==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
− | + | In July [[2182]], Irian Technologies was founded on the planet [[Irian]] as [[United Fiber Optics]], then a manufacturer of underwater communications cables. It soon expanded into mining and raw materials production and had become Irian Technologies by the time Irian joined the Free Worlds League.<ref name=HM127/> After [[2255]], IrTech had become the de facto government of the planet.<ref>''Turning Points: Irian'', p. 5</ref> | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | == | + | The firm grew even more with the rise of [[BattleMech]] technology, being involved in the first domestic production League BattleMechs. At their Soapstone Mountain BattleMech plant they would produce the ''[[Hermes]]'' and ''[[Guillotine]]'' designs.<ref name=HM127/> |
− | The | + | |
+ | In [[2698]], IrTech expanded into weapons manufacture, sensor technology, and aerospace technology, opening new facilities in the [[Duchy of Andurien]]. At the onset of the [[First Succession War]] IrTech operated 87 production and laboratory facilities, but they became prime targets and less than a fifth survived the war. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In [[3014]]—during the early stages of the [[Marik Civil War (31st c.)|Marik Civil War]]—Duke [[Anton Marik]]'s special operations forces together with disgruntled workers took control of the Soapstone Mountain BattleMech plant on Irian, which had been producing ''Hermes'' and ''Guillotine'' 'Mechs, and implicitly also ''[[Archer]]'' and ''[[Wasp]]'' designs,<ref name=HM127/> as part of Anton's effort to gain control of key industries.<ref>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 23</ref> The [[First Marik Militia]], reluctant to damage the factory, initially isolated it and tried to negotiate; however, when [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Janos Marik]] demanded an immediate resolution to the situation on Irian the First staged an assault<ref>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 27</ref> where the rebels' defense efforts effectively razed the factory.<ref>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 27: "Heavy damage" while ''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 127: The factory was "virtually razed"</ref> Dame [[Catherine Humphreys]] of [[Andurien]] poured considerable funds into its reconstruction; [[Sigmund Hughes]], whose mistress [[Louise Humphreys]] was a daughter of Dame Catherine Humphreys, became president of the [[Irian BattleMechs Unlimited]] division of IrTech and oversaw the reconstruction, which was completed within less than three years. It would resume production of ''[[Hermes II]]'' 'Mechs after the rebuild.<ref name=HM127/> According to a [[ComStar]] dossier, the credit for rebuilding the factory should have gone to two mysterious techs who spearheaded the effort and whose names were given as [[Nkrumah Blake]] and [[Gowarjapul Campion]].<ref name=HM127/> | ||
+ | |||
+ | In 3053, the famous [[Floating Tower]], [[Federated-Boeing Interstellar]]'s corporate HQ in the [[Galax]] system, was raided by an unknown force. Shortly after, Irian Technologies began producing an identical upgrade of the ''[[Leopard (DropShip class)|Leopard]]''-class [[DropShip]]. Federated-Boeing filed protests with the Federated Commonwealth and [[ComStar]], but nothing came of it.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3057 Revised'', p. 12</ref> | ||
+ | |||
+ | The company was quite diversified, owners of other firms such as [[Irian Cosmetics]] by [[3070]].<ref name=Regulus>''Regulus' Most Beautiful Woman!''</ref> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Between [[3067]] and [[3072]], Irian Technologies maintained a neutral stance towards the [[Word of Blake]]. This worked to IrTech's advantage: Where other manufacturers were destroyed by the [[Jihad]], IrTech was able to survive and even succeed. When the tide turned against the Blakists, however, IrTech found that their neutrality cost them many favors and (more importantly) customers, leaving the Word of Blake as their largest customer. The Word ruthlessly pushed this advantage, and by 3072 the Word of Blake controlled Irian Technologies.<ref name=M&M76>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 76: "Irian Technologies Profile"</ref> | ||
+ | |||
