With its Hesperus II facility the largest surviving single site BattleMech factory after the fall of the Star League, Defiance Industries is the foundation of the militaries of the Lyran Commonwealth, Federated Commonwealth and Lyran Alliance.


Overview

With the opening shots of the Reunification War, the Star League reached an agreement with Archon Viola Steiner in 2577 to construct a factory jointly shared by both parties to ensure proper resupply of 'Mechs during the Periphery campaigns. To protect the factories from assault or sabotage, workers spent ten years hollowing out one of the Myoo Mountains of the South Whitman continent with the factories built inside.

With the fall of the Star League, control of Defiance Industries passed to House Steiner, who assigned control to the Brewer family who have ensured its prodigious production rate continues even with the technological decline of the Succession Wars and repeated attacks to knock it out. So important to Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces and the Lyran nation nearly 14 attempts by other Successor States have been launched to capture or destroy it have been launched. To date the factory has only been wrested from Lyran hands once, falling to the concentrated efforts of the Word of Blake during the Jihad.

The Furillo facilities however are much less storied. Formerly the Tolsand WarWorks, Defiance acquired the aging plant in 2992 and poured considerable funds into upgrading and updating the factory. Located near the city of Snohomish Springs in the shadow of the Mont Vert on the Dereka continent, the Furillo assembly lines are primarily configured to construct Light and Medium designs, leaving it overshadowed by the Hesperus II factories in the eyes of notoriously heavy LCAF forces, at least until the Blakist's Jhiad made it the temporary headquarters of the corporation.

In 3068 the Word of Blake attacked Hesperus II[1] with WarShips. By 3070 Blakist forces had taken the planet[2] which forced Defiance to rely on its smaller plants on Furillo and Kwangjong-ni as its main production lines.[3] While they controlled the planet, the Blakists converted several Hesperus II production lines to produce their own preferred BattleMech variants. The Blakists were eventually pushed off Hesperus II, but before they left they destroyed many production facilities and damaged many more.[4]
