Tasked by the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] with reverse engineering the technological advantage of the Clan invaders' fearsome [[OmniMech]]s, [[Luthien Armor Works]] (LAW) eventually succeeded and constructed the top secret '''Luthien Armor Works - OmniMech Production Facility''' to produce their designs.
 
  
 
==Overview==
 
==Overview==
The DCMS' victory on [[Wolcott]] provided the [[Draconis Combine]] with pristine examples of the [[Clans]]' advanced military technology, and as the premier [[BattleMech]] manufacturer in the Combine and with its location on the capital world of [[Luthien]], LAW was the obvious choice to reverse engineer the advanced technology for the Dragon.<ref name=JTP:Lp5>''Jihad Turning Points: Luthien'', p. 5: "Luthien"</ref> While unable to match the material advances of the invaders' hardware, LAW quickly realized the [[OmniPod]] technology was within their reach. The later [[Battle of Luthien (3052)|Clan assault on Luthien]] turned out to be a mixed blessing: while Clan forces succeeded in damaging the existing LAW facilities and crippling production, they left behind a treasure trove of [[OmniMech]]s to study and help kick-start the development and production of further [[Inner Sphere]] designs. Using extensive funding from the government, LAW rebuilt and expanded their existing facilities, while constructing a top secret facility for the development and construction of OmniMechs.

Located mere kilometers from the center of [[Imperial City]], the LAW OmniMech Production Facility was centrally located on [[Guthry Island]], a manmade island on the [[Unity Plateau]]. Part of the greater industriplex that comprises the company's headquarters and [[LAW City]], the facility had both surface and subsurface structures that were largely responsible for the system's overall economic output and employment of millions.<ref name=JTP:Lp5/>
+
While a number of LAW's OmniMech designs have been sub-licensed to other manufacturers, the LAW OmniMech wing had both the highest output of all Combine-derived OmniMech production. Like most LAW facilities, the original OmniMech wing was destroyed during the [[Jihad]].<ref name=MM24>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 24, "says this facility was totally destroyed".</ref>
  
While a number of LAW's OmniMech designs had been sublicensed to other manufacturers, the LAW OmniMech wing had both the highest output of all Combine-derived OmniMech production. Like most LAW facilities, the original OmniMech wing was destroyed during the [[Jihad]]—in January [[3068]], by the [[Black Dragon Society|Black Dragons]].<ref name=MM24>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 24: "Corporations of the Combine - [Luthien Armor Works]"</ref>
