Tao 'Mechworks is a BattleMech manufacturer on the Capellan Confederation world of Styk.
Contents
Overview
Located on the second largest trading and industrial center in the Confederation, the Tao 'Mechworks was the third largest 'Mech manufacturer in Liao space, and its capture was a prime target during the Fourth Succession War. When it became apparent that Styk would fall to the AFFS, the retreating Capellan forces destroyed as much as possible, effectively forcing the Federated Commonwealth to rebuild the facility from scratch.
One benefit of this was the ability design the production line to produce any 'Mech of their choosing, configuring it to manufacture the advanced-tech VTR-9D Victor, to replace in part the lost output of the FedCom signature design from Independence Weaponry, itself captured by the Draconis Combine in the War of 3039.
The facility came under the control of the Styk Commonality after the Marik-Liao invasion of the Sarna March in 3057. After Sun Tzu Liao became the First Lord of the recreated Star League, he used the political weight of the Office to gain effective control of all Chaos March factories to supply the forces participating in Operation Bulldog and Task Force Serpent. From that point on, Tao 'Mechworks was garrisoned by "Observation Troops" friendly to the Capellan Confederation and used her output to equip the SLDF and CCAF. This status quo remained even after the need to supply the SLDF has passed and for all intents and purposes the facility is now under the control of the Capellan Confederation.
The CCAF has since reconfigured the site to produce the Stealth Armor equipped VTR-10L Victor and CRD-7L Crusader.
