Overview
Edasich Motors was formed after the Edasich family took over the operation of two major fusion engine factories, a Vlar Industries production plant on Edasich and a Pitban Power Systems line on Kirkcaldy's moon of Tentra, in 2784 following the collapse of the Star League. During the Succession Wars the company's story was a familiar one, its products increasingly vital during the war torn era to power Defiance Industries famous Zeus and Atlas BattleMechs, but its production volumes steadily dropping to one-fifth their former rate as jury-rigging replaced now LosTech parts. Unable to repair their existing factories, Duke Martin Edsaich considered building a new fresh factory on a more peaceful interior world, a project that received new urgency when word emerged that Defiance Industries was building a new division on Tharkad - Defiance Motors - to make-up for Edasich's increasing shortfall in production.[1] [2]
As with many technologically advanced companies, the discovery and decoding of the Helm Memory Core turned Edasich's fortunes around, the company sparing no expense in the construction of a new plant on Aur to see off Defiance's Tharkad expansion. By shutting down the older plant on Tentra, Edasich was able to use the machinery from that plant to upgrade the main factory on Edasich and construct a plant on Aur more quickly. It was undoubtedly the speed with which Edasich began production of advanced extra-light engines that convinced Defiance to continue to rely on Edasich Motors and maintaining its vitality in the post-Succession Wars era.[2]
The Edasich Motors factory on Aur was shattered on the 27th of January 3075 when the Word of Blake's 50th Shadow Division raided the world.[3][4] The expansion of the Aur plant to produce RetroTech designs probably influenced the Blakist's priorities.[5]
The Edasich facility was heavily damaged during the Jihad, with losses approaching 85%.[6] As a result the company has had to rely on their original Star League era production line, which is close to permanent shutdown.[7] This factory line is able to operate at approximately a third of its pre-Jihad capacity[6], which allows it to keep production apace with Defiance's reduced output.[7]
