Located in [[Ith (city)|Ith]], on the [[Brunswick]] continent of [[New Avalon]], Achernar has a long history of designing BattleMechs for the [[Federated Suns]] and was one of the first companies to produce the first [[BattleMechs]] for the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] during the [[Age of War]].<ref name=JTPNA3-4>''Jihad Turning Points: New Avalon'', pp. 3–4: "New Avalon" (map)</ref> While somewhat overshadowed by the massive production capabilities of [[Corean Enterprises]]'s fully automated plant during the technological decline of the [[Succession Wars era]], Achernar produces many iconic Davion 'Mech designs which ensures that it plays an important part in shaping and supplying the Davion military.<ref name=HD(TFS)p152>''House Davion (The Federated Suns)'', p. 152: "Weapons Industries - [Achernar BattleMechs]"</ref>

During the [[Jihad]], and before the various Battles for [[New Avalon]], [[Marshal of the Armies]] [[Jackson Davion]] forced Achernar BattleMechs to shut down their surface production lines. He also planted false information in the Word of Blake camps which indicating that the main underground facility, [[Albion Advanced Technologies and Products | Albion Advanced Technologies]], had been destroyed by orbital bombardment. This led the Blakists to believe that Achernar was no longer a viable military threat or a source of parts, so they ignored the company in their attacks. In reality, the underground plant produced weapons, ammunition, parts, and replacement battlesuits for the [[AFFS]] throughout the campaign.<ref>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 42: "Achernar BattleMechs Profile"</ref>

After the [[Jihad]], Achernar's BattleMech plant on New Avalon restored only four of its eight production lines which slowly began producing new ''[[Dervish]]'', ''[[Enforcer III]]'', ''[[Hammerhands]]'', and ''[[BattleAxe]]'' 'Mechs. The ''[[Osiris]]'' was the next design requested by the [[AFFS]],<ref name=obfs18>''Objectives: Federated Suns'', p. 18</ref> but given that 95% of Achernar's production lines were either moved or damaged, with the company sustaining similar losses in personnel, it was lucky to be providing 10% of its pre-Jihad output.<ref name=obfs4>''Objectives: Federated Suns'', p. 4</ref> Achernar would later be one of a number of companies to benefit from the Castle Avalon reconstruction plan implemented by Princess-Regent [[Yvonne Steiner-Davion]] in the wake of the Jihad. By mid-[[3081]] reconstruction efforts were proceeding rapidly and it was anticipated that the plant would be back to full production by the middle of the decade.<ref name="J:FRp97">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 97: "Crucis March"</ref>
