Gorton, Kingsley, and Thorpe Enterprises began life as a law firm headquartered on [[Rasalhague]].<ref name=M&M109/> In a bitter corporate struggle that almost bankrupted both firms, GKT entered the weapons industry in around [[2975]] by acquiring [[Alshain Weapons]]' plants on [[Alshain]] and [[New Oslo]]—which manufactured the ''[[Panther]]'' and other related weaponry—along with [[BattleMech]] production facilities elsewhere such as on [[Jarett]]. Production had steadily increased, and by [[3025]], GKT had planned to create three additional ''Panther'' factories despite shortages of the Cat's Eye 5 [[targeting-tracking system]] and the Sipher CommCon CSU-4 [[communications system]].<ref name=HKDCp136>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 136: "Weapons Industries - [Gorton, Kinsley, and Thorpe Enterprises]"</ref>

GK&T Enterprises acquired [[Alshain Weapons]], manufacturers of the Panther, circa [[2975]] in a bitter corporate struggle that almost bankrupted both firms. Since then, production of the Panther 'Mech increased yearly. In fact, in [[3025]] plans, GK&T intended to create three more Panther factories in the next five years. The destruction of the facilities that produced the Cat¡s Eye 5 Targeting and Tracking System and the Sipher CommCon CSU-4 Communications System might have limited production, however.<ref name=HKDCp136>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 136 "Gorton, Kinsley, and Thorpe Enterprises"</ref>

After the [[Ronin War]], GKT jump-started the [[Free Rasalhague Republic]]'s economy by selling off most of their military production lines, with [[Bergan Industries]] acquiring both of the former Alshain Weapons plants on Alshain and New Oslo. This investment in smaller firms stimulated the economy of several planets and provided a huge public relations coup for GKT.<ref name=M&M109/> Meanwhile, GKT also began construction of a second BattleMech facility on [[Rasalhague]] to be completed by [[3051]].<ref name=20YUp50>''20 Year Update'', p. 50: "Defense Industry"</ref>

Since taking control of the lion's share of the FRR, [[Clan Ghost Bear]] had done their utmost to integrate with the occupied populace as much as possible. Although GKT factories on [[Satalice]] seemed of dubious value to the [[Clan]]'s [[Clan Ghost Bear Touman|''touman'']], they continued to train the workers there to Clan manufacturing standards, meanwhile accepting modest numbers of the factory's original products for use as training 'Mechs and to be issued to the lowest of garrison and ''solahma'' troops.{{cn}}

Since taking control of the lion’s share of the [[Free Rasalhague Republic]], [[Clan Ghost Bear]] has done their utmost to integrate as much as possible with the occupied populace. Although such factories as Gorton, Kingsley and Thorpe on [[Satalice]] might seem of dubious value to the Clan’s touman, Clan Ghost Bear continues to train the workers here and hope to be able to have them trained to manufacture up to [[Clan]] standards soon. Until then, they continue to accept modest numbers of the factory’s original products for use as training ‘Mechs and to be issued to the lowest of garrison and solahma troops.

As GKT had connections and partnerships with so many civilian manufacturing concerns, the Ghost Bear merchant caste had integrated their employees and executives to better tie into the culture of the former Rasalhague Republic.<ref name=M&M109/>

Gorton, Kingsley, and Thorpe Enterprises (GKT) was a large conglomerate that acquired over a hundred companies and manufacturers across the Inner Sphere.[1]

Overview[edit]

Gorton, Kingsley, and Thorpe Enterprises began life as a law firm headquartered on Rasalhague.[1] In a bitter corporate struggle that almost bankrupted both firms, GKT entered the weapons industry in around 2975 by acquiring Alshain Weapons' plants on Alshain and New Oslo—which manufactured the Panther and other related weaponry—along with BattleMech production facilities elsewhere such as on Jarett. Production had steadily increased, and by 3025, GKT had planned to create three additional Panther factories despite shortages of the Cat's Eye 5 targeting-tracking system and the Sipher CommCon CSU-4 communications system.[3]

After the Ronin War, GKT jump-started the Free Rasalhague Republic's economy by selling off most of their military production lines, with Bergan Industries acquiring both of the former Alshain Weapons plants on Alshain and New Oslo. This investment in smaller firms stimulated the economy of several planets and provided a huge public relations coup for GKT.[1] Meanwhile, GKT also began construction of a second BattleMech facility on Rasalhague to be completed by 3051.[4]

Since taking control of the lion's share of the FRR, Clan Ghost Bear had done their utmost to integrate with the occupied populace as much as possible. Although GKT factories on Satalice seemed of dubious value to the Clan's touman, they continued to train the workers there to Clan manufacturing standards, meanwhile accepting modest numbers of the factory's original products for use as training 'Mechs and to be issued to the lowest of garrison and solahma troops.[citation needed]

As GKT had connections and partnerships with so many civilian manufacturing concerns, the Ghost Bear merchant caste had integrated their employees and executives to better tie into the culture of the former Rasalhague Republic.[1]

GKT had factories on Holmsbu and Radstadt by 3076.[1] During the Jihad, neither the Rasalhague nor Satalice facilities lost any personnel. Both facilities were operating at three-quarters of their maximum output in 3079.[5]
