==Overview==
Defiance Motors was created in [[2995]] when Defiance Industries ran into problems getting the engines they needed for their products. Construction of a site on [[Tharkad]]'s Tatyana Island chain began with an expected completion around [[3003]], but the progress would be halted a year early when they discovered a facility design flaw. As there were not enough qualified engineers and technicians at the time to create a new design, Defiance Motors would end up waiting until around [[3026]] to resume completion of the factory, which put on hold many projects such as Defiance Industries' expansion into [[combat vehicle]] production with the [[Rommel]] and [[Patton]] tanks.<ref name=HSp135/>

During the [[Jihad]], the Tharkad facility was heavily damaged and many of its employees were killed in the fighting. The losses were estimated to reach 80%. As of [[3079]], the factory was only running at 40% of its pre-Jihad output. The losses at the facility had also greatly hampered production at the company's remaining sites, as Defiance Motors was a key supplier of engines for the facilities on [[Hesperus II]] and [[Furillo]].<ref name=O:LAp3>''Objectives: Lyran Alliance'', p. 3: "State of the Industry at a Glance (Dec 3079)"</ref> The factory on [[Gibbs]] may have been destroyed or purchased by one of the neighboring industries as it isn't listed as being active in [[3079]].<ref name=O:LAp24>''Objectives: Lyran Alliance'', p. 24: "Gibbs"</ref>