+ | In 3072, Irian Technologies' newest prototype crashed, resulting in the death of longtime test pilot Jake "Flash" Wagner. The SBA-4S ''[[Sea Bass]]'' flying submersible was Irian's latest vision of the future, allowing one vehicle to patrol the sky and the ocean.<ref name=Irian_Prototype>''Irian Prototype Crashes, Pilot Perishes''</ref> | ||
+ | |||
+ | The resulting internal turmoil as the company's leadership struggled to find a way out of their desperate straits effectively shattered the company into smaller pieces. Some newly held companies located in the Lyran Alliance sided with the Blakists. On Irian, the company leadership put their full weight behind the resistance, leading to a liberated planet, while the rest of the company seemed to be stuck, floundering for a successful strategy.<ref name=M&M76/> When the Blakists were forced to retreat from Irian on 8 December they resorted to using scorched earth tactics to cover their withdrawal, targeting a number of IrTech facilities with tactical nuclear devices as they went.<ref name="JHS:Tp19">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 19: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp55">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 55: "The Jihad in Review"</ref> | ||
+ | |||
+ | In [[3079]], most of Irian's production was being commandeered by the [[Third Free Worlds Legionnaires]] so they could rebuild.<ref>''Field Report: FWLM'', p. 14</ref> | ||
+ | |||
+ | By [[3081]], Irian was expanding its exports in an effort to make up for huge corporate losses, with those satellite factories that survived the corporation turning against the Word of Blake continuing to supply the [[Marik Commonwealth]] with a trickle of [[FWLM]] staple units. However, production was still far below that of the original parent plants.<ref name="J:FRp93">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 93: "Marik Commonwealth"</ref> <!-- ERRATAED OUT They also maintained a repair and refit center on [[Angell II]]<ref>''Objectives: Free Worlds League'', p. 10</ref> and [[Washburn]].<ref>''Objectives: Free Worlds League'', p. 11</ref> --> | ||
+ | |||
+ | In early to mid [[thirty-second century]], various Irian Technologies planets would turn to start supplying their "native" Duchies and other nation states of the fragmented League.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Free Worlds League'', p. 38: Stalker II - Background history of the Stalker II shows example of Andurien-based Irian production plant producing for approved allies of Andurien</ref> | ||
+ | |||
+ | By [[3133]], Irian Technologies was able to exert its influence to recover control of Irian, which had been lost when the system was ceded to the [[Republic of the Sphere]].<ref>''Turning Points: Irian'', p. 5</ref> In that same year the company's security forces defended the world against strikes from multiple factions of the disintegrating Republic of the Sphere. Eventually the company formed a long-term alliance with the [[Dragon's Fury]],<ref>''Turning Points: Irian'', p. 9</ref> and integrated their self-defense units into a new planetary defense force that combined Dragon's Fury commanders with the IrTech security teams and Irian planetary militia.<ref name=TPI10>''Turning Points: Irian'', p. 10</ref> Between 3133 and 3135 Irian Technologies factories on Irian suffered heavy damage.<ref name=TPI10/> | ||

A powerful industrial conglomerate based on Irian in the Free Worlds League, Irian Technologies (IrTech) maintained Irian BattleMechs Unlimited, IMB Systems, Irian PersArms,[3] and Irian Naval Systems as some of its principal divisions.[1]
Contents
Overview
In July 2182, Irian Technologies was founded on the planet Irian as United Fiber Optics, then a manufacturer of underwater communications cables. It soon expanded into mining and raw materials production and had become Irian Technologies by the time Irian joined the Free Worlds League.[1] After 2255, IrTech had become the de facto government of the planet.[4]
The firm grew even more with the rise of BattleMech technology, being involved in the first domestic production League BattleMechs. At their Soapstone Mountain BattleMech plant they would produce the Hermes and Guillotine designs.[1]
In 2698, IrTech expanded into weapons manufacture, sensor technology, and aerospace technology, opening new facilities in the Duchy of Andurien. At the onset of the First Succession War IrTech operated 87 production and laboratory facilities, but they became prime targets and less than a fifth survived the war.
