Overview
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 to retool their IndustrialMech production lines to produce RetroTech BattleMechs from the Age of War, designs such as the Ostwar and Ymir.[1]
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. The result was the SKU-197 Sokuryou, which began production in 3085 from factories on Togura and Philadelphia.[1]
