One of the many Solaris 'Mech design firms, the [[Solaris City]]-based Innovative Design Concepts was the only one listed on the [[Lyran Alliance]] stock exchanges as of [[3067]]. IDC's listing was based on CEO [[Ramon Pietro]]'s desperate desire to enter the main-line 'Mech markets, despite the fact that unlike [[Vining Engineering and Salvage Team]] (a company that has developed truly new and unique designs which have entered mass production), IDC produced only extensive customization of existing designs such as its popular ''[[Daedalus (BattleMech)|Daedalus]]'' and ''[[Longshot]]'', based on the venerable ''[[Phoenix Hawk]]'' and ''[[Assassin]]'' respectively.<ref name=H:HSp147/>
