Lethbridge Industrial
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
- "The sustainable power of applied ingenuity"
- — Lethbridge Industrial's motto[1]
Lethbridge Industrial is a human corporation that innovates in large-scale gravitic control systems, who also develop specialized MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor and other materiel.[1] It is based in Lethbridge, Corsica, on the planet Concord.[2] Several of the company's technologies are used by SPARTAN-IV supersoldiers.[3] The Lethbridge Combat Fields is utilized by the corporation as a testing site for variants of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor [GEN2].[4]
History
Human-Covenant war
- Main article: Human-Covenant war
Lethbridge Industrial created many large-scale manufacturing plants on Sargasso by 2546; the town Belisk was built around these plants. The Office of Naval Intelligence had invested a large amount of money in the town's Lethbridge facilities to produce military-grade gear and munitions. When the Covenant attacked the planet in 2546, ONI sent in Orbital Drop Shock Troopers to recover valuable research data from the facilities. While Gamma-Six unknowingly served as a distraction, Alpha-Nine was tasked with retrieving the data from Lethbridge's headquarters in Belisk. Although the Covenant was unaware of the importance of the data in the facilities, they nonetheless sent out a contingent of soldiers to destroy the manufacturing plants.[5] Alpha-Nine was eventually successful in recovering the data from the facility,[6] and it was transported to Lethbridge, Concord.[5]
During the Battle of Mombasa in 2552, UNSC Marines took shelter in a Lethbridge Industrial building in New Mombasa Sector B. The building itself was then used by a Type-47A Scarab to cross into nearby canals.[7]
Post-war
In 2556, Lethbridge Industrial was one of several companies "Flagged for Review" by ONI after the Sedra terrorist attack.[8]

Production notes
This company is a reference to Dan Hammill, a Monitor on the Halo Waypoint forums and founder of Ready Up Live, and Jeff Wood, who is a staff member of the aforementioned community.[18] Both Hammill and Wood reside in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. Ready Up Live have created a tongue-in-cheek website for the company.
Halo Online
Lethbridge Industrial was supposed to be the owner of several locations in the now non-canon Halo Online. This includes the complexes seen in Reactor and Diamondback.
As well in Halo Online, Lethbridge were to continue to manufacture the VENATOR-class armor, but also manufacture two new sets; the SCEPTRE-class MJOLNIR and the BREAKER-class Mjolnir.
