'''Bergan Industries''' in a [[BattleMech]] manufacturer best known for designing the ubiquitous ''[[Locust]]''.

==Overview==
 +
The Bergan Industries facilities on [[New Earth]] were an advanced manufacturing facility, producing such equipment as the Royal variant of the venerable ''[[Locust]]'' BattleMech for the [[Star League Defense Force]].<ref name="FSWp154">''First Succession War'', p. 154: "LCT-1E Locust"</ref> In early July [[2788]], ex-SLDF forces loyal to [[Jerome Blake]] and [[ComStar]] raided New Earth as a part of [[Operation SILVER SHIELD]] to secure valuable data and equipment from the former SLDF headquarters on the planet, and as a precursor to expanding SILVER SHIELD into the annexation of the remaining Hegemony systems that hadn't yet been swallowed up by the Great Houses. Although the eruption of the [[First Succession War]] forced Blake to abandon his plans, the local militia had welcomed the ComStar forces and helped them strip the SLDF facilities on New Earth of advanced equipment.<ref name="FSWp51">''First Succession War'', pp. 51–52: "Aftermath"</ref> Among the complexes stripped of advanced technology was the Bergan Industries plant, ending production of the Royal ''Locust''.<ref name="FSWp154"/>
 +
 
 +
The [[Ares (system)|Ares]] facility in the [[Capellan Confederation]] was a rather mundane [[BattleMech#Light|light]] 'Mech factory until it was selected as the test-site for refining the stable [[Triple Strength Myomer]] during its reconstruction after the [[Fourth Succession War]]. They were the first company in the Capellan Confederation to begin production of the stable version of this myomer.<ref name=H:HLp72>''Handbook: House Liao'', p. 72: "Ares" planet profile</ref> Once a major player in military production throughout the Inner Sphere, the Succession Wars were cruel to Bergan Industries. By the end of the Succession Wars Bergan's plant on Ares was unable to produce anything larger than the smallest scout 'Mechs.<ref name=H:HLp133/>
 +
 
 +
Bergan's corporate executives had high hopes that their acquired license to produce Earthwerks' [[Stinger|STG-6L ''Stinger'']] would help turn their company around. No longer needing to produce jump jets for their own products, the entirety of Bergan Industries' output of [[Chilton 360]]s were sold to [[Shengli Arms]] for use on their ''[[Duan Gung]]''.{{cn}}

After the [[Ronin War]], Bergan Industries purchased [[Gorton, Kingsley, and Thorpe Enterprises]]' [[New Oslo]] facility.<ref>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 109: "Gorton, Kingsley, and Thorpe Enterprises profile"</ref>

Bergan’s Corporate Executives have high hopes that their recently acquired license to produce Earthwerks’ [[Stinger|STG-6L Stinger]] may help turn their company around. No longer needing to produce jump jets for their own products, the entirety of Bergan Industries’ output of [[Chilton 360]]s are sold to [[Shengli Arms]] for use on their [[Duan Gung]].

The [[Alshain]] factory suffered a much different fate when it was captured by [[Clan Ghost Bear]] during the [[Clan Invasion]]. While the [[Draconis Combine]] were mostly successful in their attempt to destroy the plant before being pushed off-world, the Bears quickly rebuilt and restored the ''Locust'' line to production. Pathetic by [[Clan]] standards, as the Bears stepped up their efforts to integrate and move wholesale into the [[Inner Sphere]]. The site was selected for the production of new second-line designs combining Clan and Inner Sphere technology to reduce strain on lengthy [[Clan Homeworlds|Clan Homeworld]] supply trains.

Bringing with them more advanced facilities during the creation of the [[Ghost Bear Dominion]], the Alshain plant benefited greatly when Alshain was named the new capital world of the Dominion. Prior to that act, the Clan-held Bergan Industries branches were unable to remain competitive as their main suppliers were now in enemy territory. After Alshain became the capital world of the Dominion, the Merchant Caste invested heavily in the facility. The new production modules the Clans provided allowed the Alshain branch to produce the ''[[Executioner (Gladiator)|Gladiator]]'' OmniMech and Golem assault armor, as well as the second line 'Mechs they had been producing. By [[3068]], the Alshain facility was producing 28% of the Dominion's BattleMechs.<ref name=M&MTSDp108>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 108: "Corporations of the Ghost Bear Dominion - [Bergman Industries]</ref>

The campaign to liberate [[New Earth]] during [[Operation SCOUR]] was particularly destructive, both in the ground battles and as a result of orbital bombardments. The defending Word of Blake forces ensured that little industry remained after their defeat, making it extremely likely that the Bergan Industries facility on New Earth was destroyed.<ref name="J:FRp107">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 107: "Blake/Terran Protectorate"</ref>

Bergan Industries became a huge part of the Ghost Bear's industrial base. They invested heavily in the company, and this investment allowed Bergan to expand into some other realms.

