'''Hannibal Weapon Systems''' ('''HWS''') is a [[human]] ordnance and matériel manufacturer founded by [[Jack Hannibal]] and based out of the [[Pori]] region of [[New Carthage]]. Its primary research and development, manufacturing, and testing sites are located in the industrial township of [[Kotka]],{{Ref/Book|Id=EVG228|H4EVG|Page=228}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=HPoL19|HPoL|Chapter=19}} while its corporate [[Hannibal HQ|headquarters]] is in the city of [[Pilvros]].{{Ref/Reuse|HPoL19}} The corporation often manufactures hardware for the [[United Nations Space Command]], specializing in security technology development, small arms, and recently [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor]].<ref name="close quarters">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-close-quarters ''Halo Waypoint'': Canon Fodder - Close Quarters]</ref>


==History==
==History==
===Founding===
Although Hannibal Weapon Systems generally specialized in security technology development and small arms, HWS now primarily focuses on the manufacturing of [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|Mjolnir armor systems]]. The corporation has recently begun working with the [[United Nations Space Command]] to produce prototype upgrades to various vehicle systems, including the [[M820 Scorpion]] and [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark IX Mantis]].<ref name="close quarters"/>
In [[2474]], the Hannibal family settled on thirty acres within [[New Carthage]]'s [[Pori]] region. This land would eventually become the city of [[Pilvros]], named after [[Jack Hannibal|Jack Pilvros Hannibal]]. By [[2505]], the family had constructed a building—later becoming [[Hannibal HQ]]—over the site of a [[Pori Meteor|strange meteor]] and buried [[Forerunner]] structure. Six years later, Jack Hannibal had produced the first small-scale quantum photonic amplifier for [[SATCOM]] relays, revolutionizing the speed and integrity of extraplanet communications. Hannibal was hailed as a genius and he founded a lucrative new corporation, without anyone suspecting that these advancements were likely due to Hannibal's experiments with Forerunner technology.{{Ref/Reuse|HPoL19}}


===Military contracting===
In [[2555]], shortly after [[Vestol Corporation]]'s extant assets were liquidated, Hannibal Weapon Systems acquired production rights to Vestol's [[ROGUE-class Mjolnir]].<ref name="h4evg177">'''Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 177''</ref> In [[2556]], Hannibal Weapon Systems was "Flagged for Review" by the [[UNSC Navy]]'s [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] after the [[Terrorist attack on Sedra City|terrorist attack]] on [[Sedra]].<ref name="Halo Nightfall">'''[[Halo: Nightfall]]''', ''[[Halo: Nightfall: ONI: Walk the Path|ONI: Walk the Path]]''</ref>

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Just as New Carthage is named after the ancient city of [[Wikipedia:Carthage|Carthage]], Hannibal Weapon Systems (or more specifically, its founder) is named in reference to [[Wikipedia:Hannibal|Hannibal]], an infamous Carthaginian general who is considered one of the greatest military leaders in history. The company's logo references this fact, as it features two elephants in profile with a mountain peak, referencing [[Wikipedia:Hannibal's crossing of the Alps|Hannibal's crossing of the Alps]] with an army which included war elephants.
