LexaTech was once primarily known as a producer of the nearly extinct [[LAM]]. [[Clan Nova Cat]] gained a great deal of prestige by capturing the Lexatech facility on [[Irece]].<ref>''Objective Raids'', p.64, "Lexa Tech Industries"</ref>

In [[3025]], the company was doing very well. Introduced during the days of the [[Star League]], LexaTech churned out the ''[[Stinger LAM]]'' to replace those frequently lost in combat.

LexaTech Industries was once the Draconis Combine's largest producers of LAMs. They have since become a large supplier of heavy BattleMechs.

Overview[edit]

In 3025, the company was doing very well. Introduced during the days of the Star League, LexaTech churned out the Stinger LAM to replace those frequently lost in combat. As one of the few BattleMechs that was still being produced in Combine space, the Stinger LAM saw a lot of action.[3]

As LexaTech was once known as the primary producer of the nearly extinct LAM, Clan Nova Cat gained a great deal of prestige by capturing the Lexatech facility on Irece.[4]

The Hun Ho plant was located near the city of Corsan on the Bergen continent of Hun Ho, near the pole, with easy access to mineral resources on what is otherwise a tropical jungle paradise world. In addition to the BattleMechs manufactured on Hun Ho, from 3075 onwards the facility also converted Cyclops BattleMechs to the 11-B variant as a refit.[2]

The Jihad had little effect on LexaTech Industries. By 3079, their Hun Ho plant was operating at 90% of its pre-Jihad levels, although the plant had suffered no combat losses.[5] During the Early Republic Era the plant was primarily mothballed as part of the military drawdowns, only keeping limited production of spare parts. After the 3132 collapse of the HPG network, the plant was reactivated and brought up to full production capacity.[6]
