Working on construction sites for years at a time, the ''Kiso'' was an immensely capable construction tool and was seen on worlds across the Combine, including the capital, [[Luthien]]. The First Succession War halted production of the ''Kiso''; the three main Osaka plants and company headquarters on Arlington were all destroyed during the conflict, and with them went the technology and understanding needed to produce the advanced command consoles and communication suites that were an essential part of the ''Kiso's'' role and the company foundered.<ref name="TRO3075p210">''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 210, "K-3N-KR4 Kiso"</ref> <ref name=HHK-165/>+ '''Osaka Heavy Metrics''' was a secondary military supplier to the [[Draconis Combine]] of long-standing prior to the [[Jihad]]. Osaka were developing the [[Sokuryou]] as a design concept prior to the eruption of the Jihad, but this development work was soon on hold as the Combine found itself beseiged inside and out. By the mid-3070s the [[DCMS]] was becoming critically short of military materiel, and the industrial losses suffered thrust second-tier suppliers like Osaka squarely into the limelight. Osaka responded to the Dragon's need by quickly adapting to the use of [[Category:Primitive Technology|Primitive Technlogy]] to retool their [[IndustrialMech]] production lines to produce [[RetroTech]] [[BattleMech]]s from the [[Age of War]], designs such as the ''[[Ostwar]]'' and ''[[Ymir]]''.<ref name="TRO:3085Sp34">''Technical Readout: 3085 Supplemental'', p. 34, "SKU-197 Sokuryou SurveyMech"</ref> − Following the loss of its most popular product, Osaka Heavy Metrics focused on heavy construction tools and materials as well producing other cheaper and less complex IndustrialMechs and WorkMechs such as the ''[[Herdsman]]'' for various industries. As with many companies hampered by the [[Inner Sphere]]'s slide into [[LosTech]], Osaka's fortunes improved with the discovery and dissemination of the [[Helm Memory Core]] which included several technical specifications for the ''Kiso'''s manufacturing line, the company able to resume production of the now revamped design at its four production site on [[Dieron]], [[New Samarkand]], [[Philadelphia]] and [[Togura]] in time for Osaka Heavy Metrics five-hundredth anniversary in [[3070]].<ref name="TRO3075p210"/> <ref name=HHK-165/>+ The production contracts to produce these RetroTech designs was cancelled as the Jihad drew to a close, but by this point Osaka Heavy Metrics had proved itself to be a viable and reliable supplier to the DCMS. Osaka became one of many companies to benefit from a determination on the part of the Combine that the military industrial basis of the realm should expand beyond the long-standing core based around [[Luthien Armor Works]], and was one of many small construction firms to receive contracts for work. In the case of Osaka, the contract was for a durable recon platform, which was sorely needed to plug the shortfall in reconnaissance assets within the DCMS while major 'Mech producers continued to focus on heavy designs to rebuild the shattered DCMS line units.
