'''Arc-Royal MechWorks''' is a BattleMech manufacturer on [[Arc-Royal]] for the [[Kell Hounds]] [[mercenary unit]].

==Overview==
 +
Like many minor [['Mech]] repair facilities, the Arc-Royal MechWorks, known as '''Eire MechWorks of Arc-Royal''' or '''Eire BattleMech Company of Arc-Royal''' until the late [[3050]]s, benefited from the return and increasing availability of [[Lostech]] to become a full BattleMech manufacturer, giving the Kell Hounds mercenary unit a level of self-sufficiency comparable to that enjoyed by [[Wolf's Dragoons]].<ref>''Field Manual: Mercenaries'', p. 64: "Available Force and Organization"</ref> The factory also benefited from the residence of [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile]] on Arc-Royal. Trade arrangements between the planet's [[Inner Sphere]] and [[Clan]] facilities ensured the supply of components that the other lacked. Most notably, Arc-Royal MechWorks receives [[Inner Sphere]]–grade [[Endo Steel]] from the [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile|Wolves-in-Exile]] mobile orbital factories.<ref name=H:HSp141/>

Unlike most Lyran arms manufacturers, such as [[Defiance Industries]] or [[Coventry Metal Works]], Arc-Royal MechWorks is a private holding of [[House Kell]] rather than being publicly traded.<ref name=H:HSp141/>

During the [[Jihad]] the factory lost 40% of its personnel and infrastructure. By [[3079]] it was producing at 80% of its pre-Jihad output.<ref>''Objectives: Lyran Alliance'', p. 3</ref> Apparently, the ''[[Verfolger]]'' line was among the 20% that was not repaired in 3079 as it was not listed among the models in production.<ref name=orla22/>

Product(s)

Arc-Royal MechWorks was a BattleMech manufacturer on Arc-Royal for the Kell Hounds mercenary unit.

Overview[edit]

Like many minor 'Mech repair facilities, the Arc-Royal MechWorks, known as Eire MechWorks of Arc-Royal or Eire BattleMech Company of Arc-Royal until the late 3050s, benefited from the return and increasing availability of Lostech to become a full BattleMech manufacturer, giving the Kell Hounds mercenary unit a level of self-sufficiency comparable to that enjoyed by Wolf's Dragoons.[2] The factory also benefited from the residence of Clan Wolf-in-Exile on Arc-Royal. Trade arrangements between the planet's Inner Sphere and Clan facilities ensured the supply of components that the other lacked. Most notably, Arc-Royal MechWorks receives Inner Sphere–grade Endo Steel from the Wolves-in-Exile mobile orbital factories.[1]

Unlike most Lyran arms manufacturers, such as Defiance Industries or Coventry Metal Works, Arc-Royal MechWorks is a private holding of House Kell rather than being publicly traded.[1]

During the Jihad, the factory lost 40% of its personnel and infrastructure. By 3079, it was producing at 80% of its pre-Jihad output.[3] Apparently, the Verfolger line was among the 20% that was not repaired in 3079 as it was not listed among the models in production.[4]

The fate of Arc-Royal MechWorks following the planet's capture and subsequent orbital bombardment by Clan Jade Falcon is currently unknown.

Manufacturing[edit]

Arc-Royal MechWorks has manufacturing centers on the following planets:

Notes[edit]

  • There are ambiguous references that seem to indicate that the Eire BattleMech Company of Arc-Royal used to build BattleMechs; in particular, in the short story Vanish Morgan Kell recalls watching BattleMechs walking off the line in his youth. Line Developer Herbert A. Beas II clarified in a canonical ruling[26] that Eire just produced "parts of nondescript use, but vital to maintaining operational 'Mech units," and that Morgan Kell just saw 'Mechs refurbished with parts walk from the site. No manufacture of full 'Mechs began on Arc-Royal until later.
