Seeing the term lostech just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

[Hannes]

Founded on Feburary 27 2340, Firmir Commercial was a manufacturer of medical, scientific and consumer electronic products, particularly for entertainment systems.^[1][2] With a reputation for low cost, reliable equipment, Firmir is a household name across the Capellan Confederation. Firmir continues to offer a complete line of several product types, ranging from entry level to sought after high end products for the discerning buyer.^[3] After the 4th Succession War, Romano Liao's urgent rearmament push provided a large demand for laser weaponry. ^[1]Seeing the opportunity to enter a new market Firmir licensed a number of Magna Enterprises designs from the Star League era. In addition to this cloned line of products, Firmir also set about designing their own indigenous laser weaponry systems.

Both ER Large Lasers and Pulse Lasers are LosTech recovered from the Helm Memory Core.

Quote

The first ER laser system, the ER Large Laser was initially created for use by the Star League. Much like the pulse laser, the ER laser was lost to the Inner Sphere due to the Succession Wars.

-----

Pulse lasers were initially developed for use by the SLDF during the Star League Era(2450). Like much of the advanced technology of the period, the ability to make pulse lasers was lost to the Inner Sphere during the Succession Wars. It was only with the discovery of the Helm Memory Core that the various Inner Sphere powers could reproduce the technology.

IS ER Large Lasers were redeveloped in 3037.
IS ER Medium and Small Lasers were (will be) redeveloped from captured Clan models in 3058.
IS Pulse Lasers (all sizes) were redeveloped in 3037.

It must have been the small pulse laser used for the Urbanmech UM-R63. I can't think of a better reason to give someone an award than building parts for Urbanmechs!

The Kador family symbolizes the grandeur of the empire. The family has had the most emperors elected in the past and to most Amarrians they stand for the strong, majestic empire of the old...oh wait, wrong game. My bad.

[Adridos]

Well, if these little news flashes had something to do with the game, it would mean we get access to lostech when our "honor meter" raises to a certain point. Problem with that, however, is the fact, that it would mean most of us would use lostech and it would loose all its meaning.

Let's just stick with a nice ISN news flash from our house.

Aaaaaaanyway, there was a helpful post above that should clue us in on what this news flash is really about: advances in energy weapons by the Capellans. Magna Enterprises was famed for its designs during the Star League era, ranging from fusion engines, PPCs and infantry-scale heavy laser rifles to the most advanced pulse lasers. Most important, however, is the research and development of improved original designs by Firmir, resulting in new models of standard laser weapons as well as developing extended-range variants. The advent of brand-new weapons systems is nothing short of miraculous following the hundreds of years of technological stagnation and decline brought about by the fall of the Star League.

Fimir Weaponry (the military division of Fimir Commercial) have a laser factory on Betelgeuse, Sian Commonality, Capellan Confederation in 3031, because fighting over it is the first scenario in First Strike (FASA, ISBN 1-55560-283-5).