Bergan Industries was a BattleMech manufacturer best known for designing the ubiquitous Locust.

Overview

The Bergan Industries facilities on New Earth were an advanced manufacturing facility, producing such equipment as the Royal variant of the venerable Locust BattleMech for the Star League Defense Force.[2] In early July 2788, ex-SLDF forces loyal to Jerome Blake and ComStar raided New Earth as a part of Operation SILVER SHIELD to secure valuable data and equipment from the former SLDF headquarters on the planet, and as a precursor to expanding SILVER SHIELD into the annexation of the remaining Hegemony systems that hadn't yet been swallowed up by the Great Houses. Although the eruption of the First Succession War forced Blake to abandon his plans, the local militia had welcomed the ComStar forces and helped them strip the SLDF facilities on New Earth of advanced equipment.[3] Among the complexes stripped of advanced technology was the Bergan Industries plant, ending production of the Royal Locust.[2]

The Ares facility in the Capellan Confederation was a rather mundane light 'Mech factory until it was selected as the test-site for refining the stable Triple Strength Myomer during its reconstruction after the Fourth Succession War. They were the first company in the Capellan Confederation to begin production of the stable version of this myomer.[4] Once a major player in military production throughout the Inner Sphere, the Succession Wars were cruel to Bergan Industries. By the end of the Succession Wars Bergan's plant on Ares was unable to produce anything larger than the smallest scout 'Mechs.[1]

Bergan's corporate executives had high hopes that their acquired license to produce Earthwerks' STG-6L Stinger would help turn their company around. No longer needing to produce jump jets for their own products, the entirety of Bergan Industries' output of Chilton 360s were sold to Shengli Arms for use on their Duan Gung.[citation needed]

After the Ronin War, Bergan Industries purchased Gorton, Kingsley, and Thorpe Enterprises' New Oslo facility.[5]

The Alshain factory suffered a much different fate when it was captured by Clan Ghost Bear during the Clan Invasion. While the Draconis Combine were mostly successful in their attempt to destroy the plant before being pushed off-world, the Bears quickly rebuilt and restored the Locust line to production. Pathetic by Clan standards, as the Bears stepped up their efforts to integrate and move wholesale into the Inner Sphere. The site was selected for the production of new second-line designs combining Clan and Inner Sphere technology to reduce strain on lengthy Clan Homeworld supply trains.

Bringing with them more advanced facilities during the creation of the Ghost Bear Dominion, the Alshain plant benefited greatly when Alshain was named the new capital world of the Dominion. Prior to that act, the Clan-held Bergan Industries branches were unable to remain competitive as their main suppliers were now in enemy territory. After Alshain became the capital world of the Dominion, the Merchant Caste invested heavily in the facility. The new production modules the Clans provided allowed the Alshain branch to produce the Gladiator OmniMech and Golem assault armor, as well as the second line 'Mechs they had been producing. By 3068, the Alshain facility was producing 28% of the Dominion's BattleMechs.[6]

By 3076, Alshain BattleWorx was a subsidiary of Bergan Industries. After the Ghost Bears absorbed the Free Rasalhague Republic, Bergan Industries opened new plants on Thule and Rasalhague.[6]

The campaign to liberate New Earth during Operation SCOUR was particularly destructive, both in the ground battles and as a result of orbital bombardments. The defending Word of Blake forces ensured that little industry remained after their defeat, making it extremely likely that the Bergan Industries facility on New Earth was destroyed.[7]

Bergan Industries became a huge part of the Ghost Bear's industrial base. They invested heavily in the company, and this investment allowed Bergan to expand into some other realms.

Manufacturing

Bergan Industries has manufacturing centers on the following planets:

Alshain

Note: During the Jihad this plant didn't lose any personnel and was operating at 90% of its maximum output in 3079.[8]
