#REDIRECT [[Hellespont Industrials]]

The reborn [[BattleMech]] production division of mammoth [[Hellespont Industrials]], the '''Hellespont 'Mech Works''' is one of the most advanced 'Mech production facilities within the [[Capellan Confederation]].
 +
 
 +
==Overview==
 +
Hellespont Industrials was at one time the second largest manufacturer of weapons in the Confederation, giving [[Earthwerks Incorporated|Earthwerks Ltd.]] strong competition for critical BattleMech production contracts. However at the height of the [[Succession Wars]], [[Marik]] and [[Kurita]] attacks all but wiped out this firm's 'Mech production capabilities. In an effort to avoid total ruin, Hellespont relocated its remaining factory workers and production equipment on the more easily defensible capital of the [[Sian Commonality]] [[Sian]], settling on the construction of less expensive and more easily constructable [[Combat Vehicle]]s, becoming the single largest producer of such vehicles in the Capellan state. The company, however, never forgot its role and during the end of [[Third Succession War]] had again taken on 'Mech research and development, primarily the salvaging and improvement of captured 'Mechs but also the development of the ''[[Raven]]'' electronic warfare 'Mech.
 +
 
 +
With the loss of yet further Liao BattleMech production facilities during the [[Fourth Succession War]] and the technology boom brought about by the discovery of the [[Helm Memory Core]], Hellespont received a large portion of the scant funds and resources available in the Confederation to expand its facilities and re-introduced advanced [[lostech]]. Just prior to the [[Clan Invasion]], the company began production of a modernized ''Raven'', after its success Hellespont used the the well-received and popular ECM 'Mech as the basis for new designs using [[Stealth Armor]] and [[OmniMech|modular Omni-Pod]] technology. Hellespont also produces a large portion of the advanced armor, chassis and equipment used in other modern Liao 'Mech and vehicle designs.
