Located on on Solaris VII, the Vining Engineering and Salvage Team or VEST, is one of the most innovative BattleMech design firms in the Inner Sphere.
Overview
VEST began as a five-person BattleMech salvage operation in the Solaris VII led by engineering genius and ex-NAIS graduate Dr. David Courtney Vining, producing refitted Solaris designs for the Games. During the initial Clan Invasion, Vining took the unusual step of leading his design team to the frontlines to see first hand the amazing technology of the invaders. While rumor holds they brought back captured Clan-tech, the only thing certain is that VEST designs showed vast improvements when they returned, slowly gaining the firm a reputation as one of innovative design groups for battlefield technology in the Inner Sphere.
While continuing to hand build 'Mechs for the areanas, unlike many of the other niche cottage industry Solaris manufacturers, VEST have had great success in selling their designs to larger manufacturing firms, most notable the Jackal and Grand Titan produced by Earthwerks Incorporated.
Manufacturing
VEST has a manufacturing center on the following planet:
Solaris VII
