==Overview==
'''TharHes''' is a [[Lyran Commonwealth]] manufacturer of [[BattleMechs]], [[battle armor]], [[exoskeleton]]s, and other military equipment.

==Company History==
TharHes was originally a branch of [[Hesperus II]]'s [[Defiance Industries]] specializing in the production and development of missile systems and military-grade electronics and lasers.  At one point however, the executives running Defiance decided to spin TharHes out and sell it off, unloading a majority of their shares in the company during a brief but company-wide slump in sales.<ref name=HBHS147/>

The sale of TharHes led to the Wellby and [[House Steiner|Steiner]] noble families purchasing TharHes as a joint venture.  With Landgrave [[Michael Wellby]] installed as its first CEO, the TharHes portfolio was expanded to include BattleMech production in the early 3010s.  TharHes' first 'Mech produced was the ''[[Crusader]]''.<ref name=HBHS147/>  Unfortunately, this venture began with some stumbling, as they had to recall the first 200 of the 'Mechs when it was found that the reactor shielding for this batch was flawed.<ref name=HSp123>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 123, "TharHes Industries" - Original profile from house book and the company's stumbling its first production run.</ref>

The company began to show better profits in the 3020s with production of the original [[Wolfhound|WLF-1 ''Wolfhound'']]. The ''Wolfhound'' being successful paved the way for TharHes to expand 'Mech production across a range of weight classes.<ref name=HBHS147>''Handbook: House Steiner'', p. 147, "TharHes Industries (TharHes)"</ref>

TharHes was soon bound by a contract that proved to be an embarrassment for the company. When the production of the ''WLF-2 Wolfhound'' began, they entered into a long-term contract with [[Doering Electronics]] to provide them with the communications system for the ''Wolfhound''.  Shortly thereafter, TharHes began to produce their own line of communications systems which have proved to be very popular, but due to their contract these systems don't appear on one of their premier 'Mechs.<ref>''Objective Raids'', p. 83, TharHes Industries</ref> This was a result of the Lyran government policy that encouraged companies to cooperate through trade with each other as a means of providing both stablity and economic growth.<ref name=HBHS147/>

The TharHes facilities on Tharkad were nearly destroyed during the [[Jihad]], taking 95% losses during the conflict; by [[3079]], the company had only managed to restore production to 20% of full capacity. In contrast, the [[Eutin]] facilities constructed during the Jihad were completely unscathed and continued to operate at full capacity;<ref name="O:LAp3">''Objectives: Lyran Alliance'', p. 3, "State of the Industry at a Glance (Dec 3079)"</ref> the employment provided by the TharHes facilities proved to be a major boon for the population of Eutin Prime, which had doubled in size by 3079 to almost eight hundred thousand.<ref name="O:LAp17"/>

With only the ''[[Barghest]]'' production line still producing 'Mechs from the Tharkad plant by the end of the Jihad, rumors and speculation were rife that TharHes was going to merge back into Defiance Industries in some form as a possible route for both companies to weather the massive reconstruction efforts needed.<ref name="O:LAp32">''Objectives: Lyran Alliance'', p. 32, "TharHes Industries"</ref>

TharHes retained its independence, but its facilities were again heavily damaged when [[Clan Wolf]] attacked Tharkad in [[3142]]. The factory's BattleMech lines were destroyed in the fighting, leaving the plant only able to produce standard battle armor suits at a quarter the prior rate.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 122 </ref>

The company's streak of misfortune appeared to be coming to an end with the introduction of its new ''Crusader'' variant, the CRD-10S, which first saw combat in [[3147]]. While many other companies had begun producing enough Clantech in-house to introduced mixed-tech versions of their designs, TharHes had gone one step further, building their flagship BattleMech entirely to Clan specifications, either through equipment fabricated on-site or purchased from [[Defiance Industries]].<ref name=Shrap5>''Shrapnel Issue 5'', Kindle version - CRD-10S Crusader profile</ref>

==Leadership==
As of [[3025]], the Chief Operating Officer for the TharHes was Landgrave [[Michael Wellby]].<ref name=HSp123/>

As of [[3067]], the Chief Operating Officer for the TharHes company was Landgrave [[Gabriel Wellby]].<ref name=HBHS147/>
