Overview
An old mothballed Star League Factory refurbished thanks to heavy investment from the Capellan State and the technical expertise of the Word of Blake, Shengli Arms has quickly become one of the largest manufacturing centers in the Confederation. Initially, technicians struggled to get all the applicable production lines online, and thus had to rely on imported equipment which was often of an inferior quality or sporadically acquired, neither of which was acceptable to a manufacturing concern. Production of ER Medium Lasers suffered so many setbacks that the Word of Blake had to completely rebuild the manufacturing line from the ground up using plans purchased from the Free Worlds League. With the new production line implemented and both StarCorps & Hellespont ’Mechworks licensing the design for production at their plants as well, there is no longer a shortage of extended range Diverse Optics lasers in the Confederation.[citation needed]
Attempting to build its own independent security force to try and avoid another Case JULIET style raid, the company chose to suspend its efforts when Chancellor Sun-Tzu Liao made the fateful decision to assign the battered remains of Olson's Rangers mercenary unit to help garrison the plant. Having suffered heavy losses during a failed attempt to take Acamar for the Confederation in 3066, the already debt ridden Rangers were forced to rely heavily upon Shengli and the Confederation to rebuild, leading many cynics to suggest the Chancellor's posting was an effort to force the Rangers into a "Company Store" scheme to become that force. [1]
This decision would backfire disastrously in December 3068 when the Ranger turned their guns against Shengli without warning, inflicting significant damage and crippling the company's production lines before they were finally dislodged by fellow garrison unit Sung's Rangers and forced to flee off-world.
