Overview

The Protectorate Defense Conglomerate (also known as the Protectorate Arms Conglomerate)[1] began as the Concordat Defense Conglomerate. When the Calderon Protectorate was created, the company changed its name to reflect its place in the new nation. It began production of the Star Dagger in 3077 as a means of generating capital for further expansion efforts.[2]

During the Jihad the planet suffered no personnel losses, and was operating at full capacity.[3] The PDC facility on Diik continued to produce small quantities of BattleMechs throughout the Dark Age, supplementing the larger output of 'Mechs from the newer Protectorate Military Industries plant located on Erod's Escape and the BattleMech manufacturing facility on Tyrrhenia.[4]
