Who is Kressly Warworks, Inc?
Kressly is not a super company with multiple factories across multiple worlds, like Defiance Industries or Johnston Industries. However, it has grown into something more than small company.
For decades, Kressly Warworks had created the Brutus Assault Tank, their bread and butter. They still make an updated Brutus with newer technology.
Over time, they added other vehicle lines, such as the Blizzard Hover Transport. In 3059 they’ll even introduce a police vehicle the 40 ton Dillenger support vehicle. Meanwhile they moved into the BattleMech market with the assault mech Attila, made by our unit as a powerful design that used twin PPCs and a strong suite of close range weapons to bring some serious pain to enemy units.
After that they introduced a few other mechs as suggested my K&C and their alliance. K&C donated some clan techs and clan technology which resulted in their creation of additional mechs and units.
Today Kressly Warworks, Inc makes a variety of mechs and tanks for a variety of situations and markets. They are the primary Mech company for the Celestial Coalition. They also deliver units to anyone with the right amount of CBills. Some of their mechs, such as the Lineholder, have been huge selling units, and for a year, the Lineholder was the fastest and best selling medium Mech in the Inner Sphere.
Here are the mechs Kressly currently produces:
Attila, 85 ton Assault mech, released in the early 3050s, the upgraded version had 2 ER PPC, lots of strong ginner weapons like medium lasers and SRMS, and a good profile for armor.
Lineholder – Designed to be a cheap but highly functional medium mech, this 55 ton mech was the 2nd off the lines of Kressly. It replaces a lot of open spots on rosters as battle damage accrued via the clans or the Chaos March.
Alexander – Based on the reliable Hunchback chassis, this medium mech is an Omni design. Because it was built with the flexibility to use both clan and inner sphere weapons, it’s a strong and flexible Mech with a lot of potential uses.
Bandersnatch – In order to up their lines and financial sales, Kressly licensed this assault mech which uses a lot of updated technology from a local firm on the planet of Terra Firma where they were made one by one by hand of several engineers. Kressly moved in and produced the base unit. Sales on the Bandersnatch have dropped and the unit will probably have a short run left and then be benched for a while.
Bumblebee – The next mech produced by Kressly was the light scout Mech the Bumblebee. With MASC to accelerate its speed, this 6/9(12)/6 unit, on a 35 ton frame, features a variety of short range weapons as well as solid armor.
Greyhound – This 60 ton quadruped ‘Mech was the first unit Kressly has produced in a quad design. It’s a 6/9 Mech with MASC as well. With maximum armor and 2 SRM6 Streak s and 3 ER Medium Lasers, it is intended to take advantage of the latest technology on the market.
Meanwhile, Kressly Warworks invested in the Lantern Corporation to help it get up and running on Bryant ,and purchased 20% of its stock. Now Lantern makes Grasshoppers and Quickdraws.
Kressly has been in talks with getting in a new selection of weapons and equipment, such as light gauss rifle, medium-range missiles or a rotary AC5. Hopefully a deal with be announced soon and a new design for the new era will follow quickly enough. That’s where the cash is. The Bandersnatch is old news. The Lineholder is too. What will be next?
