Overview
Between 3067 and 3072, Irian Technologies maintained a neutral stance towards the Word of Blake. This worked to IrTech's advantage: Where other manufacturers were destroyed by the Jihad, IrTech was able to survive and even succeed. When the tide turned against the Blakists, however, IrTech found that their neutrality cost them many favors and (more importantly) customers, leaving the Word of Blake as their largest customer. The Word ruthlessly pushed this advantage, and by 3072 the Word of Blake controlled Irian Technologies.[2]
The resulting internal turmoil as the company's leadership struggled to find a way out of their desperate straights effectively shattered the company into smaller pieces. Some newly held companies located in the Lyran Alliance sided with the Word. On Irian, the company leadership put their full weight behind the resistance, leading to a liberated planet. The rest of the company seems to be stuck, floundering around for a successful strategy.[2] When the Blakists were forced to retreat from Irian on the 8th of December they resorted to using scorched earth tactics to cover their withdrawal, targeting a number of IrTech facilities with tactical nuclear devices as they went.[3][4]
In 3079, most of Irian's production was being commandeered by the 3rd Free Worlds Legionnaires so they could rebuild.[5]
By 3081 Irian was expanding its' exports in an effort to make up for huge corporate losses, with those satellite factories that survived the corporation turning against the Word of Blake continuing to supply the Marik Commonwealth with a trickle of FWLM staple units. However, production was still far below that of the original parent plants.[6] They also maintained a repair and refit center on Angell II[7] and Washburn[8].
In early to mid 32nd Century, various Irian Technologies planets would turn to start supplying their "native" Duchies and other fragmented FWL-Nation States.[9]
