaney, the newly appointed chairperson of Lakon's board of directors, announced: "Financial mismanagement and a litany of poor business decisions have led to this situation. Rest assured that once formal negotiations with our new parent company are complete, Lakon's stock will rise to new heights." According to Federal business analysts, there are indications of displeasure among Core Dynamics senior directors regarding this takeover. An anonymous source from within the corporation told [[Vox Galactica]]: "The Lakon merger is entirely [[Jupiter Rochester]]'s project. Frankly, it's sheer greed. Our income has soared recently with new commissions from the [[Federal Navy|Navy]], but Rochester's grabbing hands are always reaching for something. He runs the departments that are loyal to him like they're his personal kingdom."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5fdce2f831b96f07913ef16b GalNet: Lakon Spaceways Faces Financial Collapse]</ref>
22 DEC 3306
*A coalition of [[Lakon Spaceways]] shareholders has voted to replace several members of the company's board of directors with new management. At an emergency general meeting, investors put forward a resolution to remove selected directors, in accordance with Lakon's articles of association. The majority vote was in favour of this resolution. New appointees to the board have already stated that the rejected bid by [[Federation|Federal]] shipbuilder [[Core Dynamics]] will be reappraised. [[Jupiter Rochester]], the corporation's CEO, has welcomed the opportunity for fresh discussions. Chairperson [[Naomi Landseer]], who is one of the directors being replaced, told [[Vox Galactica]]: "It's no coincidence that the board members being voted out are the same ones who were against Core Dynamics owning the company. I am convinced that Rochester's people are bribing or threatening our shareholders to make sure this hostile takeover goes through." Lakon Spaceways is currently offering a 30% [[Discounts|discount]] on sales of [[Asp Scout]]s, [[Diamondback Scout]]s, [[Keelback]]s, [[Type-7 Transporter]]s and [[Type-10 Defender]]s. Core Dynamics has applied a 30% markdown to sales of the [[Eagle MkII]] and the [[Vulture]], with a 20% discount for [[Federal Assault Ship]]s, [[Federal Dropship]]s and [[Federal Gunship]]s.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5fdcdb78f254bd52dd3fd7f4 GalNet: Investors Take Control of Lakon Spaceways]</ref>
