==Overview==
Alphard Trading Corporation (ATC) was originally a single company headquartered in the Free Worlds League. During the [[2720]]s ATC underwent a major expansion, forming several new subsidiaries across the Periphery. During the [[Succession Wars]], the ATC main office ceased operations, leaving the many subsidiaries to operate independently.<ref name=H:MPSp119>''Handbook: Major Periphery States'', p. 119: "Alphard Trading Corporation"</ref> Two of these branches were located on [[Alphard (MH)|Alphard]] and [[Perdition]], but only ATC Perdition survived the Succession Wars. Survival didn't equate to prosperity, however, as ATC Perdition remained afloat only because they merged with [[Pinard Protectorates Limited]].

The Alphard office remained defunct until [[Johann O'Reilly]] founded a new company with the same name shortly before he formed the [[Marian Hegemony]]. By the time of the [[Clan Invasion]], ATC Alphard had formed a partnership with [[Kali Yama Weapons Industries Incorporated|Kali-Yama Industries]] and ATC Perdition had begun to produce defense products.<ref name=MMp199>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 199: "Corporations of the Hegemony - [Alphard Trading Corporation]"</ref> The increased sales also allowed ATC Perdition to resume operating as a separate corporation.<ref name=H:MPSp119/>

The [[Jihad]] created problems for the [[Kali Yama - Alphard Trading Corporation|Kali-Yama/ATC]] agreement however, as the main [[Kali Yama Weapons Industries Incorporated|Kali Yama offices]] were occupied by Blakist forces.<ref>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 76</ref> The Alphard branch of ATC partnered with [[Marian Arms Incorporated]] and in [[3080]] the two companies finished their first production line. This line produces a "primitive" version of the venerable ''[[Centurion (BattleMech)|Centurion]]'' BattleMech.<ref name="xtror5"/> Analysts speculate that ATC will use the experience gathered from creating this line to expand the [[Marian Hegemony]]'s industrial base. The Perdition branch, however, did not fare so well toward the end of the century. Between the Roughriders' attack on Perdition in [[3075]] and subsequent raids by [[Word of Blake]] forces, all of the industry on Perdition had been destroyed by [[3081]].<ref name="J:FRp117">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 117: "Taurian Concordat"</ref>

The Hegemony government invested heavily in ATC, both to drive the reconstruction programs the Marian military needed to go through and to assist with their civilian reconstruction efforts.<ref name="FM:3145p188">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 188: "Marian Hegemony"</ref> The first new plant to be constructed by ATC was on [[Addhara]], which began producing both armor and BattleMechs to begin making up for the lost output from the destroyed Perdition plant. Then, in addition to the [[Leximon]] plant, ATC established the first [[battle armor]] plant to be constructed in the [[Periphery]], located on the former [[Illyrian Palatinate]] capital of [[Illyria]]. The construction of this plant was driven by demands from ''[[Caesar (rank)|Caesar]]'' [[Ignatius O'Reilly]] for increased military production from ATC. It was ''Caesar'' O'Reilly's anticipation of the now re-formed [[Free Worlds League]] launching large-scale attacks against the Hegemony that fueled his determination to strengthen the [[MHAF]].<ref name="FM:3145p188"/>
