Yarthus' Machine Smithers

Yarthus' Machine Smithers is an industrial vehicle and aircraft manufacturer, headquartered on the Jiralhanae colony of Morathel. They sided with the Torchbearers during the Great Schism.

Beginning as one of many front-companies established by Jiralhanae warlords to service their raiding vessels during the Feudal Period, this company would have long been forgotten had it not been for Emericum, a gifted Dispossessed machinist. He turned the company's fortunes around with a series of simple but very capable and innovative heavy vehicle designs, and his management ability eventually saw him become one of the few Jiralhanae trusted to operate assembly forges. Yarthus' walkers and Shrouds have a well-earned reputation for toughness and reliability that few other competitors can match, and their lighter vehicles, though bulky and overbuilt, can still tow very large loads for their size. However, their attempts to expand into weapons and starship fabrication has been slow and flawed, largely thanks to opposition from Sangheili bureaucrats.

Given the threat from raiders and later Sangheili strike teams, Yarthus' foundries are built like fortresses, and are so well protected that even capital ships struggle to breach them. This, coupled with the fact they often use slave labor, made them very difficult targets for the Concord of Reconciliation to take during the Great Schism.
