System: Talitha

One of the "Golden Ten" universities of the Star League, the College of Talitha speciallized in Design studies. Its students learned how to design everything from personal hygiene devices to JumpShips. There were close ties between this college and Hegemony Research and Development Centers. The Amaris forces were quick to search through its records and secret projects. They left little behind. Today the college stands abandoned.

[3067] Founded by FWLM MechWarrior Angus Gilmour in 3023, Gilmour MilTech began as a maintenance contractor for Talitha’s planetary militia, but soon expanded into custom rebuilding and equipment reconditioning, mainly to support mercenary concerns. The company weathered the storms of the FedCom occupation and became a major supplier to the AFFC as well as maintaining links to the FWLM via what were officially mercenary contracts.

Returned to League sovereignty after Operation Guerrero, Gilmour built up strategic partnerships with a number of companies, including Hollings-Dupre, Ltd. Subsequently, the company began to manufacture new designs, including the CNS-5M Cronus, an upgrade of the older home-grown CNS-3M model that originally emerged from Gilmour’s lines during the Fourth Succession War. The company has yet to diversify further — most of its resources remain committed to maintenance contracts and rebuilding battlefield wreckage — but Angus Gilmour has stated his intent to release a new BattleMech design, possibly as soon as next year.
