'''Skobel MechWorks''' started in the [[Terran Hegemony]]. They came to the notice of the [[SLDF]] through the various [[IndustrialMech]] designs they created. During the [[Star League era]], Skobel MechWorks branched into [[BattleMech]] design, first for the SLDF and later for [[Rim Worlds Republic]] forces that captured Terra.<ref name=MM218>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 218: "Skobel MechWorks Profile"</ref>

Though Skobel once had factories on Caph, [[Thorin]], [[New Earth]], and [[Outreach]], the Succession Wars destroyed almost all of them. Of no less than six factories Skobel had on [[Terra]] (Russia), only a single one remained operational after [[General Kerensky]]'s [[Operation Exodus|Exodus]]. This remaining factory was focused on producing components used in other companies' designs. The [[Clan Invasion]] and the resulting need for matériel allowed Skobel MechWorks to reopen several factories left closed by [[ComStar]] for centuries, including the production line for the ''[[Jackrabbit]]'' [[BattleMech#Light|light]] 'Mech in Russia. This move made Skobel MechWorks one of the [[Com Guards]]' main suppliers. After the [[Operation Odysseus|Fall of Terra]] to the [[Word of Blake]], Skobel MechWorks continued to produce equipment. The Blakists also funded the decontamination and rebuilding effort for Skobel's production lines on Caph.<ref name=MM218/> While the factory on Caph was restored to working order prior to the [[Jihad]] it is unclear what was manufactured there.<ref name="MSUp147">''Mercenaries Supplemental Update'', p. 147: "O-66 "Oppie" HazMat Recovery Vehicle"</ref>
