Overview

Spread across three worlds, Brooks Incorporated is best known for the Galleon light tank but has also developed several other light combat vehicles such as the Harasser hovertank and the forthcoming Bulwark assault vehicle. Components are the largest part of Brooks' business, especially the StarSlab armor commonly employed on League 'Mechs (most often as a field upgrade rather than as part of a new build) and exported to the Magistracy of Canopus and Taurian Concordat. CEO Meschini is a distant relative of Duchess Humphreys and is a regular guest at official functions. He has so far attempted to remain aloof from the friction between Andurien and Atreus, spending much of his time on Irian or Kendall.[1]

Leadership

The companies CEO in 3067 of Brooks Inc. is Walter Meschini.[1]
