Even during the Star League era, the number of manufacturers capable of building a 'Mech like the BLR-1G was limited. After they won the bid to construct the 'Mech, Hollis Industries began production of the BattleMaster in 2830. Designed to be the largest and the most powerful 'Mech ever fielded by the Star League armies, the BLR-1G filled the bill.
The 'Mech's sheer size required special manufacturing facilities, which meant that Hollis could build the BattleMaster on only a few planets. The cost and materials for the 'Mech also limited production somewhat.
