Arcturan Arms was a military hardware manufacturer based on Arcturus, the former capital of the Lyran Commonwealth.
Overview[edit]
During the Age of War, Arcturan Arms produced a number of notable vehicles including the Marsden I MBT in 2396,[1] the Büffel VII in 2407,[2] and the Marsden II MBT in 2463.[3] The company also manufactured the second homegrown Lyran-produced BattleMech, the Crossbow, in 2468.[4] Despite these achievements, the company's fortunes suffered when the Lyran Commonwealth shifted its capital from Arcturus to Tharkad, forcing it to shut down its factory in 2490 after producing only a few hundred Crossbows. MacEnroe Motors bought out the financially troubled company in 2541 and would later discontinue Crossbow production in 2550.[4]
During the Jihad, Arcturan Arms expanded its refit facility to produce RetroTech 'Mechs for the LCAF. Production on these lines had shut down by 3079,[5] but the profit money from those lines was used to launch new Marsden II production facilities on Buena[6] and Halfway.[7] In September 3081, Arcturan Arms told the Interstellar News Network that their refit facilities would be producing considerable numbers of the primitive Archer, Commando, and Dervish 'Mechs for some decades yet; RetroTech 'Mechs seen as being ideal for low-level organizations such as militia forces.[8]
After the rebirth of the Tamar Pact, Clan Sea Fox, working in concert with the Pact's leadership, retooled Arcturus Arms' production lines to produce Clan OmniMechs. In exchange, they received the opportunity to claim three of every four Crossbows produced there.[9]
Manufacturing[edit]
Arcturan Arms has a manufacturing center on the following planets:

The facility on Arcturus suffered no capital and personnel losses, but the operating capacity of the factory was reduced to 40% of their main output in 3079.[10]
