Independence Weaponry is a BattleMech manufacturer on the Draconis Combine world of Quentin.

Overview
Located in the heavily industrialized Steel Valley on Quentin, Independence Weaponry was a BattleMech factory for the Star League Defense Force's Regular Army and after the League's collapse the plant fell prey to bitter fighting between the Draconis Combine, Capellan Confederation and Federated Suns for control of it. House Davion established what appeared to be permanent control over the planet and its now the partially destroyed assembly lines towards the end of the Second Succession War.
Becoming the FedSun's premier Heavy and Assault Class manufacturer, the plant came under continuous raids from Kurita and Liao forces, slowly reducing production to half their pre-war levels, producing around twenty Marauders and Victors and a mere five Atlass per year. The alliance with the Lyran Commonwealth resulted in assistance from Defiance Industries to help bolster production of factory and the 100-ton monster 'Mech specifically. [1]
Benefiting from the respite after the Fourth Succession War, Independence was finally able to repair and reopen its battered assembly lines and House Davion made plans for advanced lostech upgrades. This hard work became bittersweet when Quentin fell to the DCMS's Operation Orochi in the War of 3039, the capture of the plant greatly benefiting the Combine's efforts to rebuild and modernize its military. Located far from the fighting of the Clan Invasion and with increasingly good relations between the Combine and the Federated Commonwealth, Independence became a production powerhouse, increasing to levels not seen since the original Star League.
