==Overview==
+
Founded by [[FWLM MechWarrior]] [[Angus Gilmour]] in [[3023]], '''Gilmour MilTech''' began as a maintenance contractor for [[Talitha]]'s planetary militia, but soon expanded into custom rebuilding and equipment reconditioning, mainly to support mercenary concerns. The company weathered the storms of the [[FedCom]] occupation and became a major supplier to the [[AFFC]], as well as maintaining links to the [[FWLM]] via what were officially mercenary contracts.

Returned to League sovereignty after [[Operation GUERRERO]], Gilmour built up strategic partnerships with a number of companies, including [[Hollings-Dupre, Ltd]]. Subsequently, the company began to manufacture new designs, including the [[Cronus|CNS-5M ''Cronus'']], an upgrade of the older homegrown CNS-3M model that originally emerged from Gilmour's lines during the [[Fourth Succession War]]. The company has yet to diversify further; most of its resources remain committed to maintenance contracts and rebuilding battlefield wreckage, but Angus Gilmour has stated his intent to release a new [[BattleMech]] design, possibly by [[3068]].<ref name=HBHMp130/>

Still a smaller-scale manufacturer even with this expansion, as the [[Word of Blake]] [[Jihad]] erupted Gilmour greatly benefited from the increasing demand for military hardware from those cut-off from buying from the larger manufacturers and the distribution of the [[Hegemony Memory Core]], entering into "[[RetroTech]]" production to meet the demand. Already manufacturing from the less well-regard [[Word of Blake Protectorate Militia]], after Talitha's acceptance into the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]] the company was expected to switch almost entirely to sales to the [[Word of Blake Militia]] and Protectorate Guard. <ref name=JSTBD-47>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 47: "Around the Sphere -  "Sharing the Love"</ref>
