Mars and Sekkaris Mekwerks

[Nightgaun7]

Did we ever find out what happened to the WoB production facilities on Mars, especially Dr. Cortland's Fun House aka Sekkaris Mekwerks? Were they captured intact, captured but mostly destroyed, nuked from orbit...?

as far as Sekkaris Mekwerks goes, we know the Gibson branch died in the Regulan Exterminatus.. the martian branch i can't find anything on Sarna. i' guess that it was either destroyed in the recapture of the Sol system (or just after).. or survived, but got renamed by the Republic and switched to making something else.

Or the PR move of destroying the buildings with a Seraph outside . . . was all about destroying dummys.  The factory buildings were empty, stripped of everything possible which was put in storage and the Seraph was just a shell of a functional mech- no myomer, engine, gyro or head gear.

Oh yeah, Stone loaded all those captured Toyamas, Grand Crusaders, Initiates, Blakist mech models, Celestials & Demons on those Blakist warships & DS that survived and had them flown at the sun.  AT the sun . . . look at the press release, nothing ever said they were pulled in by the sun's gravity well.

Is this actually in one of the books?

No. But similar statements are made often, and usually assume that everyone involved in such disarmament/destruction programs are complete morons.

The Republic might have meant it, but we know the Cappies did not . . .

Per Jihad Final Reckoning (p107): "Mars is also pretty much a complete loss. Of the four major factories located there prior to the liberation, only Wangker Aerospace remains, having received only light damage in that campaign."  Of course it leaves open as to whether the other factories were destroyed in combat or sabotaged by the Blakists in order to deny them to the Coalition forces.  Likely a combination of both ie anything that wasn't destroyed in battle was sabotaged/blown up by Blakist agents.
