Overview
TharHes is a House Steiner manufacture of BattleMechs, Battle Armor, Exoskeletons, and other military equipment.
Company History
Tharhes was originally a branch of Hesperus II's Defiance Industries which was originally a military equipment manufacturer specialising in the production and development of missile systems and military-grade electronics and lasers, but 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 across Defiance Industries.[1]
The sale of TharHes led to the Wellby and Steiner noble families purchasing TharHes as a joint venture. With Landgrave Michael Wellby installed as it first CEO, the TharHes portfolio was expanded to include BattleMech production in the early 3010s starting with the Crusader.[1] The company began with some stumbling, having had to recall the first 200 of the 'Mechs when it was found that the reactor shielding for this batch was flawed.[2]
The company began to show better profits in the 3020s with production of the original WLF-1 Wolfhound. Its success with the Wolfhound paved the way to expanded 'Mech production across a range of weight classes.[1]
TharHes is bound by a contract that proved to be an embarrassment. When the production of the WLF-2 Wolfhound began, they entered a long-term contract with Doering Electronics to provide them with the communications system for the Wolfhound. The TharHes electronics family was very popular, but they're not used by their premier 'Mech. [3] 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.[1]
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;[4] 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.[5]
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.[6]
Leadership
As of 3025, the Chief Operating Officer for the TharHes was Landgrave Michael Wellby.[2]
As of 3067, the Chief Operating Officer for the TharHes company was Landgrave Gabriel Wellby.[1]
