Under the tenure of CEO [[Alison Ryce-O'Neil]], Kali Yama Weapons Industries capitalized on the [[Clan Invasion]] by selling new equipment to the [[AFFC]] and [[DCMS]]. Though these exported goods had to pay tariffs and as such didn't represent a huge profit for the company, the sheer volume of trade more than made up for any losses. The capital provided by these sales allowed KYWI to update and upgrade its production lines. Their R&D group also worked with the [[LCCC]] to develop the ''[[Perseus]]'' OmniMech.<ref name="hbhm132">''Handbook: House Marik'', p. 132: "Kali Yama Weapons Industries Incorporated (KYAMIN)"</ref>

Unfortunately for KYWI, the Word had other plans for their engineers. As one of the few military contractors with experience building [[OmniMechs]], the KYWI engineers represented a vast knowledge base that the Blakists wanted to use elsewhere. In late 3070, the Word sent in [[Light of Mankind]] operatives who kidnapped the entire engineering staff (including their family members) and shipped them out to parts unknown.<ref name=M&M76/>

The factory lost about 75% of its staff during the [[Jihad]] but was operating at 45% capacity in [[3079]] with the ''Hercules'', ''Perseus'', ''Trebuchet'', and ''Wasp'' lines inactive.  It wasn't until the Word's departure in [[3077]] that Kali-Yama began rebuilding their research division, not wanting a repeat of the [[3070]] mass kidnapping.<ref name=OFWLE>''Objectives: Free Worlds League'' [https://bg.battletech.com/forums/errata/objectives-free-worlds-league/msg1368235/#msg1368235 Errata v1.0]</ref>
