The Draconis Combine-based Diverse Optics Inc. is one of the primary producers of laser weaponry and the leading manufacturer of Extended Range Lasers in the Inner Sphere.

Overview[edit]

While its headquarters and main plant is based on Kessel in the Draconis Combine, Diverse Optics' range of well-regarded laser products have been produced under license by manufacturers across the entire Inner Sphere for centuries.[1]

Lured by the Clan Invasion-fueled economic boom in the League and with support from Irian BattleMechs Unlimited, Diverse Optics established a satellite office on Irian in 3056. With the League's advances in laser technology and access to large volumes of Clan-tech salvage from the DCMS, the Irian branch cracked the secret of manufacturing IS-grade extended range medium and small lasers in 3058. While initially a cause for celebration, the League bureaucracy's attempt to block the Irian plant's efforts in 3060 to export the new systems to the Kessel plant almost triggered a diplomatic incident, only avoided by Diverse Optics' threat to shut down the Irian plant to protect its patents and pressure from League manufacturers seeking continued access to the weapons.[1]

Following negotiations with Outworlds Alliance President Mitchell Avellar, Diverse Optics Incorporated authorized a complete licensing arrangement with Lushann Industrials Limited, authorizing them the production of the Sunbeam ER large laser, some of DOI's pulse lasers (including the Magna series) and the Zippo plasma-based flamers.[2]
