Overview[edit]
Protectorate Military Industries (PMI) was established in the thirty-second century by the Calderon Protectorate with the assistance of the Federated Suns and Republic of the Sphere[1] with engineers from both overseeing the construction of the first plant on Erod's Escape.[2] The supervising engineers were there to ensure that the war matériel manufactured was produced in limited quantities and in a responsible manner; the same two nations supervised the construction of a second facility on Tyrrhenia, which was still operating at least as late as 3145.[1][3]
By the mid-thirty-second century, the PMI facility on Erod's Escape was responsible for producing most of the armor in use with the Calderon Protectorate's military forces, although BattleMech production was limited primarily to a small number of designs. A notable success, PMI went on to open a satellite facility—this time funded entirely with Calderon Protectorate funding—on Belle Isle. This new facility specialized in the production of materials used in constructing advanced units and was up and running in 3142, with the lines expanding on 3144 to begin producing extralight fusion engines.[2]
