Blackwell Heavy Industries is a military goods manufacturer based on New Valencia.
Overview
Once only a minor component supplier, association with the Wolf’s Dragoons in 3007 has led to incredible financial success for the once virtually unknown Blackwell Industries. Bound to the Dragoons by an exclusive contract when they first arrived on Outreach, Blackwell has since become a major military supplier to mercenary units across the Inner Sphere.[citation needed]
Most of the facilities on Outreach were destroyed by the Word of Blake in 3067 at the start of the Jihad.[citation needed]
In 3075 the Word of Blake struck the world again, successfully loading their cargo DropShips with the entire production run of Marauder IIs intended for the AFFS. The AFFS counterstrike drove the Blakists off-world, but the cargo DropShips were destroyed. This left Blackwell in dire straits as the AFFS Department of the Quartermaster refused to pay for 'Mechs it didn't receive.[1] General Motors extended credit and capital to the company, but by 3079 it was clear that Blackwell couldn't survive alone. GM bought out the company, but announced it wouldn't produce any of Blackwell's designs.[2]
Leadership
As of 3072, the head of the company was Dameon Guillome.[3]
Manufacturing
Blackwell Heavy Industries has manufacturing centers on the following planets:
Outreach
