Connor Industrial Ltd. was a Towne-based manufacturer.
Overview
Before the Blackout, Connor Industrial was a manufacturer of petrochemicals and heavy industrial equipment. In the wake of the HPG collapse, amidst armed conflict within the Republic of the Sphere, the company turned to arms manufacturing. By 17 February 3133, the company had announced that it would convert its Fairfax factory to produce artillery weapons and ammunition. At the time, it was negotiating a distribution contract with Bannson Universal Unlimited, who provided security for its plants in the meantime.[1]
Connor Industrial's turn to arms received public backlash, particularly from Towne's peace activists. Citizens for Peace and Prosperity and the Hope Foundation, among other groups, took to the courts to stop the company. As of 17 February, the Towne Supreme Court had rejected every application for an injunction, Chief Justice Pavel Gramstadt even declaring that future attempts may result in criminal investigations. Other activists took less legal approaches, several breaking into the Fairfax factory to sabotage it. Three such saboteurs died in a chemical spill on the 16th.[1]
Leadership
As of February 3133, Connor Industrial's president and CEO was Frederick Connor. Ernie al-Drun served as spokesman.[1]
