Krupp Armament Works is a weapons manufacturer located on Terra. They produced weapons for anyone who could afford them, including the Word of Blake.
Overview
During Operation SCOUR's assault on Terra, Krupp's Budapest facility was captured by the 4th Division. They used the fortified assembly lines as a base and tried to rebuild their damaged forces. Unfortunately the Coalition forces were able to drive them out, and the Coalition troops under General Andrew Redburn stripped the facility for all useful parts and weapons. Krupp's management objected, but there was little they could do to stop the looting.[1]
These objections, and Krupp's insistence that the newborn Republic of the Sphere provide reparations, led the company to enter into secret talks with other manufacturers effected by Operation SCOUR to file lawsuits suing numerous parties involved in the Coalition for lost profits. When Devlin Stone's intelligence network got wind of this in late 3082, the Exarch negotiated a number of behind-closed door contracts for equipment and parts with Krupp, an obvious attempt to try and placate the manufacturer. When Krupp filed the lawsuits anyway in 3084, Stone saw it as personal betrayal, triggering a acrimonious rift between the Republic, Stone and the company.[2]
