'''Blue Shot Weapons''' was a manufacturing concern in the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] for centuries before its original factories on [[Solaris]] were destroyed by [[Free Worlds League]] troops in [[2928]]. During the [[Clan Invasion]], the [[Federated Commonwealth]] invested heavily in additional weapons manufacturing centers in order to get as many 'Mechs and tanks on the field as possible. Blue Shot Weapons' Solaris lines were reopened in the mid-3050s via these investments.<ref name=H:HSp142/>

Though the Solaris line was producing ''Lynx'' BattleMechs by [[3056]], [[Gualtiero Marino]], the CEO of Blue Shot, made several agreements with other manufacturers on Loxley, Midway, and Kathil. These agreements saw licenses for Blue Shot 'Mech designs given to these facilities in exchange for capital investments and production partnerships. Blue Shot's three BattleMech lines have been running continuously ever since.<ref name=H:HSp142/>

During the [[Jihad]], the facility on Solaris, suffered heavy capital and personnel losses of 80%, and the operating capacity of the factory was down to only 8% of their full production volume in [[3072]].<ref>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 26: "Solaris VII Corporate Profiles"</ref> The damage was so severe that the Solaris facility was restricted to producing exoskeletons.<ref name=O:LAp19>''Objectives: Lyran Alliance'', p. 19: "Blue Shot Weapons"</ref> The Loxley facility, however, came through the Jihad in excellent shape. It suffered no losses at all, and in [[3079]] it was operating at 95% of its pre-Jihad productivity.<ref>''Objectives: Lyran Alliance'', p. 3: "State of the Industry at a Glance (Dec 3079)"</ref>
