Lucas Technologies was widely known as a small Terran Hegemony military manufacturer.

Overview

When it purchased a smaller defense contractor who created a process that improved the armor plating of all military vehicles. The improved armor quickly supplanted the Primitive Armor used by most military vehicles as Lucas licensed the technology to other Hegemony military contractors.

Lucas Technologies bid to gain a military contract for the Terran Hegemony's Armed forces. After years of development and proposals, the result their efforts would be the LTV-4 Hover Tank in 2464. The LTV series was the response as part of an effort to counter proliferation of BattleMech technologies stolen from the Hegemony. The vehicle was designed to swarm these early BattleMechs in groups and use their combined firepower to hold them until other forces could close and eliminate them. With some resistance from HAF Leadership, CEO Harrison Lucas focused his company's efforts into making a more compelling design. Results of the LTV-4's lighter, but stronger armor would ultimately herald a new age in armored combat and make Lucas a very rich man.

By 2470, Lucas Technologies merged with General Mechanics, forming one of the largest military contractors in the Terran Hegemony.
