The company opened its orbital shipyards for repair and refit work to anyone, including local corporate rivals.<ref name=H:HSp147/> By the [[thirty-first century]], TAG had developed something of a good working relationship with its friendly rival, [[Semier Data Tron]]. At this time, Semier granted TAG a joint license to manufacture ''[[Fortress]]''-class DropShips, and TAG began refitting them with the Movem-XL Drive from its ''Mammoth'' production line.<ref>''Objective Raids'', p. 82: TAG Profile</ref>+ '''TAG-Manufacturing''' has a manufacture center on the following planet: − Prior to the [[Jihad]], TAG's corporate leadership begun bolstering its private aerospace defense force.

The manufacturing facilities were reduced to a quarter of their pre-Jihad output. With only 15% of their workforce coming through the Jihad, this wasn't surprising.<ref name=O:LAp3>''Objectives: Lyran Alliance'', p. 3: "State of the Industry at a Glance (Dec 3079)"</ref> Aesiria Station was only producing ''Mule''- and ''Intruder''-class DropShips in [[3079]].<ref name=O:LAp25/>+ {| width='500' − + !

However, ''[[Handbook: House Steiner]]'' has the shipyards in Tharkad's orbit with a history stretching to its founding in the 2400s. Writers of BattleTech have ruled that TAG's location over Gibbs was an error and it is and has always been in orbit of Tharkad and that the original ''[[Objective Raids]]'' was in error.<ref>[http://www.classicbattletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=68239.0;topicseen BattleTech Writer's ruling on TAG's location] (dead link)</ref> − ==References== + == ''References'' == + *[[Objective Raids]] <references /> <references /> − ==Bibliography==+ [[category:Manufacturing Centers]] − * ''[[Handbook: House Steiner]]'' − * ''[[Objective Raids]]'' − * ''[[Objectives: Lyran Alliance]]'' − * ''[[Technical Readout: 3145 Lyran Commonwealth]]'' − − [[category:Manufacturing Centers|TAG-Manufacturing]] − [[Category:Lyran Commonwealth Corporations]]
