Maltex Corporation is a military manufacturer that produced equipment for the SLDF and AFFS.

Overview

Maltex Corporation produced some of the Star League's most effective BattleMechs. The Wyvern and Thug were both popular with pilots. Maltex also designed and introduced the Assassin class medium Mech but sold the design to Hellespont Mech Works.[1]

In 2835 Maltex main production line was destroyed. This left them in possession of several plans and documents but no way to produce them. To take advantage of this, Maltex partnered with several other manufacturers to produce their designs, including Hellespont and Earthwerks Incorporated[2]

The ISF used Maltex's status as a design house to confuse MIIO and DMI investigators about the Hatamoto-chi. By claiming that the design was a product of "Maltex Corporation", the ISF was able to focus attention away from the actual production lines. This initially led the intelligence agencies to believe that the Maltex Corporation had introduced a new factory on Nirasaki. This information was later discovered to be an error but by then Hatamoto-Chi production was in full swing.[3]
