Overview[edit]

Rim Motors was the main manufacturing center of the Rim Collection in 3079. During the Star League Era many production lines were established on Otisberg. After the Star League fell, these lines were shut down and eventually buried under the volcanic action of Otisberg. In the late 3060s the Rim Collection and Otisberg governments devoted a lot of time and effort to excavating the production lines. By 3079 they had located several production lines and restored them to operational status.[citation needed]

Following the Jihad Meridian Manufacturing sought a trade agreement with Rim Motors to expand its RetroTech capabilties, but by 3085 no progress towards a deal had been made.[2] Sometime after 3085, Rim Motors was able to expand their production lines. This allowed them to produce more 'Mechs than the Commandos that had been their primary design.[3]
