(References to Metals of the Earth)
Metals of the Earth is a mining and manufacturing company within the Draconis Combine[1] and the Free Rasalhague Republic.[2]
Company Profile
Home Office: Jassen, Nox
President/CEO: Marquis Unno Kitabake (Circa 3025)
Overview
Metals of the Earth can trace its origin back to the Star League era when it was a moderately sized mining company. One of its original founders was from the Kurita family and since then there has always been at least one Kurita family member on the Board of Directors. This connection to the leadership of the Draconis Combine guarantees that the company receives a majority of government contracts within Combine borders.
After several hundred years of operation and government largess, the company has expanded from mining into manufacturing mining equipment, creation of industrial chemicals and making synthetic materials, including myomers.[3]
After the Fourth Succession War led to the creation of the Free Rasalhague Republic, a subsidiary of Metals of the Earth operated within the borders of the new realm. Half of the production from this subsidiary was shipped to the Draconis Combine until the Clan Invasion.[2]
During the Jihad, Metals of the Earth operated a RetroTech factory on Bjarred that produced Gladiator BattleMechs. This factory shut down in 3079.[4]
