Ceres Metals Corporate Logo

Founded in 2415, Ceres Metals Industries is one of the most successful conglomerates in the Inner Sphere. It has invested in widely diverse fields, from personal armaments to the civilian ground vehicles produced by Ceres Motors. They are best known however, as a military armaments manufacturer.[1]

With over 500 facilities on over hundred worlds, the massive Ceres Metals Industries was one the first developers of BattleMech technology and the cornerstone of military hardware manufacture in the Capellan Confederation. Today their flagship design (the Vindicator) has become synonymous with the Capellan Confederation Armed Forces.

Overview

With its main headquarters are on Capella, with major divisions on Coventry, Dorwinion, Elidor, Kimball, Sarna and Ward, Ceres maintains its neutrality by supplying arms and equipment to any organization which can meet its prices.

When Ceres Metals Industries first constructed their facilities on Warlock, they were able to rely heavily on imports from the Federated Suns. With the reunification of St. Ives and the Confederation, the facility had to be expanded to produce equipment which could no longer be purchased from the Capellan March.[citation needed]

The Ceres Metals plant on St.Ives has seen several significant changeovers in recent years. First was the conversion of it's 'Mech line from producing the Confederation's staple Vindicator to the BJ-3 Blackjack when the St.Ives Commonality broke away from the Confederation as the St Ives Compact. Now following the reunification of St.Ives with the Capellan state, the line has been converted again, this time to produce different variants of the Phoenix Hawk. Finally, continued demand for the BJ-3 design resulted in production of the venerable design being restored for limited runs.[citation needed]

In 3076 the CEO of Ceres Metals Industries was Duchess Evadne Rivoli.[2]
