Next up is Lang Industries Incorporated, a plant making old Shadow Hawks. Just one line works, and they make one a month, of the old, 3025-era Shadow Hawk, without any restored technology at all. We could easily help them retool and expand into two lines. Project Phoenix could hit here on Caph! Lang was the first company to create the Shadow Hawk. It was on and off due to mis-spent capital and rebuilding destroyed lines and such over the centuries since. But it stubbornly held on.


There is another plant on planet, but it’s deeper in the decontaminated zone. It’s a former factory of Martinson Armaments, now just on Terra. It used to make BattleMechs, but we’re not sure what.



Exterminators used to be made here in a General Systems factory, but the factory appears to have been destroyed so much that it can’t be reclaimed.

Skobel Mechworks, now just on Terra, used to have a factory here that is near the Martinson Armaments factory. Many of these companies were in a large chain of mountains that were mined for Coltan, Bauxite, Iron, Gold, and Titanium. Multiple DropPorts were arrayed in the center of this mining complex, and that is where Skolbel, Martinson, General Systems, and another company had their facilities. They were guarded more easily here as well. But the contamination is deep here in the mountain, as would be expected, since it was the site of some explosions and such.

Stormvanger Assemblies was in this area too, and now just has a factory on Hesperus II. It made Cyclops and Javelin mechs. It was too destroyed to be rebuilt or refurbished as well.

But Skobel and Martinson are potentially salvageable. They were abandoned due to nuclear fallout from a bomb some distance away, (but not explosions from that bomb) and from biological agents that were used on the factory area themselves. The other two were destroyed by multiple kinetic explosions and energy weapons.

But it’s certainly conceivable that we could clean this up and reboot those factories with their mechlines.


Caph was one of the first worlds settled by people. So naturally there was a lot of industry built here too.

And with the investments in Caph’s military, production, and investment, it’s easy to see why we can continue to help these folks out from a huge level, while also getting some ourselves.



End of the Caph Campaign
