'''Praxton Fusion Products Limited''' was a key manufacturer of [[fusion engine]]s.
 
  
 
==Overview==
 
==Overview==
At one point, Praxton Fusion had been the [[Outworlds Alliance]]'s only engine producer for their homegrown [['Mech]]s and [[aerospace fighter]]s.<ref name=H:MPSp144>''Handbook: Major Periphery States'', p. 144: "Praxton Fusion Products"</ref> As Praxton's products were so important to the Alliance, there was a standing order that the planet would never be undefended. Though the planet was attacked by several mercenary and pirate bands at the start of the [[Jihad]], it wasn't attacked by the [[Word of Blake]]-sponsored terrorist groups like the [[United Outworlders Corporation]]. To assist other Alliance planets ravaged by the Jihad, Praxton voluntarily diverted some of its profits to fund reconstruction efforts.<ref name=M&MTSDp164>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', pp. 163–164: "Praxton Fusion Products"</ref>

==Notes==
The Nissan 245 fusion engine is likely in error, given the history of this particular entry: In the old (unrevised) ''[[Technical Readout: 3026]]'', the  [[Hunter (Combat Vehicle)|Hunter]] tank was erroneously listed to have a "Magna 245" engine, while the stats actually called for a class 175 engine; in the ''[[Technical Readout: 3026 Revised]]'', the Hunter is described to have a "175 Magna 245 Fusion" Power Plant in the text, while the stat page clearly states that it has a class 175 engine. Although no official ruling was made on the issue (other than that the entry should be taken "with a grain of salt," according to the assistant line developer), one author said that the wrong engine rating was likely missed in fact-checking and carried over to ''[[Objective Raids]]'' when it was compiled, and is the reason why the factory was (erroneously) written to produce a class 245 engine for the Hunter.<ref>In [http://www.classicbattletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=68666.0 "Question regarding Nissan 245 errata..."] (dead link) thread on the [[CBT forum]]</ref>

From the wording of the text, it could be assumed that "Nissan 245" is in fact the brand name for the class 175 fusion engine produced here.
