Achernar BattleMechs is the oldest and most respected BattleMech manufacturer in the Federated Suns. Though best known for its military products, at least three-quarters of its business and revenue come from the other four divisions.[1]
Contents
Overview
Located in Ith on the Federated Sun's capital world, Achernar has a long history of BattleMech design for House Davion, producing among the first 'Mechs for the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns during the Age of War. While somewhat overshadowed by the massive production of Corean Enterprises's fully automated plant during the technological decline of the Succession Wars era, Achernar produces many iconic Davion 'Mech designs which ensures it plays an important part in the Davion military.[2]
During the Jihad and before the various Battles for New Avalon, Marshal of the Armies Jackson Davion forced Achernar BattleMechs to shut down their surface production lines. He also planted false information in the Word of Blake camps that the main underground facility, Albion Advanced Technologies, had been destroyed by an orbital bombardment. This led the Blakists to believe that Achernar was no longer a viable military contractor (a threat or a source of parts), so they ignored the company. In reality the underground plant produced parts, ammunition, weapons, and replacement battle suits for the AFFS throughout the campaign. [3]
After the Jihad the Achernar BattleMechs plant on New Avalon had only restored four of eight production lines. The Dervish, Enforcer III, Hammerhands, and BattleAxe 'Mechs were slowly rolling off their production lines. The Osiris was the next design requested by the AFFS[4], but given that 95% of Achernar BattleMechs production lines were moved or damaged along with similar personnel losses, the company was lucky to provide the 10% of their pre-Jihad output.[5] Achernar was one of a number of companies to benefit from the Castle Avalon reconstruction plan implemented by Princess-Regent Yvonne Steiner-Davion in the wake of the Jihad. By mid-3081 rebuilding efforts were proceeding rapidly, and it was anticipated that the plant would be back to full production by the middle of the decade.[6]
During the Jihad Achernar also expanded the Albion Advanced Technologies and Products facility and their MiningMech facility on Cahokia to produce the Legionnaire medium BattleMech.[4][7] The Cahokia facility lost approximately one-third of its facility and personnel, but they were producing the Legionnaire at three-quarters of their pre-Jihad volume.[5]
Leadership
The companies CEO in 3025 is Countess Rodina Achernar[2], she is followed in 3067 by Paul LeBeau.[1]
Other Divisions
As mentioned earlier, Achernar BattleMechs has four other divisions. These divisions provide 75% of the company's profit and revenue. They are:
- Achernar Defense Technologies - Produces military and paramilitary communications, electronics, and weapons.
- Albion Advanced Technologies and Products - Produces Battle Armor
- Achernar Heavy Industries - Produces manufacturing equipment and civilian vehicles.
- New Avalon Fusion Products - Produces fusion and conventional engines for military and civilian use.[1]
Manufacturing
Achernar BattleMechs has manufacturing centers on the following planets:
Achernar
Achernar BattleMechs maintained a factory named the West Fabrication Facility on Achernar which for a long time was a producer of IndustrialMechs. When the Word of Blake captured Achernar it rebuilt some of the production lines within the West Fabrication Facility to produce either (or both of) the OSP-25 Osprey or OSP-26 Osprey BattleMech.[8][9] The West Fabrication Facility was completely destroyed in June 3077 when the Achernar Protectorate Militia ignored the surrender issued by the planetary governor to the allied coalition forces and instead dug in around the plant, forcing the task force on the Federated Suns front of Operation SCOUR to root the militia out from amidst the factory complexes, levelling the factory in the process.[10]
The site of the Achernar plant was redeveloped in the wake of the Jihad, with the vehicle manufacturer Valiant Systems construction a factory in the refurbished and rebuilt remains of the Achernar BattleMechs West Fabrication Facility.[11]
