Overview

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.[citation needed]
