Much better - here are a few additional notes/corrections

Demeter – Tikonov Reaches
Vicore Industries – Valkyrie, Phoenix Hawk (d. 1st SW by Terrorists – Plant could be Rebuilt)
Lycomb Incorporated – Stuka Fighter (d. 1st SW)

I would not call the mech factory Vicore- Vicore was a new company.


Quote
Indicass – Capellan Confederation
Ceres Metals – Swift Wind, Wheeled APC, Heavy Hover APC, Galleon, Hetzer Wheeled

Per Objective Raids- Ceres Metals had a mech factory here that was destroyed in 2905.  It is unknown what they built.

Quote

Capellan Confederation
Sian – Capellan Confederation
Hellespont Industries – Vedette, Scorpion, Hover APC, Heavy Tracked APC, Heavy Wheeled APC, Pegasus Scout Tank, Maxim Hover Transport
Hellespont Mechworks – Wasp
Saroyan Special – Transgressor, Meteor, Crane II, Angel Fighter

Hellespont was not on Sian in 2785- they opened the factory later after losing the rest of their factories in the CC (locations unknown)

The transgressor did not enter production until 2987

Quote
Grand Base – Capellan Confederation
Earthwerks – Stinger, Shadow Hawk, Archer

Grand Base was newer factory- it may have been built in the 3020s.  Definitely not a SL era factory.

Quote
Menke – Warrior Fiefdom
Ceres Metals – Po Tank (May not be in Production)
StarCorp Industries – Warhammer, Emperor, Highlander

The Po is from the 3030s- so that would not have been built here.


Quote
Al Na’ir – Terran Free State
Yori MechWorks – Catapult, Charger, Atlas
Scarborough – Pegasus, Saracen, Saladin, Scimitar, Maxim, Hover APC, Heavy Hover APC
Scarborough may date to the 3rd SW -see the Saracen fluff


Quote
Epsilon Eridani – Terran Free States
Harvard Company – Ahab Fighter (1st SW)

May also have built the Wasp LAM need to check TRO3085.


Quote
Layover – Robinson Freehold
Quickcell – Heavy Tracked APC, LRM Carrier, SRM Carrier, Scorpion, Vedette Tank
Salvatore – Seeker DropShip

See the write up in HBHD- Salvatore was huge- they built a lot more then just the seeker.


Quote
Alshain – Principality of Rasalhague
Bergan Industries – Locust
Gorton Kingsley Thorpe – Panther, Dragon
Joint Equipment – Skulker, Scorpion, Hetzer, LRM Carrier, SRM Carrier

New Oslo – Principality of Rasalhague
Gorton Kingsley Thorpe – Panther, Phoenix Hawk

GKT did not take over Alshain Weapons until mid/late 2900s

Bergan probably built more then just the locust- per OR the locust line was the only one that could be rebuilt after the factory was destroyed during the clan invasion.

Quote
Irece – Draconis Combine
Might have produced LAMs
Lexatech's factory built lam's here until they were destroyed by the clans.


Quote
Hun Ho – Alliance of Galedon
LexaTech – Archer, Grasshopper

Not sure what the source is for this factory. But per project phoenix Brigadier had a factory here for the scorpion until the 2nd SW.

Quote
New Samarkand – Alliance of Galedon
New Samarkand Metals – Demolisher, Schrek, Behemoth Tank
Wakazashi – Panther
Yan – Crow VTOL

I think Wakazashi's factory is a jihad era development.


Quote
New Syrtis – Capellan Marches
Johnston Industries – Ammunition Plant
New Syrtis Shipyards – Gazelle, Monarch, Mammoth DropShip

Johnston did not have a factory here until after the 4th SW- before that they had a factory on Addicks that was the former Tauken Weapons which built Goblins & other equipment.

Quote
Axton – Capellan Marches
Wangker Aerospace – Corsair, Eagle, Thunderbird Fighter

Wangker had 5 factories at the start of the SWs- Axton, Conneault, Mars & 2 in the FS.  The Eagle did not enter production here until 2811.

Quote
Jalastar Aerospace – Javelin, Grasshopper, Sabre, Centurion, Comet, Defender, Meteor Fighter, Manticore Tank
Challenger Systems – Monolith JumpShip
The Centurion mech entered production in 3040s, the Javelin & Grasshopper in 3060s.  The factory did build the Centurion ASF



Quote
Federated Suns
Belladonna – Federated Suns
Cal Boeing – Ferret, Wild Weasel, Marten, Ripper VTOL

Cal Boeing was not founded until the 2900s IIRC


Quote
Galax – Federated Suns
Federated Boeing – Gazelle, Leopard, Leopard CV, Union, Overlord, Mule, Seeker, Mammoth DropShip (Possibly JumpShip Capable)

When it first opened Fed Boeing could build 25 designs.

Quote
Johnsondale – Disputed Space/Sun March Hot Zone
Valiant Vehicles – Pegasus, Striker, Pilum Tank

This factory was opened late in the 3rd SW.

