	~~Tehachapi was created by~~ Claude ~~Gadkarii and Heizo Tam. Gadkarii met~~ a ~~mysterious armourer named Tehachapi~~ in [[StarCitizen:~~Olympus~~]] who ~~manufactured impressive pieces of custom armour~~. ~~Later on he tried~~ to ~~find the armourer to strike a deal, but the armourer had just fled~~ the ~~system after a dispute with~~ [[StarCitizen:~~Nescus~~]], a ~~local warlord~~.		The company traces its origins to Claude Gadkari, a middle-class native of [[StarCitizen:New Junction]] in the [[StarCitizen:Corel system]] who left home as a trainee aboard a salvage crew that turned out to be running smuggling operations. During a run to [[StarCitizen:Olympus]] in the [[StarCitizen:Nul system]], Gadkari bought a set of custom armor from a stall vendor, pieces that combined repurposed ship plating with reinforced polymer fabrics. The suit drew frequent compliments and purchase offers over the years, which convinced Gadkari that he could build something similar himself.<ref name="jp0904">{{Cite Jump Point\|title=Portfolio: Tehachapi\|volume=9\|month=4\|startpage=32\|endpage=33\|accessdate=2021-04-30}}</ref>

Unable to locate the vendor, Gadkari searched bazaars across the systems while running legitimate cargo to make ends meet. In [[StarCitizen:Nexus system\|Nexus]] he met Heizo Tam, who ran a small armor repair stand and offered to repair Gadkari's suit in order to study how it was made. The two formed a partnership: Tam would source raw materials and craft the suits, while Gadkari would provide capital and handle distribution. They named the company Tehachapi after the lost Olympus vendor.<ref name="jp0904" />
