GalactaWerks Corporation

"I hear GalactaWorks has been pretty devastating to this sector. They have a hand in all trade in and out of the planet now. It's clearly taking its toll on local business. The only upside is that a percentage of Galactawork's profits feed back to the Republic."

"That does not justify this needless suffering. Slavery may be illegal in the Republic, this is hardly much better." - Jedi Masters Thurius and Sotah, regarding the situation on Onderon during the Avalan Crisis.

HISTORY

• Formed from a merger of several companies during the dark age that followed the New Mandalorian Crusades, including Czerka Arms and Baktoid Armour, GalactaWerks was crucial to the establishment of the Third Galactic Republic and has been a major figure in most Republic activities for the past one thousand years, growing to be larger and more powerful than any other mercantile organisation in the galaxy.
  
  With interests ranging from arms manufacturing, shipbuilding, and droid construction, GWC enjoys an uncomfortably close relationship with the Republic government, especially their biggest patron: Supreme Chancellor Paralles. Despite Paralles' own image as a kindly, if ineffective, leader, GalactaWerks is viewed as amoral, avaricious and invasive - and dangerously powerful.
  
  Integral to the Third Republic's infrastructure and with business interests scattered throughout the galaxy, the oft-hated GWC has involved itself on every level of civilisation, earning it the ire of the twice-rebellious Outer Rim Alliance. Cited as the cause of the two Outer Rim Conflicts, GalactaWerks is despised by many, seen as a colonial-political entity that even has its own paramilitary force - the GalactaWerks Marines - through which it serves as the Republic's de facto standing army.
