==Overview==
Basantapur specialized in the creation of rare alloys, most of which were used in military applications such as the internal framework of [[BattleMechs]]. As of [[3025]], the company operated many large foundries on the worlds of [[Basantapur]] and [[As Samik]]. While the company survived the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]] with little damage, a long history of bad management prevented the firm from achieving its full potential. Over the years, the Federated Suns government thought about nationalizing the company, but each time this is considered, they realize that the solution would only cause more problems.<ref name=HD(TFS)p172/>

After a disastrous [[3026]], [[Hanse Davion]] appointed a new management team made up of capable executives. By [[3031]], Basantapur was operating more effectively than it ever had before and returned record profits. Things went so well that Basantapur created a new subsidiary to exploit petroleum reserves and by [[3040]] they had purchased a small transportation company to move their products to clients in the Federated Suns, [[Lyran Commonwealth]], and [[Free Worlds League]]. They maintained mining operations in scores of systems across the Federated Suns and the near [[Periphery]].<ref name=H:HDp159/>
