−	==Overview==
−	'''Blue Shot Weapons''' was a manufacturing concern in the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] for centuries before its original factories on [[Solaris]] were destroyed by [[Free Worlds League]] troops in [[2928]]. During the [[Clan Invasion]], the [[Federated Commonwealth]] invested heavily in additional weapons manufacturing centers in order to get as many 'Mechs and tanks on the field as possible. Blue Shot Weapons' Solaris lines were reopened in the mid-3050s via these investments.<ref name=H:HSp142/>
−	Though the Solaris line was producing ''Lynx'' BattleMechs by [[3056]], [[Gualtiero Marino]], the CEO of Blue Shot, made several agreements with other manufacturers on Loxley, Midway, and Kathil. These agreements saw licenses for Blue Shot 'Mech designs given to these facilities in exchange for capital investments and production partnerships. Blue Shot's three BattleMech lines have been running continuously ever since.<ref name=H:HSp142/>	+	==History==
