Glest Durnham
Glest Durnham is the current Glest of Generic Constructions. He steered the company away from ship production to focus all company resources on research. After a few major breakthroughs in software development, he decided to forfeit all other research branches and Generic Constructions became the leading software and subroutine developer in the universe. With the release of GC Galaxy Quest, Durnham decided to open up a cartographic department as well. It has numerous prestigious projects to claim for, such as the free high resolution universe maps, as well as the Gate Network Maps. One important aspect of Durnham's policy was and is to provide all company software for free to the general public. Only specially commissioned projects are to be charged for.
Initially, Durnham aligned Generic Constructions with Fleet Labs. When Fleet Labs dissolved Durnham suffered a personal crisis and relinquished command. The Klingon Gur'll took over as Glest and aligned the company with the Klingon Empire. Later during the KE - CRL war several important GC research planets were bombed and valuable data was lost, though no lifes were lost in the bombing. After an independent inquiry, Gur'll had no choice but to step down as Glest. Popular demand persuaded Durnham to return to office.
