Lockheed-CBM Corporation is the largest manufacturer of AeroSpace Fighters in the Lyran Commonwealth/Lyran Alliance.

Overview

Originally two separate companies, the Lockheed Corporation of Gibbs and CBM AeroSpace of Donegal, the pair established an alliance in 2487 to build the original Thunderbird for the Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces and eventually combined forces. The corporation has been compared to Defiance Industries in sheer production of aerospace, conventional and other types of airborne craft.[1]

The Corporation suffered from scandal in mid-3020s, where Steiner government charged the corporation's board members of corruption. Leading number of its members imprisonment including its then-CEO Duke Alan Day. In the aftermath, the minor boardmember Rachael Haranshire was promoted to CEO of the company. Where she then put number of reforms that swept away elminated numereous forms of coruption that was missed by Steiner courts.[1]

Grateful for these acts, then Archon Katrina Steiner, rewarded Haranshire with former Duke Day's title and duchy.[2]

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 wasn't clear 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.[3]

Leadership

In 3067 the companies CEO is Duke Maximillian Haranshire.[2]
