Technicron Manufacturing is one of the medium sized military hardware manufacturers in the Free Worlds League, producing both a smattering of BattleMechs as well as JumpShips and WarShips for the FWLM.
Overview
While noted primarily for production of the Invader-class JumpShip at their Tamarind based shipyard, the company's ground based facilities on Savannah have become famous for the design and production of the Quickdraw and Awesome BattleMechs. Technicron was relatively lucky and avoided complete destruction during the Succession Wars. The recovery of lostech has greatly benefited the company, while their orbital facility would seem to make them a natural for the production of Endo Steel, instead they championed re-introducing the XL Engine and retooled their BattleMech production lines to use advanced equipment.[1][2]
However those upgrades pale in comparison to injection of funds and technical knowledge to retool part of the Tamarind shipyards to produce WarShips, with Technicron serving as the production site for the Impavido-class destroyer, the first post-Succession War era WarShip design produced by the League.[2]
