Overview
Another once-prosperous manufacturer almost bankrupted by the Succession Wars, Hollis Incorporated produced such iconic Assault 'Mechs as the BattleMaster and the Highlander until a House Marik raid during the Second Succession War destroyed much of the factory. Hollis Incorporated had only barely begun to recover and was about to begin production of their first new BattleMech design in well over three-hundred years when forces of the CCAF overran Corey during Operation Guerrero. Hardly surprised by the turn of events, Hollis' Board of Directors had remained loyal to the Celestial Throne ever since the Fourth Succession War, paying lip service to the Archon-Prince only to take advantage of military subsidies Hollis Inc used to rebuild their facilities.[citation needed]
Shortly after falling under Capellan control, Hollis began producing the Huron Warrior.[1]
Hollis found itself booming during the Jihad, with the production facility on Corey serving as the closest major supplier to the front line between the Word of Blake Protectorate and the Confederation. The plants on Corey expanded, adding new production lines, only to then be hit by a raiding party of Blakist forces after the fall of Terra. Hollis was lucky that the mercenary unit the Hexare Grenadiers were undergoing repair and refit on Corey at the time - the Grenadiers were able to drive the Blakists off before the plant could be completely destroyed, but the extent of the damage hadn't been clarified as at mid-3081.[2]
In 3125 the Corey plant was raided by elements of the 8th Free Worlds Legionnaires. They seized tons of replacement parts for Catapult 'Mechs before leaving the world.[3]
Leadership
The companies CEO in 3067 is Lord Jason Hollis. The board of directors has to occasionally reign him in as his determination to return Hollis to glory sometimes leads him to wild schemes.[1]
Manufacturing
Hollis Incorporated has manufacturing centers on the following planets:
Corey
Note: The Catapult production facility was destroyed in 2791.[4] By 3079 however, this production line was back in operation.[5]
As at 3079 the Corey Plant had suffered no losses during the Jihad, and was operating at 100% capacity.[6]
Sometime in 3081, Hollis Incorporated reintroduced the Battlemaster to their Corey production line.[7] It is unknown whether this was an expansion or a replacement for an existing line.
Tsinghai
During the Jihad, Hollis operated a RetroTech factory on Tsinghai. By 3079 this factory had been shut down and resources moved to Corey.[11]
