Founded as Precision Laser Systems as a division of the then massive [[Kankadi Corporation]], the company was spun off and thrived as a manufacturer of laser systems for medical, industrial and military purposes. The economic turmoil of the [[Succession Wars era]] forced the company to sell off its now poorly performing medical and industrial divisions, renaming itself as Precision Weaponry as it focused on the military market to stay in business. Around this time the company also literally went underground, moving its production lines into massive subsurface facilities in response to repeated pirate and Successor State military attacks.
