+ | '''Kallon Weapon Industries''' was the [[Federated Suns]] division of the large multinational military hardware manufacturer [[Kallon Industries]], producing everything from [[BattleMech]]s and [[Combat Vehicle|vehicles]] to [[DropShip]]s. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Overview== | ||
+ | Kallon Industries was once a subsidiary of [[Earthwerks Incorporated]] and broke off during the [[Star League]] era. With operations also in the [[Free Worlds League]] and sometimes the [[Capellan Confederation]], the Federated Suns division branded itself as Kallon Weapon Industries by [[3025]].<ref name=HD(TFS)p152/> The different divisions essentially operated as independent companies that shared a single board of directors.<ref name=HB:HDp173>''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 173: "Kallon Industries (KlnInd)"</ref> This arrangement changed during the [[Clan Invasion]] as the branches began to work more closely.<ref name=HB:HMp133>''Handbook: House Marik'', p. 133: "Kallon Industries (Unlisted)"</ref> | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the closing years of the [[Third Succession War]], Kallon rediscovered the plans to the ''[[Hornet]]'' and rushed it back into production. Initially met with little interest, reports of [[Wolf's Dragoons]] using the design to great effect on [[Misery]] finally convinced the Federated Suns to begin purchasing it.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3039'', p. 244</ref> | ||
+ | |||
+ | The premier Kallon facility in Federated Suns space, the Talon plant was located on the small but mineral rich moon of the equally important agricultural world of [[Wernke]]. Their production of high-quality 'Mechs reached a record pace<ref name=HD(TFS)p152/><ref>''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 91</ref> prior to its destruction in [[3069]].<ref name=TRO:3050Up10>''Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade'', p. 10: "HNT-171 Hornet"</ref> | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Federated Suns also enjoyed the use of Kallon's factories on Nanking for many years. The corporation was the largest employer on the world, to the point that the capital city was known as Kallontown.<ref name=H:HDp89>''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 89: "Nanking"</ref> The Federated Suns branch of Kallon Industries focused mostly on producing combat vehicles and BattleMechs, as well as personal arms.<ref name=HB:HDp173/> | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===The Jihad=== | ||
+ | During the [[Jihad]], the Kallon Weapon Industries yards on [[Layover]] were noteworthy because they were idle and disused facilities forcibly leased from nearby [[Salvatore Incorporated]]. The Princess Regent ordered the two companies to work together during the Jihad, effectively nationalizing a chunk of the rundown facility for the benefit of Kallon. This allowed the federal government to provide bailout loans and contracts to the benefit of both companies.<ref name=ofs17/> With the continued production of new ''[[Arondight]]'' [[Pocket WarShip]]s and ''[[Vengeance (DropShip class)|Vengeance]]'' [[DropShips]] being successfully launched for the [[AFFS]] admiralty, by mid-[[3081]] Kallon was considering expanding into more of the dormant facilities still owned by Salvatore Incorporated on Layover.<ref name=J:FRp97a/> | ||
+ | |||
+ | However, in March [[3080]], elements within Kallon Industries were implicated in being involved in local disturbances on the world of [[Nanking]]. Backed by interests in the Federated Suns, these elements were supplying weapons to rebels and renegade Coalition forces attempting to destabilize the world.<ref name="J:FRp71+">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', pp. 71–72: "Chaos Undaunted: Snow Job"</ref> | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===The Dark Age=== | ||
+ | After abandoning salvaging its destroyed megaplex on Talon, following the Jihad Kallon's FedSuns branch built a major new facility covering much of the continent of Tonkya on [[Wernke III]], concentrating on producing a vast array of spare parts for the many Kallon BattleMechs still in service in the AFFS.<ref name=RGiCv12p6>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 12'', p. 6: "Shadow Hawk"</ref> An expansion of this is although Kallon's ''[[Templar]]'' BattleMech production lines were destroyed during the Jihad, [[General Motors]] introduced a new version of the popular 'Mech during the [[Dark Age]] from their facilities on [[New Valencia]], and continued to use at least some Kallon-manufactured components in the production of their new 'Mech—including such fundamental components as the 'Mech chassis.<ref name="TRO:3145FSp48">''Technical Readout: 3145: Federated Suns'', p. 48: "TLR2-O Templar III"</ref> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Kallon also benefited from the spoils of the [[Victoria War]] when [[Duke of New Syrtis|Duchess]] [[Amanda Hasek (31st c.)|Amanda Hasek]] sold the remains of the [[Shengli Arms]] factory on [[Victoria (CC)|Victoria]] to Kallon,<ref name=FM:3145>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 29: "Victoria Commonality"</ref> which gave them access to designs such as the [[Paladin Defense System]].<ref name=TRO:3145FSp26>''Technical Readout: 3145: Federated Suns'', p. 26: "Paladin Defense System"</ref> And Kallon Weapon Industries would experience a renaissance in the wake of [[Gray Monday]], with the company beginning a mammoth transformation of its Wernke plant to build complete 'Mechs, most notable the SHD-6D ''Shadow Hawk''.<ref name=RGiCv12p6/> | ||

Kallon Weapon Industries was the Federated Suns division of the large multinational military hardware manufacturer Kallon Industries, producing everything from BattleMechs and vehicles to DropShips.

