−	One of the relatively new BattleMech manufacturers to spring up after the signing of the [[Truce of Tukayyid]], [[Blackstone Industries]] announced they'd formed a BattleMech division in [[3053]] after signing a production license with the [[Federated Commonwealth]] government for the ''[[Enfield]]'', an unproduced [[Star League era]] design, with the first finished 'Mechs emerging in July [[3055]].<ref name=H:HSp141/>	+	One of the relatively new BattleMech manufacturers to spring up after the signing of the [[Truce of Tukayyid]], Blackstone Industries announced they'd formed a BattleMech division in [[3053]] after signing a production license with the [[Federated Commonwealth]] government for the ''Enfield'', an unproduced [[Star League era]] design, with the first finished 'Mechs emerging in July [[3055]].
−	After successfully completing the bulk of the first production run of the ''Enfield'' in [[3056]], Blackstone announced they had secured plans and a production license for the once popular and advanced ''[[Talon (BattleMech)|Talon]]''. Blackstone's luck in securing two major production contracts for the [[AFFC]], later the [[LAAF]] and [[AFFS]], has been a double-edged sword in making the company a big name overnight, but straining to hurriedly expand its limited production facilities and clear backlogged orders.<ref name=H:HSp141/>	+	After successfully completing the bulk of the first production run of the ''Enfield'' in [[3056]], Blackstone announced they had secured plans and a production license for the once popular and advanced ''[[Talon]]''.

−	Notably, the factory has close links with the [[Blackstone Highlanders]] [[mercenary unit]], created in [[2984]] to defend the interests of Blackstone Industries.

−	During the [[Jihad]], the Blackstone factory was not damaged, but production bottlenecks and damage to other facilities did affect production. By [[3079]], the factory was only at 75% of its pre-Jihad construction rate.<ref name=O:LAp3>''Objectives: Lyran Alliance'', p. 3: "State of the Industry at a Glance (Dec 3079)"</ref> Blackstone found itself in an invidious position; all of the production from their plant was going to the military of the [[Inarcs Archonette]], which at the end of the Jihad was refusing to return to the government the executive powers which had been handed to it, prompting rumors of imminent military action as the Lyran government reasserted control.<ref name="J:FRp85">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 85: "Coventry Province"</ref>	+	==Leadership==
