Cosby Myomer Research Firm - (Cosby BattleMech Research Firm) Company Logo

Originally a technology research firm dedicated to studying new Myomer applications, Cosby Myomer Research Firm - (Cosby BattleMech Research Firm)'s success with Triple Strength Myomer and Battle Armor construction has catapulted into being a full-fledged military manufacturer, with several high-profile contracts with the DCMS.

Overview

Working in close cooperation with the ill-famed 11th Legion of Vega which are known for it's ex-commander Theodore Kurita, regiment, which also had a very competent techs and even full-blown research and design team[1], the factory has received thorough this a considerable quantity of the advanced technologies and the technical decisions, which allowed to transform own new-tech Myomer technologies into mighty No-Dachi Heavy BattleMech, in a exchange for half of all produced mechs.[2]

By taking funding from the Coordinator, CBR choose to make another, non-tainted by association with the Legion of Vega, (like a No-Dachi), 'mech, more fitting for picky, honor-obsessed units of the DCMS. By acquiring through hostile takeover a manufacturing rights to the Crusader mech, they made a complete restyling of the ancient machine, with a good success - their new mechs found a place into Sword of Light and Ryuken regiments. [3]

Manufacturing

Cosby Myomer Research Firm - (Cosby BattleMech Research Firm) has manufacturing centers on the following planets:

Vega

Components produced on Vega:
Component Type
Mechs

Kajikazawa

Note: During the long Jihad, the facility on Kajikazawa, suffers no capital and personnel losses, and the operating capacity of the factory has the main production volume of 65% in 3079.[7]

Most of this slowdown has nothing to do with the factory production but the inability to efficiently ship the resulting 'Mechs out to the DCMS units on other worlds.[8]

Components produced on Kajikazawa:[8]
Component Type
Mechs
Phoenix Hawk[8] Medium BattleMech
NDA-3X No-Dachi[9] Heavy BattleMech
No-Dachi[8] Heavy BattleMech
Thunderbolt[8] Heavy BattleMech
