History Overview
Blue Shot Weapons was a manufacturing concern in the Lyran Commonwealth for many years before its main factories on Solaris were destroyed by Free Worlds League troops in 2928.[1] 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-3050's via these investments.[1]
Though the Solaris line was producing Lynx BattleMechs by 3056, Gualtiero Marino, the owner 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.[1]
