Skobel MechWorks started in the Terran Hegemony. They came to the notice of the SLDF through the various IndustrialMech designs they created. During the Star League, Skobel MechWorks branched into BattleMech design, first for the SLDF and later for Rim Worlds Republic forces that captured Terra.[1]
Though Skobel once had factories on Caph, Thorin, New Earth, and Outreach, the Succession Wars destroyed almost all of them. Of no less than six factories Skobel had on Terra, only a single one remained operational after General Kerensky's Exodus. This remaining factory was focused on producing components used in other company's designs. The Clan Invasion and the resulting need for material allowed Skobel MechWorks to re-open several factories left closed by Comstar for centuries, including the production line for the Jackrabbit light 'mech in Russia. This move made Skobel MechWorks one of the ComGuard's main suppliers. After the Fall of Terra to the Word of Blake, Skobel MechWorks continued to produce equipment. The Blakists also funded the decontamination and rebuilding effort for Skobel's production lines on Caph.[2]
