Overview
Basantapur specializes in the creation of rare alloys. Many of which are used in military applications such as the internal framework of BattleMechs. As of 3025, the company operated many large foundries on the worlds of Basantapur and As Samik. While the company has survived the Succession Wars with little damage, a long history of bad management has prevented the firm from achieving its full potential. Over the years, the Davion government has thought about nationalizing the company, but each time this is considered, they realize that the solution would only cause more problems.[4]
