'''Michaelson Heavy Industries''' was a smaller [[Federated Suns]] military contractor that specialized in [[VTOL]]s.

[[File:MICHAELSON HEAVY INDUSTRIES.jpg|right|220px|thumb|Michaelson Heavy Industries Manufacturer Logo ]]
Michaelson Heavy Industries was created in the twenty-ninth century by the city of Michaelson on Ruchbah. The city government recovered from the devastation of the first two Succession Wars by taking control of many idle factories and employing citizens in a socialist plan. This allowed the new company to flourish, and the company quickly took control of the city itself. They produced a variety of products for the civilian market, including heavy construction equipment, VTOLs, and tools used by military and civilian technicians and engineers. The company ran for nearly a century under the socialized plan, but in the late thirtieth century the company began trading stocks on public exchanges. This brought in a great deal of capital which allowed Michaelson to repair its factories and expand into military production. In [[3051]], they offered several different combat VTOLs to the [[AFFS]], and by [[3061]] it was producing a total of five combat VTOLs.<ref name=HB:HDp167/>
 
  
After [[Operation GUERRERO]] sundered the [[Federated Commonwealth]], orders for Michaelson's products increased dramatically.<ref name=CMp48>''Chaos March'', p. 48</ref> Much of this success came at the expense of [[Cal-Boeing of Dorwinion]], who had been the AFFS' preferred VTOL manufacturer to that time.<ref name=HB:HDp164>''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 164: "Cal-Boeing of Dorwinion (CalBo)"</ref>

==Leadership==
 
+
In [[3067]] the companies CEO is Ozzi Gutierrez.<refname=HBHD167>''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 167, "Michaelson Heavy Industries Profile"</ref>
Michaelson Heavy Industries found itself nearly bankrupt in the aftermath of the [[Jihad]], leading to it selling technology to [[Brooks Incorporated]] which Brooks Inc. then used to develop the [[Aeron|Aeron Strike VTOL]].<ref name="TRO:3085Sp12">''Technical Readout: 3085 Supplemental'', p. 12</ref> Brooks Inc. were far from the only company to benefit from Michaelson's dire financial straits, which were entirely due to the [[Word of Blake]] blockade of [[Ruchbah]], the homeworld for Michaelon Heavy Industries. A large part of the intellectual property owned by Michaelson was sold to other companies as Michaelson tried to stay afloat, but this also resulted in the marketplace rapidly filling with copies of their own vehicles produced by other companies, putting yet more pressure on Michaelson.<ref name="TRO:3085Sp22">''Technical Readout: 3085 Supplemental'', p. 22: "Trireme Infantry Transport</ref>
 
 
 
A financial lifeline for Michaelson in the early 3080s came from the [[Republic of the Sphere]] when Michaelson entered a design for a new [[battle armor]] transport for the [[Republic Armed Forces]]. Although Michaelson nearly passed on the procurement competition, the decision by Michaelson to focus on the mobility requirement of the contract rather than the carrying capacity requirement saw their design accepted over all of the competitors, leading to production orders for the [[Trireme]] in three different variants as the major battle armor transport platform for the RAF.<ref name="TRO:3085Sp22"/>
 
 
 
By the [[thirty-second century]], the company would set up a manufacturing plant on [[Terra]].<ref name="TRO:3145ROTSp24">''Technical Readout: 3145 Republic of the Sphere'', p. 24: MHI Defense AA Tank - Tank's list of factory it is built from include Terra.</ref><ref name="TRO:3145ROTSp18">''Technical Readout: 3145 Republic of the Sphere'', p. 18: MHI Amphibious APC - MHI Amphibious APC is included in vehicles produced on Terra and elsewhere by 3145.</ref>
 
 
 
Michaelson's [[Bishop (Combat Vehicle)|Bishop Transport VTOL]] was introduced to the market in [[3093]], and became such a success that Michaelson opened a new production line for the Bishop on the world of [[June]] in [[3118]].<ref name="TRO:3145Mp22+">''Technical Readout: 3145 Mercenaries'', pp. 22–23: "Bishop Transport VTOL"</ref>
 
 
 
Michaelson's [[Hawk Moth II|Hawk Moth II Gunship]]<ref name=TRO:3145RotSp12>''Technical Readout: 3145 Republic of the Sphere'', p. 12: "Hawk Moth II Gunship"</ref> was introduced to the marked in [[3112]]. Jointly developed and produced with [[Victory Conditions Industries]] it bears little resembles to its highly successful pre-Jihad namesake the [[Hawk Moth|Hawk Moth Gunship]].
