I wonder what they were building there?

I'm thinking it is probably licensed common designs like the locust/stinger/wasp/Phawk/Tbolt/Archer etc.

No idea- I made it up when I wrote the entry for the Merc Book. It is possible that this is the predecessor to Olivetti Weapons and may have built the Warhammer and T-Bolt.

Update on Doering Electronics - HBHS says the company was founded during the 1st SW (which I don't like on principal-recent products have been downplaying the destructiveness of the Succession Wars and the inability to repair/rebuild factories.

In the new Periphery book p. 27 Rickard Londberg CEO of Doering's Concordat Subsidiary was assassinated on Taurus in 2753.

I will ask the writers on CBT but I am going to suggest that for SD we just make Doering predate the fall of the SL.

Updates from M&M
Defiance Ind -has factory on Kwangjong-Ni – when did it open? p. 93

Nashan Diversified – core computer industries are on Coventry p.93

Lockheed/CBM – civilian sales have always outpaced military p. 93

Tharkad was spared from direct combat & the savagery of the SWs   p. 94-95

Red Devil produces Battlemasters, Rifleman, Condor, Centipedes, Small Arms and Artillery Weapons in 3070 (all were produced prior to clan invasion) P. 131

Sudeten -unsettled until the reunification war, then became a major supply depot for RWR campaign.  As war raged on, the planet was fully settled and highly industrialized with “a sprawling mech & vehicle production facility”  Planet was target  of DC raids in early 1st SW and the factory was reduced to ruins.  The damage was limited to the production facilities but the rest of the planet's industries struggled to adapt to the loss of their main customer (are we talking component companies or raw material suppliers??) In 2990 Michael Ollivetti got the funding to rebuild the least damaged parts of the factory.  Olivetti Weaponry represents only a part of the original complex. (it's not clear if the weapons produced there were the ones that were originally built by the SLDF)P. 133

Trellshire Heavy Industries operates the Compton Iron Ore Mines on Sudeten and provides raw materials to Olivetti Weaponry.  p. 133

Red Devil Industries -Pandora – the planetary capital Deliverance is home to the Red Devil Assembly facility with parts shipped in for final assembly – at the start of the 30th Century it was expanded to a manufacturing facility  with many factories to support mech & vehicle production. p. 135

Trellshire Heavy Industries – once a “thriving & profitable Battlemech factory” has seen several ups & downs over the 31st century – (could have been fairly important factory in 2785) p. 152
