Overview

Like Nimakachi and SelaSys, the interests of the Brigadier Corporation span the manufacture of BattleMechs and naval vessels, including work on the imposing Impavido-class WarShip. Their imposing Behemoth-class DropShips have long been prized as bulk haulers, but the smaller Fury, Buccaneer and Monarch-classes are more commonly seen across the Inner Sphere.[1]

Historically, Brigadier had its headquarters on Oliver, but legalities associated with the FedCom takeover of that world at the end of the Fourth Succession War led the company to relocate its business hub to Portent on Gibson, though the Gordon plant remained under Brigadier Corporation’s control despite the FedCom occupation. Just as the loss of Brigadier's 'Mech Factory set back Free Worlds League 'Mech production, the 'Mech producing side waned in power and the DropShip facilties came to dominate the corporation, with the headquarters remaining on Gibson even after the recovery of Oliver in Operation Guerrero.[1]

Brigadier's Gibson factory is actually a converted repair facility, upgraded with aid from the FWLM and later the Word of Blake. The changeover from repair to production was a success, and the plant is running smoothly though defense is complicated by a landing field with only makeshift defenses at the site. After the near complete take-over of Gibson during the Jihad by the Blakist's, the Gibson facility was renamed the Master's Wings Aerospace with the Monarch civilian DropShip line converted to the production of the Spectral Series OmniFighters [2][3] and LAMs. [4] [5] [6] Gibson was subjected to a massive orbital bombardment by Regulus forces in 3078. By 3085, the planet was listed as dead or dying. All factories on world is assumed destroyed.

Leadership

The company's CEO in 3067 is Salwa Hanachi.[1]
