Achernar BattleMechs is a BattleMech manufacturer located in the Federated Suns.

Overview

Located in Ith on the FedSun'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 in 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. [1]

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 through the campaign.[2]
