Cosby BattleMech and Myomer Research Firm
Sarna News
Originally a technology research firm dedicated to studying new Myomer applications, Cosby Myomer Research Firm - (Cosby BattleMech Research Firm)'s success with Triple Strength Myomer and Battle Armor construction has catapulted into being a full-fledged military manufacturer, with several high-profile contracts with the DCMS.
Overview
Working in close cooperation with the ill-famed 11th Legion of Vega which are known for it's ex-commander Theodore Kurita, regiment, which also had a very competent techs and even full-blown research and design team[1], the factory has received thorough this a considerable quantity of the advanced technologies and the technical decisions, which allowed to transform own new-tech Myomer technologies into mighty No-Dachi Heavy BattleMech, in a exchange for half of all produced mechs.[2]
By taking funding from the Coordinator, CBR choose to make another, non-tainted by association with the Legion of Vega, (like a No-Dachi), 'mech, more fitting for picky, honor-obsessed units of the DCMS. By acquiring through hostile takeover a manufacturing rights to the Crusader mech, they made a complete restyling of the ancient machine, with a good success - their new mechs found a place into Sword of Light and Ryuken regiments.
