==History==
 
−
FWDI was formed in October [[2562]] by the merger of '''Andurien AeroTech''' and '''Gibson Federated BattleMechs''', with the [[Andurien]] based aerospace company seeking new investment opportunities while the [[Gibson]] based [[BattleMech]] manufacturer needed to resolve cash flow problems from over extension. Like many manufacturers they had both suffered and benefited from the near constant warfare of the [[Succession Wars]]. FWDI's R&D facilities and coffers received a large boost when the [[ComStar]] splinter group the [[Word of Blake]] sought sanctuary on Gibson, with their factories on that planet befitting from large production orders and Blakist funded upgrades to produce designs using [[lostech]] and eventually [[OmniMech]]s. However the arrangement backfired once the Blakist's launched their [[Jihad]] and claimed Gibson, drawing increasing raids aimed at knocking the factories out. <ref name=HMFWL126>''House Marik:The Free Worlds League'', p. 126, "Free Worlds Defensive Industries Profile"</ref>

==Overview==

Based on Gibson, it was taken over by the Word of Blake forces on that world and used as one of their primary military suppliers.<ref>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 77</ref> Funding from the Word allowed Gibson Federated to expand production, opening plants on [[Terra]] and [[Mars]].<ref>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 218</ref> Gibson also formed [[Sekkaris Mekwerks]] in [[3063]] to create prototype designs equipped with weapons the Word had acquired from the Clans and other sources. The ''Celestial'' series [[OmniMech]]s were designed by Sekkaris, particularly their lead designer Dr. [[Devon Cortland]].<ref>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 218</ref>

A division of Gibson Federated BattleMechs, '''Sekkaris Mekwerks''' is the birthplace of the Blakist's fearsome [[Celestial series]] [[OmniMech]]s.
 
  
 
==Overview==
 
==Overview==
−
Formed in [[3063]] as a separate division of Gibson Federated, based on the planet Mars in the [[Terra]]n system Sekkaris Mekwerks was tasked with developing new designs and equipment based on advanced [[Clan]] and [[Inner Sphere]] technologies captured by the Word of Blake. Quickly becoming the sole preserve of chief researcher [[Devon Cortland]], Cortland's efforts to integrated new structural components with OmniPod technology led to the development of the Celestial series. <ref name=MM>''Masters and Minions'' - Corporations of the Word of Blake, pg 218</ref>
+
FWDI was formed in October [[2562]] by the merger of '''Andurien AeroTech''' and '''Gibson Federated BattleMechs''', with the [[Andurien]]-based aerospace company seeking new investment opportunities, while the [[Gibson]]-based [[BattleMech]] manufacturer needed to resolve cash flow problems from overextension.<ref name=HM:FWLp126/>
  
−
While Gibson Federated's Terran and [[Gibson]] production lines far and away produce the bulk of the Blakist's new OmniMechs, Sekkaris continues to produce specialized custom-made Celestials for the [[Manei Domini]]'s [[VDNI]] equipped commanders and elite units such as the [[Opacus Venatori]]. <ref name=MM/> <ref name="SWAB">''Starterbook: Wolf and Blake''</ref>
+
Like many manufacturers, they had both suffered and benefited from the near constant warfare of the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]]. FWDI's R&D facilities and coffers received a large boost when the [[ComStar]] splinter group the [[Word of Blake]] sought sanctuary on Gibson, with their factories on that planet befitting from large production orders and Blakist funded upgrades to produce designs using [[lostech]] and eventually [[OmniMech]]s. However the arrangement backfired once the Blakists launched their [[Jihad]] and claimed Gibson, drawing increasing raids aimed at knocking the factories out.{{cn}}

'''Andurien AeroTech''' is the subsidiary of '''Free Worlds Defense Industries''' responsible for most of their AeroSpace unit production.

Following the disbandment of the Free Worlds League and the establishment of the [[Duchy of Andurien]] as an independent nation, Andurien AeroTech benefitted from the very loose export restrictions put in place by the Duchy in the [[3080]]s. This meant that Andurien AeroTech products were soon seen well beyond the boundaries of the former League, with the ''[[Deathstalker]]'' being of particular interest to outside bodies. Andurien AeroTech was also able to circumvent government restrictions on sales to the [[Marik Commonwealth]] thanks to the location of the [[Westover]] plant.<ref name="J:FRp93">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 93, "Duchy of Andurien"</ref>

Division(s)

Free Worlds Defense Industries is one of the leading military equipment manufacturers in the Free Worlds League.

Overview[edit]

FWDI was formed in October 2562 by the merger of Andurien AeroTech and Gibson Federated BattleMechs, with the Andurien-based aerospace company seeking new investment opportunities, while the Gibson-based BattleMech manufacturer needed to resolve cash flow problems from overextension.[1]

Like many manufacturers, they had both suffered and benefited from the near constant warfare of the Succession Wars. FWDI's R&D facilities and coffers received a large boost when the ComStar splinter group the Word of Blake sought sanctuary on Gibson, with their factories on that planet befitting from large production orders and Blakist funded upgrades to produce designs using lostech and eventually OmniMechs. However the arrangement backfired once the Blakists launched their Jihad and claimed Gibson, drawing increasing raids aimed at knocking the factories out.[citation needed]

Andurien AeroTech[edit]

Andurien AeroTech was the subsidiary of Free Worlds Defense Industries responsible for most of their aerospace unit production. In 3025, the company's Division Head was Lady Shanna Valdssen.[1]

Following the disbandment of the Free Worlds League and the establishment of the Duchy of Andurien as an independent nation, Andurien AeroTech benefited from the very loose export restrictions put in place by the Duchy in the 3080s. This meant that Andurien AeroTech products were soon seen well beyond the boundaries of the former League, with the Deathstalker being of particular interest to outside bodies. Andurien AeroTech was also able to circumvent government restrictions on sales to the Marik Commonwealth thanks to the location of the Westover plant.[2]

In 3078, Andurien AeroTech announced that it was separating from their parent company.[3]

During the Jihad, the Andurien, Lopez, and Westover plants suffered no damage and was operating at maximum output in 3079.[4] The Lopez factories were lost along with the planet following extensive asteroid bombardment in October 3080.[2][5]
