==Overview==
Eschewing military production, Avanti Industries focused on producing luxury vehicles for the nobility and corporate elite of the [[Lyran Commonwealth]]. Founded during the [[Star League era]] by the GioAvantis of [[Canonbie]], a wealthy merchant family with roots stretching back to the central European region of [[Terra]], the conglomerate avoided becoming a target during the [[Succession Wars era|Succession Wars]] by focusing almost entirely on civilian production. Avanti first aimed their products at the wealthiest and highest ranked customers of the Lyran nation and would later conduct sales across the rest of the [[Inner Sphere]].<ref name=H:HSp135/>

During the [[Federated Commonwealth]] era Avanti Industries were competitors to a number of companies based in the Federated Suns; one such competitor, [[Aston-Martin]], a luxury vehicle manufacturer based on [[Numenor]], saw their market share eroded by robust Avanti sales. In particular, Aston-Martin lost their share of the [[New Avalon]] market completely, as sycophants preferred to buy Avanti-manufactured hovercars in an attempt to curry favor with the [[Archon]]. In the aftermath of the [[FedCom Civil War]], Aston-Martin was quick to begin advertising campaigns based on their latest vehicles in an effort to recapture the market share taken by Avanti.<ref name="TRO:VArp12">''Technical Readout: Vechicle Annex Revised'', p. 12: "Aston-Martin Fiver Series"</ref>