In 3014—during the early stages of the Marik Civil War—Duke Anton Marik's special operations forces together with disgruntled workers took control of the Soapstone Mountain BattleMech plant on Irian, which had been producing Hermes and Guillotine 'Mechs, and implicitly also Archer and Wasp designs,[1] as part of Anton's effort to gain control of key industries.[5] The First Marik Militia, reluctant to damage the factory, initially isolated it and tried to negotiate; however, when Captain-General Janos Marik demanded an immediate resolution to the situation on Irian the First staged an assault[6] where the rebels' defense efforts effectively razed the factory.[7] Dame Catherine Humphreys of Andurien poured considerable funds into its reconstruction; Sigmund Hughes, whose mistress Louise Humphreys was a daughter of Dame Catherine Humphreys, became president of the Irian BattleMechs Unlimited division of IrTech and oversaw the reconstruction, which was completed within less than three years. It would resume production of Hermes II 'Mechs after the rebuild.[1] According to a ComStar dossier, the credit for rebuilding the factory should have gone to two mysterious techs who spearheaded the effort and whose names were given as Nkrumah Blake and Gowarjapul Campion.[1]
In 3053, the famous Floating Tower, Federated-Boeing Interstellar's corporate HQ in the Galax system, was raided by an unknown force. Shortly after, Irian Technologies began producing an identical upgrade of the Leopard-class DropShip. Federated-Boeing filed protests with the Federated Commonwealth and ComStar, but nothing came of it.[8]
The company was quite diversified, owners of other firms such as Irian Cosmetics by 3070.[9]
Between 3067 and 3072, Irian Technologies maintained a neutral stance towards the Word of Blake. This worked to IrTech's advantage: Where other manufacturers were destroyed by the Jihad, IrTech was able to survive and even succeed. When the tide turned against the Blakists, however, IrTech found that their neutrality cost them many favors and (more importantly) customers, leaving the Word of Blake as their largest customer. The Word ruthlessly pushed this advantage, and by 3072 the Word of Blake controlled Irian Technologies.[10]
In 3072, Irian Technologies' newest prototype crashed, resulting in the death of longtime test pilot Jake "Flash" Wagner. The SBA-4S Sea Bass flying submersible was Irian's latest vision of the future, allowing one vehicle to patrol the sky and the ocean.[11]
The resulting internal turmoil as the company's leadership struggled to find a way out of their desperate straits effectively shattered the company into smaller pieces. Some newly held companies located in the Lyran Alliance sided with the Blakists. On Irian, the company leadership put their full weight behind the resistance, leading to a liberated planet, while the rest of the company seemed to be stuck, floundering for a successful strategy.[10] When the Blakists were forced to retreat from Irian on 8 December they resorted to using scorched earth tactics to cover their withdrawal, targeting a number of IrTech facilities with tactical nuclear devices as they went.[12][13]
In 3079, most of Irian's production was being commandeered by the Third Free Worlds Legionnaires so they could rebuild.[14]
By 3081, Irian was expanding its exports in an effort to make up for huge corporate losses, with those satellite factories that survived the corporation turning against the Word of Blake continuing to supply the Marik Commonwealth with a trickle of FWLM staple units. However, production was still far below that of the original parent plants.[15]
In early to mid thirty-second century, various Irian Technologies planets would turn to start supplying their "native" Duchies and other nation states of the fragmented League.[16]
By 3133, Irian Technologies was able to exert its influence to recover control of Irian, which had been lost when the system was ceded to the Republic of the Sphere.[17] In that same year the company's security forces defended the world against strikes from multiple factions of the disintegrating Republic of the Sphere. Eventually the company formed a long-term alliance with the Dragon's Fury,[18] and integrated their self-defense units into a new planetary defense force that combined Dragon's Fury commanders with the IrTech security teams and Irian planetary militia.[19] Between 3133 and 3135 Irian Technologies factories on Irian suffered heavy damage.[19]

Irian Technologies had multiple holdings on Irian, including a Soapstone Mountain plant[23] and a complex in Kentwood.[24] In 3091, following a negative evaluation of the in-development WSP-3X Wasp, the Republic shut down the Soapstone Mountain plant in the name of disarmament.[25][23]
Caractacus Industries was a wholly owned subsidiary with an automated plant on Prospero, Irian's moon.[26]
