Alliance Industries Ltd.
camo:

Despite having easier access to clan equipment, Alliance Industries has been faced with some setbacks in developing drones that use exclusively Clan technology. Their chief critics of the program have been the Clan Snow Raven leadership who are concerned about Clan drone production taking resources away from their Lancers and regular forces. As a result, Alliance drones tend to rely on only pre-3050 Clan technology and do not utilize any advanced Clan materials such as Ferro-Fibrous or Endo-Steel. Although the incorporation of even old Clan weaponry still makes Alliance drones something to be feared, they tend to also be slightly more fragile and more expensive than their Inner Sphere counterparts.

Antallos Amalgamated Arms
camo:

"Triple A" (as it is commonly called) has never shied away from its image as a supplier of cheap alternatives to their competition. However, in this case "cheap" doesn't necessarily mean "poor quality". In fact Triple A prides itself on a no-frills, tough-as-nails approach to its products. This has allowed it to start from a simple backwater supplier to the fastest growing company in the periphery. It's drone line follows the same ideal as all of its other products. Unfortunately, their reluctance to use new technology means their AI programming is slightly inferior to their competition, but their customer base seldom complains.

HiveTech
camo:

Originating from the Terran Republic, enigmatic HiveTech was the first to establish drone manufacturing in the region. Today, the company maintains its reputation as the number one producer of quality drone technologies. Combined with their advanced missile systems, HiveTech drones strike a perfect balance of rugged dependability and lethal efficiency. Of all the various factions on Antallos, HiveTech maintains the most remote facilities and is the most secretive. Uninvited guests are warned to keep a safe distance... and with good reason.

Independence Weaponry
camo:

When Independence moved its operation to (at that time) Federated Suns territory, it forced them to re-evaluate their entire production line. No one loved big and loud guns more than the Feddies. If they hoped to survive, they had to adjust to that market's demands. Today, while they still carry the full selection of Star League era equipment, it is ballistic weaponry that is their specialty. From their gauss autocannon line to their famous Rail Gun, no one on Antallos offers a better selection of "hot metal death" than Independence Weaponry. Their drones reflect this same preference. Although relying heavily on ammo has its own vulnerabilities, none can deny their drones are an incredibly destructive force to be reckoned with.

Luthien Exports
camo:

Despite anti-Draconis efforts from domestic lawmakers to limit purchases from Luthien Exports, the company's drone line has become very popular with factions that need to operate far from supply lines. While Triple-A still caters to most buyers who are on a limited budget, LE's all-energy weapon-based drones are prized by those who can afford them. Without need for a steady supply of ammunition, these drones are particularly effective for raiding parties and guerrilla actions. Not surprisingly, LE also gains a lot of "attention" from criminal elements.

TECH TREES:
New technologies will be unlocked by gaining Reputation for each successful mission. Progression will be based on a component's individual BV; the greater the BV, the longer it will take to unlock. Each faction has some overlap in available tech, but each also has a specialization.
