Arc-Royal MechWorks

Template:InfoBoxManufacturer

Arc-Royal MechWorks is a BattleMech manufacturer on Arc-Royal for the Kell Hounds mercenary unit.

Overview

Like many minor 'Mech repair facilities, the Arc-Royal MechWorks, known as the "Eire MechWorks of Arc-Royal" or "Eire BattleMech Company of Arc-Royal" until the late 3050s, benefitted from the return and increasing availability of Lostech to become a full BattleMech manufacturer, giving the Kell Hounds mercenary unit a level of self-sufficiency comparable to that enjoyed by the Wolf's Dragoons.[1] The MechWorks also benefited from the residence of Clan Wolf-in-Exile on Arc-Royal. Trade arrangements between the planet's Inner Sphere and Clan facilities ensured the supply of components that the other lacked. Most notably, Arc-Royal MechWorks receives Inner Sphere-grade Endo Steel from the Wolves-in-Exile mobile orbital factories.[2]

During the Jihad the factory lost 40% of its personnel and infrastructure. By 3079 it was producing at 80% of its pre-Jihad output.[3] Apparently, the Verfolger line was among the 20% that was not repaired in 3079 as it was not listed among the models in production.[4]

Leadership

In 3067 the company's CEO is Clovis Holstein.[2]

Notes

  • There are ambigous references that seem to indicate that the Eire BattleMech Company of Arc-Royal used to build BattleMechs; in particular, in the short story Vanish Morgan Kell recalls watching BattleMechs walking off the line in his youth. Line Developer Herbert A. Beas II clarified in a canonical ruling[25] that Eire just produced "parts of nondescript use, but vital to maintaining operational 'Mech units", and that Morgan Kell just saw 'Mechs refurbished with parts from the site. No manufacture of full 'Mechs began on Arc-Royal until later.
