Though Ms. Suliben was uncertain of this investment, the FedCom government promised loan guarantees, government orders, and a license for any and all 'Mechs produced at the facility. With those tempting offers, J.B. BattleMechs began overhauling the production lines on Pandora. Though [[Clan Jade Falcon]] took the world and the plant, rendering most of the investment a waste, the Lyran Alliance government came through on the contracts for production they had promised. Orders for 'Mechs that were originally to be produced at Pandora flooded into the Storfors plant. This increased demand has resulted in a hiring spree at J.B. BattleMechs, as the company works feverishly to meet the demand.<ref name="hbs144"/>

Overview

J.B. BattleMechs Incorporated was created in 3053 by Jilliane Suliben, an entrepreneur whose family was killed during the Clan Invasion. Ms. Suliben purchased the molds and plans for the Chameleon training 'Mech from Defiance Industries, and refurbished an ancient production line on Storfors. The first production run of Chameleons was completed in 3056, and using the knowledge gained by retrofitting the line, J.B. BattleMechs began producing the Dragon Fire heavy 'Mech shortly thereafter.[1]

In the 3060's, the Federated Commonwealth government requested that J.B. BattleMechs work on the Red Devil Industries Pandora plant. Though Ms. Suliben was uncertain of this investment, the FedCom government promised loan guarantees, government orders, and a license for any and all 'Mechs produced at the facility. With those tempting offers, J.B. BattleMechs began overhauling the production lines on Pandora. Though Clan Jade Falcon took the world and the plant, rendering most of the investment a waste, the Lyran Alliance government came through on the contracts for production they had promised. Orders for 'Mechs that were originally to be produced at Pandora flooded into the Storfors plant. This increased demand has resulted in a hiring spree at J.B. BattleMechs, as the company works feverishly to meet the demand.[1]

During the Jihad, investigators discovered that the Word of Blake had invested heavily in J.B. BattleMechs. The Lyran Alliance removed J.B. BattleMechs from the Lyran stock exchange. In the late 3070's a consortium of local investors was able to purchase the company outright from Jerome's Trust, a Lyran government holding company dedicated to selling off all Blakist assets in the Commonwealth.[2]

The Storfors plant sustained some damage to itself during the Jihad. Approximately 20% of the factory lines and personnel were lost in the conflict, but by 3079 the plant was operating at 70% of its pre-Jihad levels.[3]

In 3067 the companies CEO is Landgrave Jillianne Suliben.[1]
