With the loss of their main facility on the Combine's [[Luthien|capital]] in [[3068]], [[Luthien Armor Works]] was caught between a government contract it could not refuse, yet could not fulfill due to lack of facilities, resulting in a surprising solution. Buying up a large volume of worn out 10-K ''[[Panther]]''s sent to [[Wakazashi Enterprises]] for refurbishment, LAW stripped each 'Mech down to its base [[endo steel]] skeleton and then contracted with [[StarCorps Industries]] of [[Son Hoa]] in the [[Lyran Alliance]] to share the cost of a new design, shipping some of these frames to StarCorps with the paired ER lasers mounted to outfit as they wished.
