Overview
Eris Enterprises is a military manufacturer that produced BattleMechs during the thirty-second century. Eris Enterprises is best known for the Jackalope, a new reconnaissance 'Mech designed by Eris Enterprises in partnership with another 'Mech manufacturer, Victory Conditions Industries. Both Eris Enterprises and Victory Conditions Industries manufactured the Jackalope, VCI from their plant on Mizar, and Eris Enterprises from a plant on [[Capolla].[1] The Jackalope was the subject of a "Tech Watch" report on LinkNet in February 3136, showcasing the 'Mech and providing quotes from the manufacturers. The Jackalope described by Tech Watch was designated the JLP-KA-L, but the described technical elements of the JLP-KA-L - a 240 XL Victory fusion engine, eight Dynamo jump jets, two Conquest Extended Range Medium Lasers, an ATM-6 missile system and a Clean Sweep anti-missile system backed up by an advanced probe system and 81% armor coverage - match the main JLP-BD variant. Tech Watch credited the Eris Enterprises design group with the design of the Jackalope's legs, stating that it was designed specifically with DropShip transport in mind, and that the design of the legs allows the Jackalope to fold itself into a compact bundle, allowing for additional supplies to be packed into the DropShip as a result. Tech Watch also described additional variants of the Jackalope in passing as sacrificing armor to gain even greater speed than the original variant, presumably referring to the JLP-KA model.[2]
Manufacturing
Eris Enterprises has a manufacturing center on the following planet:
| Components produced on Capolla:[1][2] | |
|---|---|
| Component | Type |
| BattleMechs | |
| JLP-BD Jackalope[1][2] | Light BattleMech |
| JLP-KA Jackalope[1][2] | Light BattleMech |
Notes
The production of the JLP-BD and JLP-KA variants is implied, but not explicitly stated, by Dark Age: LinkNet Articles (3136); no mention is made of the third variant of the Jackalope known to have been in service by 3135.
