Basantapur Fine Metals was a rare alloy and defense manufacturer within the Federated Suns.[2]

Overview[edit]

Basantapur specialized in the creation of rare alloys, most of which were used in military applications such as the internal framework of BattleMechs. As of 3025, the company operated many large foundries on the worlds of Basantapur and As Samik. While the company survived the Succession Wars with little damage, a long history of bad management prevented the firm from achieving its full potential. Over the years, the Federated Suns government thought about nationalizing the company, but each time this is considered, they realize that the solution would only cause more problems.[2]

After a disastrous 3026, Hanse Davion appointed a new management team made up of capable executives. By 3031, Basantapur was operating more effectively than it ever had before and returned record profits. Things went so well that Basantapur created a new subsidiary to exploit petroleum reserves and by 3040 they had purchased a small transportation company to move their products to clients in the Federated Suns, Lyran Commonwealth, and Free Worlds League. They maintained mining operations in scores of systems across the Federated Suns and the near Periphery.[1]

As of 3067, BFM had at least three divisions: Basantapur Mining, Basantapur Petroleum, and Semichi Consolidated Freight.[1]

With their local supply of germanium drying up, Basantapur began production of the Drake medium conventional fighter in order to diversify.[3] This followed on the heels of their experimental Drake variant, which used Modular Armor to provide additional protection.[4]

Manufacturing[edit]

Basantapur Fine Metals has a manufacturing center on the following planet:

Colorado[edit]

Note: During the Jihad, the facility on Colorado suffered minimal capital and personnel losses of 15%, and the operating capacity of the factory had a production volume of 85% in 3079.[5]
