Sheinhardt Universal Technologies (abbreviated SUT) was a conglomerate which originally produced civilian and later military vehicles to the Terran Alliance and later the Terran Hegemony. The company is better known for producing the Asher Missile Platform for the Alliance Global Militia in 2298.

History[edit]

The company was dogged throughout its existence for its questionable quality in its products. They were initially produced at high quality at their headquarters and then mass produced inexpensively and possibly at lower quality due of the use of subsidiary companies which were subcontracted within the Terran's domain and beyond.

This practice of using subcontracted manufacturers to handle SUT's products would ultimately spell the company's demise. In 2360, the company's subsidiaries began to sell a cosmetically altered Asher to other Great Houses of the Inner Sphere. When this came to light, SUT was shut down and its assets sold off. It's believed that one these subsidiaries inherited SUT's practices and eventually came under the ownership of the Quikscell Company.[1]

Notes[edit]

  • It should be known that there is little information on what became of the company's former subsidiaries who mass produced the Asher. Quikscell became owner of many of these former SUT companies.
  • There is no information what other products Sheinhardt had produced during its years of operation.
  • It's not clear if the Asher itself was continued on beyond despite being obsoleted in 2360, when the company was broken up and its assets sold.[2]
  • Sheinhardt maybe a reference to the Sheinhardt Wig Company that was subsidiary of General Electric, which owned NBC and Universal studios in the sitcom 30 Rock.
