Defiance Motors was a division of Defiance Industries.
Overview
Defiance Motors was created when Defiance Industries ran into problems getting the engines they needed for their products. They later expanded into combat vehicle production.[citation needed]
During the Jihad, the Tharkad facility was heavily damaged and many of its employees were killed in the fighting. The losses were estimated to reach 80%. As of 3079, the factory was only running at 40% of its pre-Jihad output. The losses at the facility had also greatly hampered production at the company's remaining sites, as Defiance Motors was a key supplier of engines for the facilities on Hesperus II and Furillo.[2] The factory on Gibbs may have been destroyed or purchased by one of the neighboring industries as it isn't listed as being active in 3079.[3]
