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

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 OmniMechs. However the arrangement backfired once the Blakist's launched their Jihad and claimed Gibson, drawing increasing raids aimed at knocking the factories out.
