'''Lycomb-Davion IntroTech''' was an [[aerospace fighter]] manufacturer located in two locations on the [[Brunswick]] continent of the [[Federated Suns]] capital world of [[New Avalon]].<ref name=JTPNA3-4>''Jihad Turning Points: New Avalon'', pp. 3–4: "New Avalon" (map)</ref>

==Overview==
Originally named Lycomb IntroTechnologies during the [[Star League era]],<ref name=HB:HDp167/> the rise of Lycomb-Davion IntroTech began with the conquest of [[Demeter]] by the [[Federated Peacekeeping Forces]].{{when}} Demeter, a founding member of the [[Chesterton Trade League]], proved to have a population and military willing to be loyal to the Federated Suns. The Federated Suns invested heavily in Demeter and its people in return, leading to Demeter's premiere combat formation, the [[Arcadian Cuirassiers]], joining the FPF and to Demeter becoming an industrial powerhouse. Lycomb-Davion IntroTech was a major part of that industrial base; by [[2765]] almost a quarter of the population were employed by Lycomb-Davion, either directly or indirectly. When the [[Council Edict of 2650]] was repealed in [[2752]], allowing the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] to expand substantially, the Arcadian Cuirassiers expanded as well, with the [[Second Arcadian Cuirassiers]] forming in [[2755]]. The Second was equipped almost entirely with equipment manufactured by Lycomb-Davion IntroTech.<ref name="FR2765:FSp11">''Field Report 2765: AFFS'', p. 11: "Arcadian Cuirassiers"</ref>

===First Succession War===
In [[2795]],{{ref label|year|See Notes}} following the appointment of [[Sandol Quinn]] as regent to [[Ilsa Liao]], the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] launched an invasion of the Federated Suns. In the second wave of attacks, the [[Fourth Tau Ceti Rangers]] and [[Ariana Grenadiers]] were assigned to attack Demeter, fresh from battles in the first wave of attacks. The [[Demeter Planetary Uniformed Guard]] managed to hold out until December 2795 before being wiped out completely; the battles waged outside Pattersville that destroyed the Uniformed Guard also damaged the Lycomb-Davion IntroTech facilities.<ref name=FSWp81/> The Lycomb-Davion IntroTech facilities on Demeter had been a particular target, as the CCAF hoped to deny the [[AFFS]] supplies of war matériel such as the ''[[Stuka]]'' aerospace fighter. The manufacturing lines on Demeter were destroyed, but the Capellans were ultimately unsuccessful in destroying the company because Lycomb-Davion IntroTech had already been constructing a second production facility on [[New Avalon]], with the second plant well on the way to completion.<ref name=HD(TFS)p150>''House Davion (The Federated Suns)'', p. 150 (PDF p. 152): "Weapons Industries - [Lycomb-Davion IntroTech]"</ref>

===Fourth Succession War===
After the [[Fourth Succession War]], Lycomb-Davion upgraded its factories to produce infantry weapons, APCs, and artillery.<ref name=HB:HDp167/>

===The Jihad===
During the [[Jihad]], the [[Word of Blake]] inflicted serious damage on the New Avalon factory. Only 15% of the factory lines and personnel survived the various Blakist assaults. As a result of these losses, Lycomb-Davion IntroTech was only able to operate at one third of its pre-Jihad efficiency in [[3079]].<ref name=O:FSp4>''Objectives: Federated Suns'', p. 4: "State of the Industry at a Glance (Dec 3079)"</ref> When the Castle Avalon program initiated by [[Yvonne Steiner-Davion]] began reconstruction efforts within the Crucis March, Lycomb-Davion found itself receiving the lion's share of the funding for military reconstruction on New Avalon;<ref name="J:FRp97">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 97: "Crucis March"</ref> with [[Johnston Industries]] struggling to produce the ''[[Dagger (Aerospace Fighter class)|Dagger]]'' [[OmniFighter]] because of damage taken during the Jihad,<ref name="J:FRp97A">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 97: "Capellan March"</ref> the AFFS attempted to compensate by supporting the production of more ''[[Lightning (Aerospace Fighter class)|Lightning]]'' and ''[[Stuka]]'' fighters.<ref name="J:FRp97"/>

==Notes==
{{note|year}} ''[[FedCom Civil War (sourcebook)|FedCom Civil War]]'' mentions that Lycomb-Davion IntroTech on Demeter was destroyed by atomic blasts in May 2760.<ref name=FCWp190>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 190: "Demeter" planet profile</ref> This is in conflict with several other sources and is assumed to be in error. The most recent publication, ''[[First Succession War (sourcebook)|First Succession War]]'', gives the year as 2795.
