==Overview==
During the [[Star League era]], the '''Lyran 'Mech Corporation''' was the second-largest [[BattleMech]] manufacturer in the [[Lyran Commonwealth]].<ref name="FR2765p8">''Field Report 2765: LCAF'', p. 8, "Arcturan Guards"</ref> Relatively little information is available on the company, but LMC had a major manufacturing facility producing BattleMechs and aerospace products on numerous Lyran worlds.<ref name="FR2765p12">''Field Report 2765: LCAF'', p. 12, "Lyran Guards"</ref> 

While the second-largest 'Mech manufacturer in Lyran space, the company was not free from controversy; the [[Fourteenth Arcturan Guards]] were responsible for guarding a major LMC facility for more than a decade and received a significant percentage of the equipment LMC produced, up until the Commonwealth launched [[Operation CATALOG]].<ref name="FR2765p8"/> Operation CATALOG was a major operation to investigate and destroy a huge interstellar cartel or collection of supercartels particularly active in the border regions of the Commonwealth abutting the [[Free Worlds League]] and [[Rim Worlds Republic]], and identified wide-scale corruption, bribery and criminal activity across numerous worlds and involving a number of companies, planetary governments and military units.<ref name="FR2765p3">''Field Report 2765: LCAF'', p. 3, "Operation CATALOG"</ref> Operation CATALOG uncovered that more than one in three of the personnel in the Fourteenth were actively involved in criminal activities, aiding local crime families in a range of criminal activities as well as blackmailing equally-corrupt company officials and providing groups believed to be pirates with smuggled military equipment.<ref name="FR2765p8"/>

As of [[2765]], construction of then-new production complexes on the Lyran world Fefferfer were almost completed, the 'Mech and [[aerospace fighter]] lines being built there protected by the [[33rd Lyran Guards|Thirty-Third Lyran Guards]]. Rumors at the time indicated that LMC had been soliciting the opinions of the warriors of the Thirty-Third on the design of a new heavy or light assault BattleMech.<ref name="FR2765p12">''Field Report 2765: LCAF'', p. 12, "Lyran Guards"</ref>

==Manufacturing==
LMC operated as major manufacturing facility on Fefferfer<ref name="FR2765p12"/> and at least one other major facility on another world.<ref name="FR2765p8"/>

== Notes ==
* LMC has only been mentioned in one publication to date (''[[Field Report 2765: LCAF]]'') and appears to have been destroyed or subsumed during the Succession Wars. Fefferfer died during the [[Second Succession War]], and it is unclear where the plant guarded by the Fourteenth Arcturan Guards was; the Fourteenth were garrisoning [[Nichol's Rest]] in [[2765]], but it is unlikely the LCAF High Command would have kept them on a planet with an LMC facility following Operation CATALOG.
