Involved in the production of [[Kearny-Fuchida Drive]]s since the dawn of interstellar space travel, the '''O'Neil Yards''' orbiting [[Terra]] was one of the leading power-brokers of aerospace industry in the [[Inner Sphere]].

==Overview==
Involved in the development of the first [[JumpShip]]s during the early days of interstellar travel, the O'Neil Yards used their position to branch into nearly every aspect of aerospace production. By the [[thirty-first century]], the company owned the majority stake of the [[Titan Yards]] complex, the Phobos Materials Complex, [[NETC]]'s Orbital Facility, as well as a number of large scale projects across the [[Lyran Alliance]] and [[Federated Suns]]. Despite their massive influence in the aerospace community, over the centuries O'Neil preferred to let the industry drive itself rather than seek to direct and control it, also maintaining a strict policy of neutrality with all Inner Sphere factions. Taking great pride in its neutrality, the company responded harshly to any that endangered it, most notably in [[3059]] when the entire [[Panpour]] office was terminated after O'Neil's internal investigation saw several cases of corporate malfeasance.<ref name=MM-219>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 219: "O'Neil Yards Profile"</ref>

Most notably and worryingly for the newly formed [[Republic Armed Forces]] black water navy was the complete loss of O'Neil's [[WarShip]] [[Interplanetary Drive - Combat JumpShips|Transit Drive]] manufacturing facilities. Estimates indicated it would take over a decade to restore them and then only at the cost of rebuilding elsewhere, pushing the RAF high command to look towards Pocket WarShips to fill the gap instead. Despite the stigma of the ''Tiamat'' drones' brutal actions during the liberation of Terra, the RAF took the pragmatic choice to repair the DropShip's damaged production lines to revive the original manned version to bolster its fleet. Restoration of production lines for other craft, such as the ''[[Achilles (DropShip class)|Achilles]]''-class, continued at a much slower pace.<ref name=TRO3085S-38/>
