In the war's early stages, Icarus refitted Task Force 1 in Oceania to improve their service lifetimes, preventing them from taking part in the war. The facility was raided by Sicario during the Cascadian Conflict, however, and several scientists were detained and the SP-34R destroyed in a dogfight, though the PW-Mk.I was able to reach Sawaiiki and was completed in the Federation Core States. Over a century later circa AC 429, it acquired Harkema Industrial Park in the Scarred Sea following a tax scandal and developed the SP-34R and PW-Mk.I prototype fighters as part of the Project Wingman program. Icarus Armories was established from or by Iccirus Holdings LTD in AC 321, approximately a decade before the birth of the Federation in AC 332, after which it was nationalized.

Icarus is not shy of recruiting mercenaries, as evidenced by Klara Rask serving as a test pilot. Icarus' other projects include cordium-powered railguns. One example is the Super Taurus land battleship, described as an 'impractical abomination' despite its immense firepower. These projects ensure the Federation maintains its lead in military tech. Its developments are described as based on 'mad scientists' theories and dreams', and even though a lot of these projects end up aborted by Icarus researchers, they are still responsible for numerous hi-spec weapon and plane designs.

As a weapons company possibly a step more important than Magansk Aeronautical Design Bureau or Henderson Corporation, Icarus Armories aims to advance Federation technology for military dominance.