Overview
Kallon Industries was once a subsidiary of Earthwerks Incorporated and broke off during the Star League era. With operations also in the Free Worlds League and sometimes the Capellan Confederation, the Federated Suns division branded itself as Kallon Weapon Industries by 3025.[1] The different divisions essentially operated as independent companies that shared a single board of directors.[2] This arrangement changed during the Clan Invasion as the branches began to work more closely.[3]
In the closing years of the Third Succession War, Kallon rediscovered the plans to the Hornet and rushed it back into production. Initially met with little interest, reports of Wolf's Dragoons using the design to great effect on Misery finally convinced the Federated Suns to begin purchasing it.[4]
The premier Kallon facility in Federated Suns space, the Talon plant was located on the small but mineral rich moon of the equally important agricultural world of Wernke. Their production of high-quality 'Mechs reached a record pace[1][5] prior to its destruction in 3069.[6]
The Federated Suns also enjoyed the use of Kallon's factories on Nanking for many years. The corporation was the largest employer on the world, to the point that the capital city was known as Kallontown.[7] The Federated Suns branch of Kallon Industries focused mostly on producing combat vehicles and BattleMechs, as well as personal arms.[2]
The Jihad
During the Jihad, the Kallon Weapon Industries yards on Layover were noteworthy because they were idle and disused facilities forcibly leased from nearby Salvatore Incorporated. The Princess Regent ordered the two companies to work together during the Jihad, effectively nationalizing a chunk of the rundown facility for the benefit of Kallon. This allowed the federal government to provide bailout loans and contracts to the benefit of both companies.[8] With the continued production of new Arondight Pocket WarShips and Vengeance DropShips being successfully launched for the AFFS admiralty, by mid-3081 Kallon was considering expanding into more of the dormant facilities still owned by Salvatore Incorporated on Layover.[9]
However, in March 3080, elements within Kallon Industries were implicated in being involved in local disturbances on the world of Nanking. Backed by interests in the Federated Suns, these elements were supplying weapons to rebels and renegade Coalition forces attempting to destabilize the world.[10]
The Dark Age
After abandoning salvaging its destroyed megaplex on Talon, following the Jihad Kallon's FedSuns branch built a major new facility covering much of the continent of Tonkya on Wernke III, concentrating on producing a vast array of spare parts for the many Kallon BattleMechs still in service in the AFFS.[11] An expansion of this is although Kallon's Templar BattleMech production lines were destroyed during the Jihad, General Motors introduced a new version of the popular 'Mech during the Dark Age from their facilities on New Valencia, and continued to use at least some Kallon-manufactured components in the production of their new 'Mech—including such fundamental components as the 'Mech chassis.[12]
Kallon also benefited from the spoils of the Victoria War when Duchess Amanda Hasek sold the remains of the Shengli Arms factory on Victoria to Kallon,[13] which gave them access to designs such as the Paladin Defense System.[14] And Kallon Weapon Industries would experience a renaissance in the wake of Gray Monday, with the company beginning a mammoth transformation of its Wernke plant to build complete 'Mechs, most notable the SHD-6D Shadow Hawk.[11]
