A privately held company, Pinard Protectorates Limited was founded in 3020. Most of it's contracts come from the Taurian Concordat government, but focus on the planetary militia level rather than the TDF level. Small arms and personal armor are what allowed PPL to expand after incorporating, and they've never forgotten it.[1]

Overview

Though persistent rumors suggest that Pinard Protectorates Limited produces the Rommel tank, this isn't correct. The company was briefly merged with the Alphard Trading Corporation, which led to a joint venture with ATC and Kali-Yama Industries. PPL builds the engines and several other parts used in the J. Edgar and Fulcrum hovercraft produced by this joint venture.[1]

The Pinard Protectorate facilities on the water-world of Perdition consist of three separate factories on miniature islands. The defenders here must use large, vulnerable air and sea transports to move reinforcements between factories, because traveling along the sea bottom by 'Mech is too slow to be practical for the distances involved.[2] A fourth facility, once a part of PPL, has resumed independent operations as the Taurian branch of Alphard Trading Corporation.

Hansen's Roughriders destroyed all the manufacturing facilities on MacLeod's Land in 3074.[3] The company gambled by trying to expand the Perdition facility, but in July of 3075 two-thirds of those production lines were destroyed by Longwood's Bluecoats as they turned traitor and joined the Roughriders' attack on pro-Taurian facilities.[3] In late 3076 Pinard Protectorates Limited was teetering on the edge of bankruptcy and both Taurus Territorial Industries and Vandenburg Mechanized Industries began to consider acquiring PPL.[3]

The CEO of Pinard Protectorates Limited is Linus MacLeod.

Manufacturing

Pinard Protectorates Limited has manufacturing centers on the following planets:

MacLeod's Land

Note: These facilities were destroyed by Hansen's Roughriders in 3074.[3] By 3079, the remaining 10% of their workforce had returned to work, and the factory was operating at 20% of its maximum output.[4] Production of the Locust started in 3079, and Clint and Stinger 'Mechs were the company's next priorities.[5]
