Alliance Defenders Limited (ADL) was the first and largest producer of weapons and equipment for ground based warfare in the Outworlds Alliance.<ref name=HBMPS143/> ADL was founded as a result of funding investments made by the [[Terran Hegemony]]. The company was envisioned to be the means for easing the logistical problems of replacing equipment lost in the field by the [[Star League Defense Force]] [[18th Army (Star League)|Eighteenth Army]].<ref name="FR2765:Pp10"/> ADL began its operation in the [[2730]]s<ref name="FR2765:Pp10"/> and has provided [['Mechs]] to the [[Alliance Military Corps]] ever since.<ref name=HBMPS143/>

'''Alliance Defenders Limited''' was the first and largest producer of equipment and weapons for ground based warfare in the [[Outworlds Alliance]]. It began operations in the 2750's, and it has provided 'Mechs to the [[Alliance Military Corps]] ever since.<ref name=HBMPS143>''Handbook: Major Periphery States'', p. 143, "Manufacturer Profile"</ref> In 3067 ADL expanded production to include the ''Rommel'' and ''Po'' heavy tanks.

Output from ADL facilities grew steadily from its opening to April of [[2765]].<ref name="FR2765:Pp10"/> During the [[Star League]] era, ADL specialized in the production of three [[BattleMech#Light|light]] 'Mech designs; the ''[[Locust]]'', the ''[[Stinger]]'', and the ''[[Wasp]]'', many of which were equipped with the advanced laser systems manufactured by [[Lushann Industrials Limited]]. At least two of these designs, the ''Locust'' and the ''Stinger'', were procured by [[Emma Jacobs]] (the first CEO of ADL) by bribing pirate bands to acquire their designs from the [[Federated Suns]].<ref name=TotSH>''Top of the Scrap Heap''</ref>
