Cordite Customs

Cordite Customs is a small player on the galactic stage, lacking any planetary holdings of its own, it operates out of workshops located on influential planets. CC operated primarily as an aftermarket modification service when it began and, for the last 30 years, as a provider of bespoke designed vehicles and combat chassis for incredibly wealthy or influential individuals.

Following several major lawsuits after CC modified combat chassis began to make waves in the Karrakin House Games, Cordite Customs was forced into a more iterative phase of development and resulted in the company having to restructure its business operations to begin development of its own combat chassis designs rather than the customisations services it primarily offered. 

This new strategy has led to CC’s current business model.  CC will make a contract with an individual who is wanting the chassis where they get its exclusive rights for a number of decades before CC can then market this chassis to a wider audience using their achievements with the product and even their person's likeness as every product contains a Data Homunculus of them which is able to answer questions about the product should the need arise.

This strategy, while initially met with major criticism would eventually prove exceptional once the companies first major projects began to make a splash across the global stage and even more so now as several have now completed their initial closed contract and are now being opened up and becoming more available. 

Mechs developed by Cordite Customs are known for their legacy of incredible achievements with their first pilots. The chassis themselves are high tech, highly capable and unique.

This is a Lancer homebrew project primarily designed by me and a few  friends. I have really enjoyed working on this project and I hope you all enjoy this supplement. More to come at some point, so stay tuned!

This chassis focuses on utilising its suite of drones and comes equipped with mobile printers to replace destroyed drones allowing it to be able to deploy its whole legion of drones each engagement and overwhelm its foes.