Quote
New Earth – Disputed Space/Terran Badlands
New Earth Trading Company – Karnov, Vedette, Manticore Tank
The Karnov was not built by NETC until after the clans arrived.

Quote

Procyon – Capolla Union
Brigadier – Facility Unused

This factory built the Scorpion.

Quote
Carver V – Capolla Union
Brooks Incorporated – Ironsides Fighter
Carver V also had a factory that build assault mechs until it was destroyed in the 2950s- probably built the Atlas and Victor (these are mentioned in the original source)

Quote
Tiber – Principality of Regulus
Gilbert Sachs & Belafonte – Paramour Mobile Repair Vehicle (d. 2nd SW)
Wanker Aerospace – Corsair Fighter (d. 2nd SW)
The Wangker factory was on Conneault


Quote
Trellisane – Duchy of Tamarind
Gutierrez Aerospace – Stingray

This factory was opened in the 3040s.


Quote
New Kyoto – Federation of Skye
Used to have large Shipyards in the system

The only military production was the Mako.



You are also missing a number of factories:
Corean Enterprises had a factory on Ramen II (FWL) that introduced the Centurion in 2801.  They also had 5 other factories whose locations and products are unknown. 

Earthwerks had factories in each house- we only know of ones in the FWL and CC -so there should be at least one in the FS, DC and LC.

Acherner had several factories for the Dervish in the FS.

Amalgamated Sword & Steel was a huge factory in the DC that was destroyed during the SWs- it's location is known.

Dehuego & Fresht (SP?) was a huge shipyard (location unknown) that was destroyed during the SWs.

The tokugawa tank was produced at several factories in the DC until they were destroyed during the SWs.

Kallon had a Jagermech line somewhere in the CC that was destroyed during the SWs.

Earthwerks had 4 factories in the FWL in 2785- Calloway VI, Keystone and 2 others (not asuncion & bernardo- those were in the CC)

Reimai had a sabre factory somewhere in the FWL that must have been destroyed during the SWs,



Hope that helps.

It does - considerably.

I'll make some changes, thanks Irose. Cripes, compiling factory/production information is tiresome.

Tell me about it- and what's worse is that logically there are probably a 100 more factories which have never been mentioned in canon and were destroyed during the SWs....but I try to avoid thinking about that....

I've been trying not to think about this.

I took some liberties with the placement of the Achernar factories in the FS and the remaining Earthwerks facilities in the FWL. I opted to refrain from guessing where some of the Corean, Reimai, extra Earthwerks and other factories were located. Since the AU suffers worse damage during the SWs than in canon, and I'm really only interested in seeing what "might" be around circa 2840 - it doesn't really bother me.

Worse case scenario I can always use some of these "unknown" factories in other ways. A found cache of equipment here, some industrial equipment there....

The idea is to get a basic picture of the Inner Sphere's factories circa 2840 so I can ruin them some more!  ;)

But your (and Blacknova's) help has been instrumental in getting this far along so quickly. Again, many thanks!

I guess I look at it from the viewpoint of what was there in 2785 (before everything fell apart) and then destroy it from there.

That's a better perspective than mine for sure, but since development of the storyline really only starts [u[after[/u] 2840 - after the HPG Blackout - having a comprehensive picture of the Inner Sphere's industries isn't as necessary, say as it would be for Shattered Dawn since your storyline is smack dab in the middle of 2785.

I'll say this about your preparations - they're most certainly helpful.

If anything, the really trouble is painting a decent overall picture of the state of the Inner Sphere. Take my other Travel & Technology thread for example...I'd love to hear your thoughts on that.

Did you get the Firebee factory that Capellan Defence Conglomerate had.  It was on Exedor and destroyed in the 1SW.

You know there is something wrong with the FWL, when Word's spell check changes Impavido to Impetigo and Zechetinu to Secretion.

A few notes:

-Orgus Industries on Marcus also built the UrbanMech (per TRO 3039) probably
 until is destruction

-Maltex Corporation on Errai also built the Assassin (per TRO 3039) until its destruction, though production rates slowed after
 the start of the SW's "to a crawl"

-Hollis Incorporated on Corey als built the Osprey(per TRO 3085) although in limited numbers for the SLDF, possibly until its
 destruction

- furthermore per TRO 3085 Arcturan Ams(later MacEnroe Motors) had a facility on Arcturus, though if it was still in operation
  in 2830-2840 is unclear


Hope this helps

Thanks for the update! Added to the file!

Yeah, I have it off Hessian while I run some modifications. It'll be back on soon enough! (Thanks for noticing!)  :P

I've finished half of the dice rolls. There have been some interesting results. In the interest of fairness they'll be kept, but Member Developers won't know the final disposition of their faction's manufacturing capabilities until they've been given their faction introductory booklet.

Don't want anyone peeking...

The finished Introductory Booklet will have all of the pertinent information for individuals interested in becoming a Member Developer and developing their own Faction. Right now only two factions have been assigned because of their importance to the central storyline, or because it's so flexible that handing it off early was a big help to me! ComStar of course, being one of these factions.

As I get closer to releasing the final Introductory Product I'll start posting how the how faction selection process works.
