==Manufacturing==
 
'''Grumman Industries''' was the company responsible for the design of the and production of the [[Zephyr (Combat Vehicle)|Zephyr]] hovertank for the [[Star League Defense Force]] during the [[Star League]] era. Grumman continued to supply [[ComStar]] with vehicles after the fall of the Star League, and when the [[Word of Blake]] seized control of [[Terra]] in the [[thirty-first century]] the Blakists continued to purchase vehicles from Grumman.<ref name="TRO:3050Up162">''Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade'', p. 162, "Zephyr"</ref>
 
  
The Word of Blake invested heavily in Grumman, providing capital for the company to both upgrade and expand their various vehicle production lines; almost the first of the orders placed by the Blakists on Grumman was for a revamped version of the Zephyr. The first of these new vehicles was seen in service at least as early as [[3062]], and following demonstrations of the vehicle to the [[Precentor]] of Terran Security Grumman were awarded a huge production contract.<ref name="TRO:3050Up162"/>

Components produced on [[Terra]]:
Orders from the Word of Blake for the new Zephyr vehicle proved to be so high that Grumman opened a new manufacturing plant in [[3066]], located on the nearby world of [[New Earth]]. The high volume of orders was a result of the Blakists first forming and then later expanding both [[Word of Blake Militia]] and [[Protectorate Militia]] forces.<ref name="TRO:3050Up162"/>

Dissidents within the Grumman-New Earth branch began to harbor doubts about the actions being taken by the Word of Blake outside of the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]], and in [[3071]] those dissidents began smuggling Zephyrs to enemies of the Protectorate, with figures as high up as Vice President [[Rudolph Brice]] assisting in the smuggling efforts. More than two hundred Zephyrs were smuggled out from the New Earth facility before the dissidents departed on a long "retreat" at Grumman's headquarters on Terra, and when the smuggling operations were uncovered the entire New Earth facility was placed under lockdown pending detailed investigations. Brice was targeted by a Word of Blake detainment team that raided Grumman's offices in the early 3070s; having been identified as being responsible for diverting Zephyrs to both black marketeers within the Word of Blake Protectorate and agents within the Skye region of the [[Lyran Alliance]], Brice narrowly escaped the detainment team and went on the run, with the Word of Blake placing a bounty of 75 million C-Bills on his head.<ref name="TRO:3050Up162"/>

Grumman Industries launched GrummanCRI in the late 3060s or early 3070s, a merger between Grumman and CRI Mechanical of the Lyran Alliance. GrummanCRI reinvigorated and revamped production of the [[Marksman (Combat Vehicle)|Marksman]] artillery vehicle from facilities on the Lyran world of [[Melissia]].<ref name=TRO3050U172/>
