The Lopez-based corporation Magna Metals Inc was notable for manufacturing power plants in both the Free Worlds League and the Taurian Concordat.

Overview[edit]

The corporate branch on Lopez was dedicated to the manufacture of weapons. In the 3050s, Magna Metals was noted for development of both the extended range and pulse version of laser weaponry. It also went on to develop the Extended Range PPC.[1]

The company's Taurian operations were unusual. In contrary to the operational procedures of many other plants, the Concordat produces its massive DropShip engines at one plant and distributes them to several shipyards for assembly, rather than building an assembly plant at the same site where the drives are built.[1]

In the mid-3060s after its new CEO took over the company, the company opened other Drive-manufacturing plants on Regulus and Stewart.[1]

During the Jihad, the Taurus plant didn't lose any personnel to the Word of Blake and Federated Suns assaults. In 3079, the plant was operating at 5% below its maximum output.[2] The Lopez facility also took no damage during the Jihad and was operating at maximum production in 3079.[3]
