Stainen Heavy Manufacturing

Stainen Heavy Manufacturing is a weapons manufacturer present in the Ascension Era.

History
Stainen HM was founded in 0030 AE by Jürgen Miller in former Germany. First a manufacturer of small arms, like their well-known Stainen F11 sub-machine gun and the Stainen L3 TAC assault rifle, they have slowly transitioned to large caliber weaponry, like the 185mm Stainen High Velocity smooth-bore gun.

In early 0035 AE, Stainen has moved its base of operations from Europe to Australia to cut on costs. Once the three power blocs have been founded, Stainen HM offered the blueprints of the Stainen S5 Heavy Machine Gun to the Independent States of Oceania. Being impressed by the up-to-date weapon, ISO gave the company a chance to produce the machine gun and other weaponry for their new mobile suits. The S5 machine gun is their most produced weapon, being adapted for ground defenses and support vehicles.

After the end of the war, Stainen had finished their S6 heavy machine gun that impressed the NEF government. The company was then tasked to produce weapons and a limited amount of mobile suits for the new government. After 0045 AE, they have oriented themselves to produce beam weaponry present in new mobile suit models.
