Sapphire Metals began as a small production facility owned by Luthien Armor Works. It was purchased by the Sapphire Sunset yakuza oyabun. Renamed Sapphire Metals, work has begun on producing a pair of wildly altered Charger variants, which the yakuza clan hopes will find popularity within the Draconis Combine's Ghost Regiments.[1]
