LAW-Barcella Beta was a facility on Irece originally controlled by Clan Nova Cat before being taken over by the Draconis Combine.

Overview

After Clan Nova Cat's flight from the Clan Homeworlds following their Trial of Abjuration, they managed to disassemble a few of their production facilities, including Barcella Beta, and shifted them to the Draconis Combine. It was one of the Cat's larger producers of combat vehicles,[citation needed] and the 'Mech production annex (designated Barcella Alpha) produced unique variants of the Griffin IIC.[1] Reports suggest that the Ishtar was produced at Barcella Beta as well.[citation needed]

During the Jihad, the facility lost about a third of its staff and capital, and was only operating at 80% of its maximum output in 3079.[3]

After the Nova Cat rebellion of the early Dark Age, the Combine seized the plant and it was assigned to Luthien Armor Works, becoming known as LAW-Barcella Beta. Engineers from LAW dismantled the factory to study and reverse engineer its technology, and in early 3145 the Cizin was being produced at LAW's Luthien facility.[2]

Barcella Beta has a manufacturing center on the following planet:

Irece

Originally located on the Barcella, the Barcella Beta complex was moved to Irece during Clan Nova Cat's flight from the Homeworlds.[citation needed]
