Jalastar Aerospace Manufacturer Logo

Jaslastar Aerospace is a military hardware manufacturer in the Federated Suns.

History

One of the major manufacturers of AeroSpace Fighters in the Federated Suns, Jalastar held a number of contracts for the manufacture of fighters for the SLDF's Regular Army since the earliest days of the Star League. The company, being located near the periphery of the FedSun's border with the Taurian Concordat, took advantage of the Reunification War to profit by selling equipment and supplies.[1]

Once the Star League fell, Jalastar was quick in providing the Sparrowhawk to the AFFS.[2]

In the 29th Century, Jalastar created its own security forces, the Jalastar Factory Defense Force, in order to strengthen its ability to defend against both pirate activity and Taurian raids, in the absence of defending AFFS forces.[1][3]

In 3025, the company had been thrown into a state of confusion. An unknown company, Federated-Boeing Interstellar being the primary suspect, had been buying up a significant amount of the corporation's controlling stocks. Efforts to prevent this hostile takeover drained the company's resources, complicating the completion of a new lighter engine it had been developing for its Sparrowhawk design.[2] It was later revealed that Federated-Boeing was the acquiring buyer that failed in taking control of Jalastar.[4]

By the mid-31st Century, the corporation has branched out to open a new production 'Mech division. In 3047, Coren Enterprises gave Jalastar a limited production license. Jalastar began to produce the CN9-A Centurion in limited quantities.[5] In 3055, the company started producing Davion's favored light BattleMech design, the JVN-10P Javelin, in accordance with AFFC High Command request.[6]

The corporation has fared very well security-wise since before the Succession Wars and up to the FedCom Civil War. However, by 3067 the local AFFS garrison forces was considerably drained, making the corporation vulnerable to a full scale invasion of Panpour.[1]

During the Jihad , the facility on Panpour suffered heavy capital and personnel losses of 50%, and the operating capacity of the factory was reduced to a production volume of 65% by 3079.[7]

Leadership

In 3025, the company's CEO is Count Edwas Tiehala[2]; he has been replaced by Countess Iriana Salvas by 3067.[1]

Notes

  • Designs that have been noted with "(As of 3XXX)" indicate the approximate date it appeared. The JVN-11D first appeared in print in TRO: 3050 Upgrade, which talks about the unit being experimental, available in limited production. It does not mention the exact date it premiers, but TRO:3050 was "updated" as of 3071; thus the date. Other units may be similarly listed.
  • All fusion engines where shipped in from GM on Talcot.[16]
