Manufacturing Site 3 is a Clan manufacturing facility center located on the world of New Oslo.

Overview[edit]

Manufacturing Site 3 is a make-shift manufacturing center built by Clan Wolf. The factory complex was built on the gutted ruins of the old Gorton, Kingsley, and Thorpe Enterprises. During the Clan Invasion, the Free Rasalhague Republic had taken apart the factory and moved it to Satalice. The factory was noted for its giant Solar Furnace.

Clan Wolf constructed Site 3 for production of second-line light and medium BattleMechs, and remained so until the Jihad. During the Jihad, Clan Hell's Horses invaded Clan Wolf's Occupation Zone in 3071. The invasion was part of their relocation to the Inner Sphere. SaKhan Tanya DeLaurel devoted two Galaxies' worth of troops to liberate New Oslo for their own.

Site 3 was expanded by 3077, where it could produce Balius heavy OmniMech and other heavy 'Mech designs in limited numbers. Also produced by the factory during this time was the fixed-weapons version of the Nova OmniMech, which was has been named the Black Hawk.[1] This factory was the Horses' main BattleMech production facility in 3079.[2] During the Jihad the factory lost 20% of its personnel, and in 3079 it was operating at 90% of its maximum output.[3]
