==Overview==
In the same class as [[Defiance Industries]], Coventry Metal Works was more than a major 'Mech producer. Coventry is also known for its superior missile systems, which are fitted on vehicles produced by many other Alliance firms.<ref>''Objective Raids'', p. 80, "Coventry Metal Works Profile"</ref>

Unlike [[Defiance Industries]] which focuses primarily on the heavy and assault designs much loved by the [[LCAF]] hierarchy, Coventry has generally produced lighter and medium designs. One area that Coventry is ahead of Defiance in is the production of [[OmniMech]]s. Stemming from a seemingly dubious offer of a manufacturing license to the niche ''Firestarter'' to [[Luthien Armor Works]] during the [[Clan Invasion]], Coventry received the Omni version in return. Using this as a basis, ''Coventry'' has signed agreements to produce other [[Draconis Combine]] OmniMech designs as well utilizing their experience in building them to produce the first homegrown Lyran OmniMech, the ''Hauptmann''.<ref name=HBHS142>''Handbook: House Steiner'', p. 142, "Coventry Metal Works Profile"</ref>

==History==
Coventry Defense Conglomerate was one of the Commonwealth's original two BattleMech factories,<ref>''Handbook: House Steiner'', p. 19</ref> producing copies of the [[Terran Hegemony]]'s ''[[Mackie]]''. The company soon branched out into producing their own designs, such as the ''[[Ymir]]'',<ref>''Technical Readout: 3075'', pp. 280-281</ref> and the design that would eventually become its flagship, the ''[[Commando]]''.<ref name=XTROP3>''XTRO: Primitives, Vol. 1'', p. 3: COM-1A ''Commando</ref> In [[2461]], Coventry Metal Works (then still using its original name, Coventry Defense Conglomerate)<ref name=XTROP3/> was the site of a [[Draconis Combine]] raid that secured the designs for BattleMechs, giving [[House Kurita]] the technology that for a brief period of time was giving [[House Steiner]] a great advantage in combat.<ref name="HKp35">''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 35, "Battles in the Age of War"</ref><ref name=HSLC>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 19 "Lyran Military Superiority"</ref>

By [[2765]], the company had adopted its modern name, Coventry Metal Works.<ref>''Field Report: LCAF 2765'', p. 5</ref>
 
 
 
In early [[3068]], Coventry's production lines were overrun by the [[Word of Blake]]. The Blakists used these captured production lines to outfit their troops, halting all sales to the Lyran government. The equipment the Word confiscated was never paid for, and CMW burned through their available financial reserves to keep the company afloat. Not satisfied with this result, the Blakists inflicted serious damage on the construction facilities when they withdrew from Coventry, leading CMW to spend more money to make repairs. This massive debt has left CMW in a very tenuous position financially. As of [[3077]], executives are considering shutting down production of less popular 'Mechs to focus on more popular models.<ref>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 94 Coventry Metal Works</ref>
 
  
During the [[Jihad]] the main plant lost 45% of its personnel and equipment. In [[3079]] the plant was only 75% as productive as its pre-Jihad level.<ref>''Objectives: Lyran Alliance'', p. 3</ref> Most of the damage occurred to the production lines for heavy and assault 'Mechs, which Coventry fears is reducing its influence with the [[LCAF]] High Command. In addition, the ''Hollander'' and ''Hussar'' production lines have apparently been shut down, while the ''Dart'' line's output is earmarked for export to the [[Federated Suns]].<ref name=ola16>''Objectives: Lyran Alliance'', p. 16</ref>

The second-largest BattleMech manufacturer in the Lyran Commonwealth/Lyran Alliance, Coventry Metal Works was one of the leading 'Mech manufacturers in the Inner Sphere.

Overview[edit]

In the same class as Defiance Industries, Coventry Metal Works was more than a major 'Mech producer. Coventry is also known for its superior missile systems, which are fitted on vehicles produced by many other Alliance firms.[3]

Unlike Defiance Industries which focuses primarily on the heavy and assault designs much loved by the LCAF hierarchy, Coventry has generally produced light and medium designs. One area that Coventry is ahead of Defiance in is the production of OmniMechs. Stemming from a seemingly dubious offer of a manufacturing license to the niche Firestarter to Luthien Armor Works during the Clan Invasion, Coventry received the Omni version in return. Using this as a basis, Coventry has signed agreements to produce other Draconis Combine OmniMech designs as well utilizing their experience in building them to produce the first homegrown Lyran OmniMech, the Hauptmann.[2]

History[edit]

Coventry Defense Conglomerate was one of the Commonwealth's original two BattleMech factories,[4] producing copies of the Terran Hegemony's Mackie. The company soon branched out into producing their own designs, such as the Ymir,[5] and the design that would eventually become its flagship, the Commando.[6] In 2461, Coventry Metal Works (then still using its original name, Coventry Defense Conglomerate)[6] was the site of a Draconis Combine raid that secured the designs for BattleMechs, giving House Kurita the technology that for a brief period of time was giving House Steiner a great advantage in combat.[7][8]

By 2765, the company had adopted its modern name, Coventry Metal Works.[9]

In early 3068, Coventry's production lines were overrun by the Word of Blake. The Blakists used these captured production lines to outfit their troops, halting all sales to the Lyran government. The equipment the Word confiscated was never paid for, and CMW burned through their available financial reserves to keep the company afloat. Not satisfied with this result, the Blakists inflicted serious damage on the construction facilities when they withdrew from Coventry, leading CMW to spend more money to make repairs. This massive debt has left CMW in a very tenuous position financially. As of 3077, executives are considering shutting down production of less popular 'Mechs to focus on more popular models.[10]

During the Jihad the main plant lost 45% of its personnel and equipment. In 3079, the plant was only 75% as productive as its pre-Jihad level.[11] Most of the damage occurred to the production lines for heavy and assault 'Mechs, which Coventry feared would reduce its influence with the LCAF High Command. In addition, the Hollander and Hussar production lines were apparently shut down, while the Dart line's output was earmarked for export to the Federated Suns.[12]

Manufacturing[edit]

Coventry Metal Works has manufacturing centers on the following planets:
