History
Firmir Commercial was a manufacturer of entry level, consumer laser data drive systems, particularly for entertainment systems. Seeing the opportunity to enter a new market Firmir licensed a number of Magna Enterprises designs from the Star League era. In addition to this cloned line of products, Firmir also set about designing their own indigenous laser weaponry systems. [1]
As their fabrication center in Kingston[2] was built around the manufacture of consumer goods, the layout and design of the Firmir campus circa 3055 left much to be desired from a security standpoint. Kamata House's 2nd Battalion is charged with the defense of the facility. Michelangelo Schmidt, Kamata House's master, is on record around mid century stating that the (lack of) security arrangements was a "nightmare" situation, a comment that other experts in the field have considered to be a probable understatement.[1]
During the Jihad Firmir's facilities have been damaged considerably, having lost nearly half of their personnel and capital. Nonetheless, Firmir has managed to maintain nearly 80% of their industrial output.[3] In more recent years the security arrangements at Firmir have been upgraded. A system of 10 remotely operated bunkers with dual purpose anti `Mech and antipersonnel laser systems supplant a couple of manned bunkers at the complex entrance. The low manning levels of the security detail reflect the belief that the much larger Aldis plant on Betelgeuse is a far more likely target for raiding parties than is Firmir's facility. [4]
