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

Overview

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.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. Bergan’s Corporate Executives have high-hopes that their recently acquired license to produce Earthwerks’ 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 360s 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 Homeworld supply trains.

Bringing with them more advanced facilities during the creation of the Ghost Bear Dominion, the Bergan Industries Alshain continues to specialize in production of standard rather than OmniMechs.
