For many years BBP Industries was the only manufacturer of 'Mech carrying DropShips in the Draconis Combine.[1] They lost this unique status when Matabushi Incorporated started producing Overlord- and Union-class DropShips.[2]

During the Clan Invasion time period, they expanded their offerings to include several other DropShips and Space Stations.

Manufacturing[edit]

BBP Industries has manufacturing centers on the following planets:

Luthien[edit]

Note: During the Jihad the Luthien factory suffered greatly losing 95% of its workforce and capital. In 3079, after several years of rebuilding, the factory was only at 5% of its pre-Jihad output.[3] The Combine continued to repair the BBP Industries facilities on Luthien, and by mid-3081 it was estimated that the factories were within three months of being back to full production capacity.[4]

Components produced on Luthien:[5]
Component Type
Small Craft
K-1 DropShuttle[citation needed] Small Craft
DropShips
Excalibur[1][5][6] DropShip
Intruder[1] DropShip
Nekohono'o[5] DropShip
Okinawa[7][5] DropShip
Rose[5] DropShip
Triumph[1][6] DropShip
Space Station
BattleSat[8] Space Stations
Interplanetary Drive - Small Craft
Pratt & Whitney 400 [citation needed]
Interplanetary Drive - DropShips
Delano 1070 Triumph[1]
GE 2080 Excalibur[1]
GE 2080-II [citation needed]
Movem-XL Drive Intruder[1]
? (for Okinawa) [citation needed]

New Samarkand[edit]

During the Jihad BBP Industries opened an additional facility in the New Samarkand system. It was speculated as early as 3079 that the New Samarkand site was actually to be a repair and refit yard instead of a production plant,[9] and the Combine had managed to keep the purpose of the site a mystery to external observes at least as late as mid-3081.[10]

Components produced on New Samarkand:[11]
Component Type
DropShip
Nekohono'o HQ[11] DropShip
