	==Overview==		==Overview==
−	Maltex Corporation produced some of the Star League's most effective BattleMechs. The ''Wyvern'' and ''Thug'' were both popular with pilots. Maltex also designed and introduced the ''Assassin'' medium 'Mech but sold the design to [[Hellespont Mech Works]].<ref>''Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade'', p. 34</ref> In [[2685]], Maltex responded to the problem of too many unit commanders piloting ''Wyverns'' being lost in close assaults or close combat in urban environments by developing the WVN-5UX ''Wyvern City'' variant. Four prototypes were manufactured and supplied to the [[Star League Defense Force]] for testing; the SLDF tests and simulations showed that the new variant led to much more effective command decisions at [[battalion]]-level, but a much more aggressive push for combat at [[company]] commander level, rendering it unsuitable for use below battalion level. The testing conducted by Maltex and the SLDF highlighted that the noticeable difference in appearance between the ''Wyvern City'' and standard ''Wyvern'' allowed commanders to be identified and targeted by enemy forces, increasing the risk to these valuable officers. The SLDF was unwilling to accept the tradeoff, and production was discontinued; the four prototypes that had been produced were scrapped in [[2687]].<ref name="XTRO:GSp3">''Experimental Technical Readout: Gunslingers'', p. 4: "WVN-5UX Wyvern City"</ref>	+	Maltex Corporation produced some of the Star League's most effective BattleMechs.

−	In [[2835]], Maltex main production line was destroyed. This left them in possession of several plans and documents but no way to produce them. To take advantage of this, Maltex partnered with several other manufacturers to produce their designs, including Hellespont and [[Earthwerks Incorporated]]<ref>''Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade'', p. 216</ref>	+	In [[2835]] Maltex main production line was destroyed.

−	The [[ISF]] used Maltex's status as a design house to confuse [[MIIO]] and [[DMI]] investigators about the ''Hatamoto-Chi''. By claiming that the design was a product of "Maltex Corporation," the ISF was able to focus attention away from the actual production lines. This initially led the intelligence agencies to believe that the Maltex Corporation had introduced a new factory on [[Nirasaki]]. This information was later discovered to be an error but by then ''Hatamoto-Chi'' production was in full swing.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade'', p. 88</ref>	+	The [[ISF]] used Maltex's status as a design house to confuse [[MIIO]] and [[DMI]] investigators about the ''Hatamoto-chi''.

−	* A handful of sources, most notably ''Technical Readout: 3050'' [1990], ''Objective Raids'' [1992], ''Tactical Handbook'' [1994], and ''Dark Age: Republic Worlds'' (3130) [2003] incorrectly ascribe Combine ownership and manufacturing to the Errai factory. This was retconned in ''Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrades'' [2007] as a disinformation campaign aimed at [[MIIO]] that fooled [[ComStar]] archivists as well, but created some continuity issues.
