==Overview==
The W-7 Facilities has been a mysterious production designation for Clan Wolf, originally used as the name of a manufacturing plant on the Clan world of [[Tranquil]].  It has since been expanded to include Inner Sphere worlds as of [[3077]], including the world of [[Weingarten]].  The W-7 factory is operating out of the remains of the Weingarten Industriplex.  The facilities there consist of a number of mobile facilities used to manufacture spare parts as well as new vehicles and 'Mechs for Clan Wolf's Touman.  W-7 Facilities is now believed to be the overall name of Clan Wolf's BattleMech manufacturing facilities.  One of the three W-7 Facilities is thought to be completely mobile, which is able to relocate to any suitable location.<ref>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 120, "W-7 Facilities' mysterious background fluff".</ref> During the [[Jihad]] the W-7 facility on Tamar lost 65% of its personnel and was barely operating at 60% in [[3079]]. The Weingarten facility was better off, as it hadn't lost any staff and was operating at full capability.<ref>''Objectives: The Clans'', p. 27</ref> In addition, parts produced at W-7 were shipped to the [[W-8 Facilities]] for assembly.<ref name=O:TCp28/> Part or all of the W-7 facility on Tranquil may originally have been a [[Clan Ice Hellion]] holding, as the Ice Hellion production facility on Tranquil responsible for producing the ''[[Ice Ferret]]'' [[OmniMech]] - then known as the ''Wolf Hunter'' - was captured by Clan Wolf during five years of conflict that saw the Wolves also destroy or capture eighty percent of the Hellions' ''Wolf Hunters''.<ref name="TRO:CIp30">''Technical Readout: Clan Invasion'', p. 30, "Fenris"</ref>

The Weingarten facility is actually a series of smaller industrial complexes that have been placed near easily-accessible resources. The only unifying feature is their proximity to the spaceport. After the Jihad ended, the Weingarten W-7 plants began refitting [[Inner Sphere]] BattleMechs to their IIC versions.<ref name=O:TCp28/>
