Norse-Storm Technologies Incorporated is a BattleMech manufacturer headquartered on Lyran world of Loxley.
Overview
While the Storm's Metal Thunder Mercenary unit was garrisoning Loxley in 3034, its commanding officer Captain Griff Storm discovered the remains of a Star League era 'Mech factory. With substantial loans from the Lyran goverment and aid of business partner Samuel Norse, the factory was eventually brought back online as Norse-Storm BattleMechs in 3046. Desperate to ensure their survival, the company signed a license agreement to produce well-received Devastator Assault BattleMech. The company has since expanded, re-introducing further lostech Star League era designs. Originally producing 'Mechs for the AFFC, Griff Storm's immense loyalty to House Steiner led to company producing exclusively for the LAAF upon the Federated Commonwealth's dissolution.[1]
At the behest of Archon Katherine Steiner-Davion, Norse-Storm engaged in several years of intense and insanely expensive negotiations with Shengli Arms in the hopes of acquiring access to the Capellan Confederation's Stealth Armor technology. Despite appearing to deal with the Norse-Storm in good faith, Shengli had no intention of releasing such an advantage to a enemy of the Capellan nation. With the contract having no stipulation stating in what language the technical specifications were to be provided in, Shengli provided Norse-Storm the data in an obscure and ancient Han dialect, forcing the company to employ Shengli Arms techs to install the armor. [2] When all of Norse-Storm's efforts to break the ironclad contract failed, their security chief supposedly went "rogue" and launched an objective raid against Victoria, making off with several hundred tons of stealth armor and crippling Shengli production for eight months. While Norse-Storm denied any link, this rang hollow when they detained the Shengli aides required to install the armor and continued production of the "Stealth Spector" unabated while they tried to reverse-engineer the technology. Shengli halted all future shipments to Loxley in response. [3]
During the Jihad, with so many other Lyran BattleMech factories in the hands of the Word of Blake, Norse-Storm became one of the most critical industries in the Alliance.
