The mammoth Hellespont Industrials was founded on July 17th, 2792. It is the single largest manufacturer of Combat Vehicles in the Capellan Confederation, in addition to being both one of the most advanced 'Mech production facilities and the primary producer of advanced armor types in the Liao state.[1]

Overview

Hellespont Industrials was at one time the second largest manufacturer of weapons in the Capellan Confederation, giving Earthwerks Ltd. strong competition for critical BattleMech production contracts. However, at the height of the Succession Wars, Marik and Kurita attacks all but wiped out this firm's 'Mech production capabilities. In an effort to avoid total ruin, Hellespont relocated its remaining factory workers and production equipment to the more easily defensible capital of the Confederation, Sian, settling on the production of less expensive and more easily constructable Combat Vehicles, becoming the single largest producer of such vehicles in the Capellan state. The company, however, never forgot its role and during the end of Third Succession War had again taken on 'Mech research and development, primarily the salvaging and improvement of captured 'Mechs but also the development of the Raven electronic warfare 'Mech.[1]

With the loss of yet further Capellan BattleMech production facilities during the Fourth Succession War and the technology boom brought about by the discovery of the Helm Memory Core, Hellespont received a large portion of the scant funds and resources available in the Confederation to expand its facilities and re-introduced advanced lostech. Just prior to the Clan Invasion, the company began production of a modernized Raven. After its success Hellespont used the the well-received and popular ECM 'Mech as the basis for new designs using Stealth Armor and modular Omni-Pod technology. Hellespont also produces a large portion of the advanced armor, chassis, and equipment used in other modern Liao 'Mech and vehicle designs.

Leadership

The CEO of Hellespont Industrials in 3076 is Mandrinn Alana Morgaine.[2] She has been the CEO for forty years. She is currently 89 years old, she's expected to step down and turn the company over to her nephew Aaron Morgaine when she turns 90.[3]
