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.<ref name="hmps119">''Handbook: Major Periphery States'', p. 119</ref>

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 Weapons Industries. PPL builds the engines and several other parts used in the J. Edgar and Fulcrum hovercraft produced by this joint venture.<ref name="hmps119"/>

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.<ref>''Objective Raids'', p. 159, "Pinard Protectorates Limited"</ref> A fourth facility, once a part of PP Ltd, 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]]. 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. In late [[3076]], Pinard Protectorates Limited was teetering on the edge of bankruptcy and both [[Taurus Territorial Industries]] and [[Vandenberg Mechanized Industries]] began to consider acquiring PPL.<ref name=MMp189>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 189: "Corporations of the Concordat - [Pinard Protectorates Limited]"</ref>

A privately held company, Pinard Protectorates Limited received most of its contracts from the Taurian Concordat government but focused on the planetary militia level rather than the Taurian Defense Force.[1]

Overview[edit]

After its founding in 3020, small arms and personal armor are what allowed Pinard Protectorates Limited to expand. Though persistent rumors suggested that they produced the Rommel tank, this wasn'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 built the engines and several other parts used in the J. Edgar and Fulcrum hovercrafts produced by this joint venture.[1]

The Pinard Protectorate facilities on the water-world of Perdition consisted of three separate factories on miniature islands. The defenders had to use large, vulnerable air and sea transports to move reinforcements between factories, because traveling along the sea bottom by 'Mech was too slow to be practical for the distances involved.[3] A fourth facility, once a part of PPL, had 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. 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. In late 3076, Pinard Protectorates Limited was teetering on the edge of bankruptcy and both Taurus Territorial Industries and Vandenberg Mechanized Industries began to consider acquiring PPL.[4]

Manufacturing[edit]

Pinard Protectorates Limited has manufacturing centers on the following planets:

MacLeod's Land[edit]

These facilities were destroyed by Hansen's Roughriders in 3074.[4] By 3079, the remaining 10% of their workforce had returned to work, and the factory was operating at 20% of its maximum output.[5] Production of the Locust started in 3079, and Clint and Stinger 'Mechs were the company's next priorities.[6]

Perdition[edit]

Note: Two thirds of these production lines were destroyed by Longwood's Bluecoats in 3075.[4] Between the 3075 attack and subsequent raids by Word of Blake forces all of the industry on Perdition had been destroyed by 3081.[10][5]
