Overview

The Clan Ghost Bear were not really impressed when they captured the planet Spittal. Having seen the Benson and Bjorn vehicle production plant they felt that the plant was too crude for Clan standards. The Bear's continuing their production line, but they had no plans to bring the plant up to Clan technology standards.[1] However, during the later part of the Jihad the now Ghost Bear Dominion needed produce more traditional vehicle for its KungsArmé Galaxies. The Clan's merchant caste then invested money to bring tech abilites to produce Clan grade vehicles starting with the Axel IIC.[2] In later stages of the Jihad, Benson and Bjorn would gander success improving their vehicle designs. However, the company began to clash with Scientist Caste who saw the success of upgraded Inner Sphere designs as darnish against their honor. They would use forcefully commission B&B to produce the Vidar Heavy Defense Tank, which would turn out to be inferior to previous designs the company had produced.[3]
