===Formation===
Originally two separate companies, the Lockheed Corporation of [[Gibbs]] and CBM Aerospace of [[Donegal]], the pair established an alliance by [[2480]] to build the original ''[[Thunderbird (Aerospace Fighter class)|Thunderbird]]'' for the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] and eventually merged.<ref name=TRO:3075p286>''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 286: "TRB-36D Thunderbird"</ref>

===Fourth Succession War===
The Corporation suffered from a scandal in mid-3020s, when the [[Lyran Commonwealth|Commonwealth]] government charged the corporation's board members with corruption. Several of its members were imprisoned, including then-CEO Duke [[Alan Day]].  In the aftermath, the minor board member [[Rachael Haranshire]] was promoted to CEO of the company. Haranshire instituted reforms that swept away numerous instances of corruption that had been missed by the Steiner courts.<ref name=HSp121>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 121: "Weapons Industries" - [Lockheed/CBM Corporation]</ref>

Grateful for these acts, then-[[Archon of the Lyran Commonwealth|Archon]] [[Katrina Steiner]] rewarded Haranshire with former Duke Day's title and duchy.<ref name=HBHSp144>''Handbook: House Steiner'', p. 144: "Lockheed/CBM Corporation (LCBMC)"</ref>

In [[3060]], Lockheed/CBM was selected to produce a homegrown [[OmniFighter]] in partnership with the LAAF. The project would go on to produce the wildly successful ''[[Eisensturm]]'', which would debut in a fixed configuration in [[3062]] before the Omni version began flying the following year. Much of the cost of the project was borne by Lockheed, rather than the Lyran government, as the company hoped to reap the profits of selling the fighter on the open market. It was an immediate success.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3067'', p. 156</ref>

Lockheed/CBM's Tharkad plant was seriously damaged during the Blakist assault on that planet. All three production lines were seriously damaged when the Word forces were kicked off Tharkad. In 3077, it was unclear if the ''Hellcat'' and ''Lightning'' production lines would be repaired or if production of those models would cease to make way for a new design,<ref name=M&M94>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 94: "Lockheed/CBM Profile"</ref> and by [[3079]] the plant was still only operating at 35% having taken substantial damage.<ref name="O:LAp3"/> The Lockheed/CBM plant on Donegal was also a casualty of the [[Jihad]], with their military production destroyed in a Blakist nuclear raid, and as of [[3081]] there was still no sign of the factory being rebuilt.<ref name="J:FRp85">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 85: "Donegal Province"</ref> In contrast with the damage inflicted on the Lockheed/CBM operations on Donegal and Tharkad, the [[Furillo]] plant, like the world as a whole, avoided serious damage from Blakist attacks. Production still dropped, however, but only because the company's customers were unable to accept or provide shipments due to the disruption of the Jihad.<ref name="FM:3085p96">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 96: "Bolan Province"</ref> The Gibbs plant also escaped damage, and was operating at full capacity during the closing years of the Jihad.<ref name="O:LAp3">''Objectives: Lyran Alliance'', p. 3: "State of the Industry at a Glance (Dec 3079)"</ref> The heavy damage to these lines and the prior success of the ''Eisensturm'' led Lockheed to produce the ''[[Morgenstern]]'' to replace the older airframes.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 116</ref>
