Jalastar Aerospace
Jaslastar Aerospace is a military hardware manufacturer in the Federated Suns.
Overview
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 didn't hesitate in offering the swift and deadly Sparrowhawk to the AFFS.[2]
In the 29th Century, the Jalastar created its own security forces, to strength its ablity to prevent pirate activity from taking away from its stockpiles.
In 3025, the company had been thrown into a state of confusion. The company's stocks had been buying up significant amount of the corporation's controlling stocks. Jalastar was forced to buy up at accelerated rate its own stock before it could be taken over by unknown company. This drained the company's resources, preventing it from completing new lighter engine it had been developing for its Sparrowhawk design.[3] It was later revealled that Federated-Boeing had attempted but failed to take control of Jalastar.[4]
By the mid-31st Century, the corporation has branched out to open new production 'Mech division. In 3047, Coren Enterprises gave Jalastar a limited production license. The corporation began to produce the Centurion in limited quanties.[5] In 3055, the company started producing Davion's favoured light BattleMech design, the Javelin.[6]
The corporation has faired 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 considerly drained, making the corporation vulnerable to a full scale invasion of Panpour.[7]
