The motto of New Samarkand Metals was, "If it's metal, it's Samarkand." During the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]], when the destruction of planetary infrastructure and the drop in interstellar transportation threatened the supply of ores for steel making, New Samarkand Metals began research on alternate alloys to keep up their production. This resulted in their newest product: Tempered Samarkite. While more difficult to work with in regards to traditional steel, Tempered Samarkite had proven to be equally as strong.

New Samarkand Metals was a steel-making and military hardware provider in the Draconis Combine.[2]

Overview

The motto of New Samarkand Metals was, "If it's metal, it's Samarkand." During the Succession Wars, when the destruction of planetary infrastructure and the drop in interstellar transportation threatened the supply of ores for steel making, New Samarkand Metals began research on alternate alloys to keep up their production. This resulted in their newest product: Tempered Samarkite. While more difficult to work with in regards to traditional steel, Tempered Samarkite had proven to be equally as strong. The formula and procedures for creating Samarkite was as closely guarded as the Coordinator.[2]

New Samarkand Metals had also long been the key source of germanium for the Draconis Combine. Headquartered on New Samarkand, they had several mining operations throughout the Combine. In addition to the Combine military market, since 2971 they had supplied raw materials to the Outworlds Alliance. Though the Alliance's recent negotiations with Clan Snow Raven affected the agreement somewhat, NSM had still been honoring the agreement.[3]

Sapphire Metals was a division of New Samarkand Metals by 3067,[1] and the company had facilities on Togura, Niles, and Qandahar by 3076.[3] Additionally, Xinyang was the site of a RetroTech facility; though it produced 'Mechs for the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery, the facility was closed by 3079.[4]

By and large, New Samarkand Metals hadn't been affected by the ravages of the Jihad. Their greatest threat came from local Black Dragon Society cells that appealed to the miners' dissatisfaction with their employers; however, the Internal Security Force was quick to respond to the disruptions.[3]
