Joint Equipment Systems was a military products manufacturer with branches in the Federated Suns, Ghost Bear Dominion, and Republic of the Sphere.

Overview[edit]

Joint Equipment Systems (JES) was founded on Alshain in the twenty-sixth century. When the Alshain plant was captured by Clan Ghost Bear during the Clan Invasion, the company's corporate headquarters was moved to Panpour, which remained under Federated Suns control. A restructuring of the Panpour's engine facilities kept the company financially afloat.[1] The Ghost Bears initially used the Alshain facility reluctantly at best,[3] but in 3063 starting refurbishing and expanding the facilities to help bridge the gaps between the Clan and Rasalhague people. By 3076, the new facilities had opened and the company's profits had tripled, and JES' executives moved the headquarters back to Alshain.[1]

During the Jihad, the Panpour facility suffered some minimal capital and personnel losses (around 10%), but by 3079 the factory's output was at 100%.[4] Meanwhile the Cartago plant, which produced fusion engines and other components,[5] had suffered losses of about 40% and had an operating capacity of 60%.[4] The Alshain facility suffered no personnel losses and was operating at full capacity in 3079.[6]

During the Dark Age, JES constructed a manufacturing facility on the world of Zebebelgenubi in the Republic of the Sphere; this satellite facility produced a range of state-of-the-art military and industrial support vehicles, including JES' line of missile transports.[7]
