Dalton Colabello (b.2858) is the founder and CEO of [Apocalypse Arms](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/V7gM1wXdWk-apocalypse-arms). Born on [Borea (Magnus III)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/R9vGaQPXJN-borea-magnus-ii) to a low-income family, Colabello joined his uncle's contracting company upon attaining his [Equivalency](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/Vgg7YGdQDY-equivalency). He broke off and founded his own construction business in 2884, eventually becoming a millionaire in 2887 when he renovated a series of warehouses on behalf of [Drake Interplanetary](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RLMm9KeZed-drake-interplanetary). In 2911, his antique weapon collecting hobby led him to a crate of ship weapon prototypes found on [Cestulus (Davien II)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0QlKaQ76a5-cestulus-davien-ii) with unknown origins. Captivated by their unique design and potential power, he began a long investigation that eventually led him to the great-granddaughter of [Juliet Maupin](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VarxxjKJe5-juliet-maupin), a former [Aegis Dynamics](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RAdk7jx5Kv-aegis-dynamics) engineer who had developed the armaments under contract from the [Messer](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/V8gJ6ZwGqo-messer-era) regime. Colabello purchased the original design documents and production rights from the family and used Maupin's work as the basis for a debut line of weapons for his new company Apocalypse Arms, founded in 2913.
