Master Aulaus Kreshnik made a lot of odd and risky choices when he took over Pritchard & Terse.
Though the company built up a modest presence in the Rubarthan mech market over the years, The Great Severing affected P&T much more than other companies!
Due to the company's relatively light footprint in the Red Ocean, the branch headquarters found itself unable to bear the burden of updating its entire first-class mech catalog.
The competitive pressure was too high. Whereas other mech companies transferred plenty of Master Mech Designers and a lot of other supporting infrastructure to the new frontier, P&T only had Master Kreshnik, a bunch of contributing mech designers and a lot of low-ranking mech designers not worth mentioning!
This put P&T far behind its other competitors in the Rubarthan Pact!
Since the start of the Hyper Generation, every existing client and customer clamored for hyper mechs.
