+ | '''Kallon Industries''' was a large multinational military hardware manufacturer, producing everything from [[BattleMech]]s and [[Combat Vehicle|vehicles]] to [[DropShip]]s. The [[Federated Suns]] branch was often referred to as [[Kallon Weapon Industries]]. | ||
==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
− | + | In [[2490]], '''Kallon Corporation''' was a second-tier supplier for the [[Terran Hegemony Armed Forces]] that produced parts and supplies for the Hegemony. They entered BattleMech production in [[2504]] when their FALCON GRAY BattleMech was accepted as the [[Rifleman|RFL-1N ''Rifleman'']]. This early success justified the twenty years the company had spent building a list of subcontractors and suppliers, as well as risking their position as a Hegemony weapons developer.<ref name=XTRO:PV4p5/> | |
− | + | Kallon Industries was once a subsidiary of [[Earthwerks Incorporated]] and broke off during the [[Star League]] era. With operations in the [[Free Worlds League]], Federated Suns, and sometimes the [[Capellan Confederation]], the Federated Suns division branded itself as '''Kallon Weapon Industries''' by [[3025]].<ref name=HD(TFS)p152>''House Davion (The Federated Suns)'', p. 152: "Weapons Industries - [Kallon Weapon Industries]"</ref> The different divisions essentially operated as independent companies that shared a single board of directors.<ref name=H:HDp173>''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 173: "Kallon Industries (KlnInd)"</ref> This arrangement changed during the [[Clan Invasion]] as the branches began to work more closely, though under League law, Kallon Industries was treated as a foreign company, putting them at a disadvantage against local, larger League manufacturers.<ref name=HB:HMp133>''Handbook: House Marik'', p. 133: "Kallon Industries (Unlisted)"</ref> | |
− | + | ===First Succession War=== | |
+ | The [[Thermopolis]] branch of Kallon Industries was responsible for the development of the [[Wolverine (BattleMech)#Variants|WVR-6M]] variant of the ''[[Wolverine (BattleMech)|Wolverine]]''. The border region of the Free Worlds League in which Thermopolis was located during the [[First Succession War]] was an active combat zone, with Thermopolis being unfortunate enough to be close to the central border region that saw particularly brutal and intense fighting as the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] annexed the worlds of the [[Bolan Thumb]], with both nations launching multiple attempts to gain control of the significant [[Bella]] system. By the mid-2810s, the Thermopolis factories were suffering from the disruption to supply networks and trade endemic to the Inner Sphere during this era, and had exhausted their stockpile of the [[Autocannon/5|GM Whirlwind Autocannon]] used in the construction of the standard [[Wolverine (BattleMech)|WVR-6R ''Wolverine'']] BattleMech, although the factory assembly lines producing ''Wolverines'' were still largely intact and functioning. The local engineers reacted to this problem by adapting the design using available resources, developing the new WVR-6M variant, which entered full production in [[2816]], and was in action a year later.<ref name="FSWp162">''First Succession War'', p. 162: "WVR-6M Wolverine"</ref> | ||
− | == | + | ===Thirty-first century=== |
− | + | With the rediscovery of [[Star League]] technology in the [[thirty-first century]], Kallon would go on a development blitz to improve their market share. One of these projects was the upgrading of their existing designs, such as the ''[[Wolverine]]'' for the Free Worlds League, and reopening their mothballed ''[[Exterminator]]'' line to produce a new variant for the [[Com Guards]].{{cn}} | |
− | + | In 3067, Kallon Industries was operating on [[Keid]] to build an intercontinental maglev railway between Keid City and New Clairton whose deadline was December 30 that year. The [[AMC]] attack that destroyed the companies Warehouse would most sure impact the project.<ref name=AMCKeid>''BattleCorps: INN Newscast (Solaris Broadcasting Co. section), news item published [30/09/3067]: "AMC Forces Attack Keid"''</ref> | |
− | == | + | ===The Jihad=== |
− | Kallon | + | During the [[Jihad]], the company expanded its portfolio of products to include [[aerospace fighter]]s. When the SelaSys WarShip facility on [[Loyalty]] was destroyed, Kallon's DropShip shipyards managed to survive the attacks. Then Kallon constructed an aerospace manufacturing plant on the surface of Loyalty to further entrench themselves on the world. By 3083, Kallon began production of its ''Poignard'' light aerospace fighter, selling them to the newly formed [[Marik-Stewart Commonwealth]]. Two years later, Kallon would add a Poignard line to its production facilities on Asuncion for sales to the new [[Republic of the Sphere]].<ref name=TRO:3085p112>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 112: "PGD-Y3 Poignard"</ref> |
− | + | However, in March [[3080]], elements within Kallon Industries were implicated in being involved in local disturbances on the world of [[Nanking]]. Backed by interests in the Federated Suns, these elements were supplying weapons to rebels and renegade Coalition forces attempting to destabilize the world.<ref name="J:FRp71+">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', pp. 71–72: "Chaos Undaunted: Snow Job"</ref> | |
− | + | ||
− | + | The Bernardo and Loyalty plants suffered no losses during the Jihad.<ref name=O:FWLp4>''Objectives: Free Worlds League'', p. 4: "State of the Industry at a Glance (Dec 3079)"</ref> The facility on Nanking suffered heavy capital and personnel losses of 85%, and the operating capacity of the factory was reduced to 13% of its main production volume by the end of 3079.<ref>''Objectives: Capellan Confederation'', p. 3: "State of the Industry at a Glance (Dec 3079)"</ref> | |
− | + | ||
+ | ===The Dark Age=== | ||
+ | During the Lyran-Clan Wolf Invasion of the ex–Free Worlds League, many of Kallon's facilities would be captured by these invaders. Ultimately by [[3142]], Kallon's facilities were serving Clan Wolf and its newly formed [[Wolf Empire]]. Once upgraded, those same facilities would start producing Clan grade weapons and equipment for the Empire's ''Touman''.<ref>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 32: Wolf Empire - Clan Wolf takes ex–Free Worlds League worlds including Kallon based worlds</ref><ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 The Clans'', pp. 32, 46: Wulfen & Warwolf produced on Thermopolis</ref> One line that didn't fall to the Wolves was found on Loyalty. There the First Loyalty Defenders were able to defeat the Nineteenth Wolf Cavalry in a Trial of Possession. Kallon's Loyalty plant dedicated their output to rebuilding the Defenders in gratitude.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Free Worlds League'', p. 10</ref> | ||

Kallon Industries was a large multinational military hardware manufacturer, producing everything from BattleMechs and vehicles to DropShips. The Federated Suns branch was often referred to as Kallon Weapon Industries.
