| The Foundation for European Anti-Gravity Research originally founded FEISAR as a replacement research institute, after their client AG Systems was acquired by Japanese interests. With Pierre Belmondo succeeding in making anti-gravity technology commercially viable in Japan, United Europe realised their fatal error in letting it slip through their fingers, and hastily filled the gap with FEISAR. In its very founding, they managed to convince many AG Systems technicians to return to Europe, but failed to convince Belmondo himself. | Before FEISAR, the Foundation for European Anti-Gravity Research - its parent entity - established [[teams:AG Systems]] as the commercial arm of anti-gravity research, with Pierre Belmondo as its head.

| The defining nature of FEISAR's business operation and racing developments hinged on the fact that their headquarters and management are split between twelve or more of the EU's most technologically and economically strong member nations, and primary operations are constantly in rotation and on the move, only remaining at one particular site for a maximum of three weeks at a time before contractual and diplomatic obligations force them to move to the next site. While often struggling with race results compared to the more high-risk-high-reward ships of their competitors, FEISAR's reputation of reliable and easily-operated ships made it an attractive entry point for many beginner pilots and even skilled pilots, and the popularity of the team grew to prove it as a firm fixture in the sport. After the collapse of the F9000, the financial strength of Europe's member states allowed FEISAR to weather the economic fallout and effortlessly make a comeback with the sport's revival for the FX300. | The defining nature of FEISAR's business operation and racing developments hinged on the fact that their headquarters and management are split between twelve or more of the EU's most technologically and economically strong member nations, and primary operations are constantly in rotation and on the move, only remaining at one particular site for a maximum of three weeks at a time before contractual and diplomatic obligations force them to move to the next site.
