Bulldog Enterprises was a weapons manufacturer in the Draconis Combine that specialized in producing combat vehicles.[2]

Overview

Control of Bulldog Enterprises was acquired by Buda Imperial Vehicles in early 3067. Buda's CEO Piram Germane opted to leave Bulldog relatively intact, merging only the two corporate distribution networks, with Buda gaining the benefits of Bulldog's robust R&D division while Bulldog benefited from Buda's superior corporate ratings within both the DCMS Bureau of Procurement and the Combine Ministry of the Interior.[2]

The Proserpina factory was noteworthy for its extensive static defenses. There were at least fifty weapon turrets within a kilometer of the main plant. Closer to the plant were multiple anti-aircraft missile batteries. To further impede invaders, the main approaches to the plant were lined with deadfall traps and anti-tank roadblocks.[3]
