Revision as of 11:01, 12 March 2012
This article needs to be updated with material from House Liao (The Capellan Confederation), Handbook: House Liao. Once these titles clear the Moratorium period, or if they already have, please consider revisiting this article and updating it with the new material. |
Property "Update Needed From" (as page type) with input value "House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)]], [[Handbook: House Liao" contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process.
Originally 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 more than 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.
Contents
Overview
Ceres Metals was originally founded on Terra, with its headquarters in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Originally concerned only with mining raw materials, the company expanded into manufacturing until, by the time the Star League was founded, Ceres Metals was a major producer of JumpShips, DropShips and other hardware. It soon became heavily involved in trade, growing the company immensely and making many worlds dependent upon their JumpShip routes, and directly invested in the creation of new colonies in the Periphery. However, the majority of its industrial power was located within the Terran Hegemony which, during the Amaris Civil War and resulting Succession Wars, was largely destroyed, along with the Terra headquarters.[2][3]
Despite this setback, the company still had hundreds of facilities and operations spread throughout the Inner Sphere. The company moved its main headquarters to Capella, a former regional office established on May 14, 2415. Ceres Metals became the chief dealer of state securities between the Confederation, Free Worlds League and Draconis Combine. 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.[3]
Wolf's Dragoons were a major customer of Ceres' equipment in the years prior to the Fourth Succession War. [4]
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 the St. Ives Compact 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]
Leadership
In 2322 the company was under the joint leadership of two ruling families: the Kimball family of Terra and the Igota family of Thorin.[2]
In 3025 the companies CEO is Duke Kingston Rivoli.[3]
In 3076 the CEO of Ceres Metals Industries was Duchess Evadne Rivoli.[1]
