'''Hollis Incorporated''' began as a military supplier for the [[Terran Hegemony]]. Their first attempt at a BattleMech was the successful ''[[Catapult]]'' in [[2561]] and the windfalls from it, sometimes under the table to the [[Great Houses]], allowed them to try something revolutionary: ''[[Xanthos (BattleMech)|Xanthos]]'', the first quadrupedal unit. The prototype, however, had many engineering problems and the project was canceled by the [[Hegemony Armed Forces]].<ref name=ETO:Pv4p8/>
+
Another once-prosperous manufacturer almost bankrupted by the [[Succession Wars]], '''Hollis Incorporated''' produced such iconic Assault 'Mechs as the ''[[BattleMaster]]'' and the ''[[Highlander]]'' until a [[House Marik]] raid during the [[Second Succession War]] destroyed much of the factory. ''Hollis Incorporated'' had only barely begun to recover and was about to begin production of their first new BattleMech design in well over three-hundred years when forces of the [[CCAF]] overran [[Corey]] during [[Operation Guerrero]]. Hardly surprised by the turn of events, Hollis' Board of Directors had remained loyal to the Celestial Throne ever since the [[Fourth Succession War]], paying lip service to the Archon-Prince only to take advantage of military subsidies Hollis Inc used to rebuild their facilities.{{cn}}

Hollis found itself booming during the [[Jihad]], with the production facility on Corey serving as the closest major supplier to the front line between the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]] and the Confederation. The plants on Corey expanded, adding new production lines, only to then be hit by a raiding party of Blakist forces after the fall of [[Terra]]. Hollis was lucky that the mercenary unit the [[Hexare Grenadiers]] were undergoing repair and refit on Corey at the time - the Grenadiers were able to drive the Blakists off before the plant could be completely destroyed, but the extent of the damage hadn't been clarified as at mid-[[3081]].<ref name="J:FRp101">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 101, "Capellan Commonality"</ref>

In [[3067]], the board of directors had to occasionally rein in CEO [[Jason Hollis]] as his determination to return Hollis to glory sometimes led him to wild schemes.<ref name=H:HLp135/>
+
In [[3125]] the Corey plant was raided by elements of the [[8th Free Worlds Legionnaires]]. They seized tons of replacement parts for ''[[Catapult]]'' 'Mechs before leaving the world.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Free Worlds League'', p. 8</ref>
