Overview
J.B. BattleMechs Incorporated was created in 3053 by Jilliane Suliben, an entrepreneur whose family was killed during the Clan Invasion. Ms. Suliben purchased the molds and plans for the Chameleon training 'Mech from Defiance Industries, and refurbished an ancient production line on Storfors. The first production run of Chameleons was completed in 3056, and using the knowledge gained by retrofitting the line, J.B. BattleMechs began producing the Dragon Fire heavy 'Mech shortly thereafter.[1]
In the 3060's, the Federated Commonwealth government requested that J.B. BattleMechs work on the Red Devil Industries Pandora plant. Though Ms. Suliben was uncertain of this investment, the FedCom government promised loan guarantees, government orders, and a license for any and all 'Mechs produced at the facility. With those tempting offers, J.B. BattleMechs began overhauling the production lines on Pandora. Though Clan Jade Falcon took the world and the plant, rendering most of the investment a waste, the Lyran Alliance government came through on the contracts for production they had promised. Orders for 'Mechs that were originally to be produced at Pandora flooded into the Storfors plant. This increased demand has resulted in a hiring spree at J.B. BattleMechs, as the company works feverishly to meet the demand.[1]