Contents
Overview
In 2490, Kallon Corporation was a second-tier supplier for the Terran Hegemony Armed Forces that produced parts and supplies for the Hegemony. They entered BattleMech production in 2504 when their FALCON GRAY BattleMech was accepted as the RFL-1N Rifleman. This early success justified the twenty years the company had spent building a list of subcontractors and suppliers, as well as risking their position as a Hegemony weapons developer.[1]
Kallon Industries was once a subsidiary of Earthwerks Incorporated and broke off during the Star League era. With operations in the Free Worlds League, Federated Suns, and sometimes the Capellan Confederation, the Federated Suns division branded itself as Kallon Weapon Industries by 3025.[2] The different divisions essentially operated as independent companies that shared a single board of directors.[3] This arrangement changed during the Clan Invasion as the branches began to work more closely, though under League law, Kallon Industries was treated as a foreign company, putting them at a disadvantage against local, larger League manufacturers.[4]
First Succession War
The Thermopolis branch of Kallon Industries was responsible for the development of the WVR-6M variant of the Wolverine. The border region of the Free Worlds League in which Thermopolis was located during the First Succession War was an active combat zone, with Thermopolis being unfortunate enough to be close to the central border region that saw particularly brutal and intense fighting as the Lyran Commonwealth annexed the worlds of the Bolan Thumb, with both nations launching multiple attempts to gain control of the significant Bella system. By the mid-2810s, the Thermopolis factories were suffering from the disruption to supply networks and trade endemic to the Inner Sphere during this era, and had exhausted their stockpile of the GM Whirlwind Autocannon used in the construction of the standard WVR-6R Wolverine BattleMech, although the factory assembly lines producing Wolverines were still largely intact and functioning. The local engineers reacted to this problem by adapting the design using available resources, developing the new WVR-6M variant, which entered full production in 2816, and was in action a year later.[5]
Thirty-first century
With the rediscovery of Star League technology in the thirty-first century, Kallon would go on a development blitz to improve their market share. One of these projects was the upgrading of their existing designs, such as the Wolverine for the Free Worlds League, and reopening their mothballed Exterminator line to produce a new variant for the Com Guards.[citation needed]
In 3067, Kallon Industries was operating on Keid to build an intercontinental maglev railway between Keid City and New Clairton whose deadline was December 30 that year. The AMC attack that destroyed the companies Warehouse would most sure impact the project.[6]
The Jihad
During the Jihad, the company expanded its portfolio of products to include aerospace fighters. When the SelaSys WarShip facility on Loyalty was destroyed, Kallon's DropShip shipyards managed to survive the attacks. Then Kallon constructed an aerospace manufacturing plant on the surface of Loyalty to further entrench themselves on the world. By 3083, Kallon began production of its Poignard light aerospace fighter, selling them to the newly formed Marik-Stewart Commonwealth. Two years later, Kallon would add a Poignard line to its production facilities on Asuncion for sales to the new Republic of the Sphere.[7]
However, in March 3080, elements within Kallon Industries were implicated in being involved in local disturbances on the world of Nanking. Backed by interests in the Federated Suns, these elements were supplying weapons to rebels and renegade Coalition forces attempting to destabilize the world.[8]
The Bernardo and Loyalty plants suffered no losses during the Jihad.[9] The facility on Nanking suffered heavy capital and personnel losses of 85%, and the operating capacity of the factory was reduced to 13% of its main production volume by the end of 3079.[10]
The Dark Age
During the Lyran-Clan Wolf Invasion of the ex–Free Worlds League, many of Kallon's facilities would be captured by these invaders. Ultimately by 3142, Kallon's facilities were serving Clan Wolf and its newly formed Wolf Empire. Once upgraded, those same facilities would start producing Clan grade weapons and equipment for the Empire's Touman.[11][12] One line that didn't fall to the Wolves was found on Loyalty. There the First Loyalty Defenders were able to defeat the Nineteenth Wolf Cavalry in a Trial of Possession. Kallon's Loyalty plant dedicated their output to rebuilding the Defenders in gratitude.[13]
