Cosby BattleMech and Myomer Research Firm
Originally a technology research firm dedicated to studying new Myomer applications, Cosby Myomer Research Firm - (Cosby BattleMech Research Firm)'s success with Triple Strength Myomer and Battle Armor construction has catapulted into being a full-fledged military manufacturer, with several high-profile contracts with the DCMS.
Overview
Working in close cooperation with the ill-famed 11th Legion of Vega which are known for it's ex-commander Theodore Kurita, regiment, which also had a very competent techs and even full-blown research and design team[1], the factory has received thorough this a considerable quantity of the advanced technologies and the technical decisions, which allowed to transform own new-tech Myomer technologies into mighty No-Dachi Heavy BattleMech, in a exchange for half of all produced mechs.[2]
By taking funding from the Coordinator, CBR choose to make another, non-tainted by association with the Legion of Vega, (like a No-Dachi), 'mech, more fitting for picky, honor-obsessed units of the DCMS. By acquiring through hostile takeover a manufacturing rights to the Crusader mech, they made a complete restyling of the ancient machine, with a good success - their new mechs found a place into Sword of Light and Ryuken regiments.

Most of this slowdown has nothing to do with the factory production but the inability to efficiently ship the resulting 'Mechs out to the DCMS units on other worlds.[6]
