Alliance Defenders Limited is a military hardware manufacturer in the Outworlds Alliance.
Overview
Alliance Defenders Limited (ADL) was the first and largest producer of weapons and equipment for ground based warfare in the Outworlds Alliance.[1] It was founded as a result of funding investments made by the Terran Hegemony which envisioned ADL as the means for easing logistical problems involved in replacing equipment lost in the field by the Star League Defense Force Eighteenth Army.[2] ADL began it operation in the 2730's[2] and has provided 'Mechs to the Alliance Military Corps ever since.[1]
Output from ADL facilities grew steadily between their opening in the 2730's and April of 2765.[2] During the Star League era, ADL specialized in the production of three light 'Mech designs; the Locust, the Stinger, and the Wasp, many of which were equipped with the advanced laser systems manufactured by Lushann Industrials Limited. At least two of these designs, the Locust and the Stinger, were procured by Emma Jacobs (the first CEO of ADL) by bribing pirate bands to acquire their designs from the Federated Suns.[3]
In 3067, ADL expanded its production to include the Rommel and Po heavy tanks.
ADL suffered some minor damage in 3071 as the Jihad began, but nothing significant enough to mention. They were operating at full production capacity in 3079.[4]
