I want to say long ago it was established the ER laser boat Black Knight and 8D Guillotine where all made at the same place or something.  Of course, I can't remember where that was found "in print."

NM, was thinking of the Black Knight fluff from 3050u.... no mention of the Guillotine there

It's an interesting source, but I find myself having to cross-check the sources a little too often for it to be useful. Some of the data seems to come out of nowhere.

Interesting to note that the guy who created works for CGL now....

He didn't when OR:3067 was being put together. Maybe he'd like to chime in on this thread? I'm curious to know the sources of the data. Some aren't published in any book or PDF I own. And that includes just about everything published to-date.

...Being the collector of fan-produced projects that I am, I can explain a bit.  Culling information from official sources left a raft of incomplete and unknown facts, so he tried to match product and manufacturer as closely as possible.  For a more detailed explaination you'd have to ask him.

From the introduction of OR:3067

Quote
While every effort was made to be completely canon, there are a handful of BattleMech & vehicle designs and a preponderance of components with no canonical data regarding their manufacturer. Rather than leave these out, I chose to create a book which is complete in it’s contents and thoroughly usable as the original was intended, and incorporated them into Objective Raids: 3067. I took into account a myriad of data before deciding on the most sensible, if noncanonically verified place of manufacture, and no canonical information was disregarded.

I don't actually do much reading of fan stuff.  So I'm not sure why it would have been the OR67, but you never know, it may be that 1 in 50 things I looked at.
Still, I swore I read it at my FLGS, I really thought it was the Davion Handbook.

As far as I can tell, the Guillotine doesn't appear in the Davion Handbook or the Davion Objectives. It pretty much appears out of nowhere.
