The border between the Free Worlds League and the Lyran Commonwealth was an active combat zone during the [[First Succession War]], and '''Thermopolis''' had the misfortune of being close enough to the [[Bolan Thumb]] region to be caught up enough in the fighting as the Commonwealth annexed the Thumb. By the 2810s, the [[Kallon Industries]] facilities on Thermopolis was still producing [[BattleMech]]s for the [[Free Worlds League Military]] despite damage to their production lines, but shortages of certain items as a result of disrupted trade and shipping threatened Kallon's ability to keep manufacturing. One of the steps Kallon took in response was to retool their ''[[Wolverine (BattleMech)|Wolverine]]'' manufacturing lines in [[2816]] to produce a new, locally-designed variant using available materials, and a year later these new Thermopolis-produced 'Mechs were in action in the nearby [[Bella I]] system as the two nations continued to battle for supremacy.<ref name="FSWp162"/>
