Alge Imperial Shipyards Incorporated is a private military corporation geared primarily towards the production of starships ranging in size from starfighters to semi-unique batches of Star Destroyer class warships, as well as many of the weapons and defensive systems attached to them. While as a private corporation it in theory does business with any individual or organization aside from those rejected by the board of directors, in practice the overwhelming majority of its contracts come directly from either the Imperial Confederation or the Diarchy, the latter of whom controls the Borosk system itself.
Despite its name and its primary customers, Alge Imperial is not directly affiliated with any Empire or Imperial faction, and is willing to create custom products for non-Imperial groups as long as its Imperial contracts are not jeopardized as a result. Nonetheless, Alge Imperial is often viewed as closely associated with the Diarchy as well as the Imperial Confederation through its chief stockholder,
While not as blatantly greedy and exploitative as certain large galactic corporations, Alge Imperial’s workplace culture is nonetheless shaped by a constant drive for innovation and improved manufacturing capabilities. To this end, Alge Imperial boasts a very large R&D department with dedicated facilities in Alge itself and extensive research contracts with the Diarchy Armed Forces. Breakthroughs are rewarded with significant paychecks, and the leaders of failed projects are cast aside. Alge Imperial’s executives are also unafraid to lay waste to areas with low or no sentient population in order to build new factories or harvest resources.
Overall, Alge Imperial Co. balances a fine line: between being a private entity and a tool of empires, between being a scientific enterprise and a military machine, and between being a pet project of one man and a pluralistic corporation with a galactic market.
HISTORY
Alge Imperial Shipyards has its origins in the collapse of the New Imperial Order, which resulted in the majority of former Imperial worlds losing the ability to maintain their fleets. With only a small number of Imperial remnants having access to former New Imperial shipyards, other warlords sought to establish their own independent shipbuilding capacity to avoid being conquered by their neighbors.
In 883 ABY, an orbital shipyard was commissioned to allow Borosk to maintain Task Force Citadel, its patchwork defense fleet. In 886 ABY, construction on Borosk Imperial Shipyard was completed, giving the planet a domestic shipbuilding capacity that would later be augmented by smaller ground facilities on Borosk itself in the city of Alge. From 886 to 900 ABY, Borosk Imperial Shipyard and its support facilities were owned by the Borosk Imperial Remnant itself, where it was seen as a vital measure for national security.
Operations at Borosk Imperial Shipyard were privatized by FN-999 following the Dark Imperial invasion of Borosk. Anticipating the Dark Imperial regime’s eventual collapse and not wanting to tie Borosk’s hard-won manufacturing capacity to Dark Imperial fortunes, FN-999 privatized the shipyard and its support facilities under the name of Alge Imperial Shipyards, temporarily ceding it to Dark Imperial investors.
However, this transfer of power only lasted a few months. By early 901 ABY, FN-999 had once more taken the helm of Alge Imperial with a controlling stake. Deliberately pursuing a financially conservative policy to build up savings, Alge Imperial was able to weather the collapse of the Dark Empire better than most. Since then, Borosk has changed hands, now under control of the Diarchy, which has allowed Alge Imperial to continue its operations largely unmolested.
RATIONALE
Shortly after FN-999 privatized Borosk Imperial Shipyard and its support facilities in his capacity as Baron of Borosk, he sought to restore the commanding influence he had held over the shipyard when it was a state-owned company. To achieve this, he carefully siphoned off funds given to him by the Dark Empire as Moff of Borosk, building up a sizable stockpile of credits. Once he had enough credits on hand, FN-999 purchased a 51% stake in the newly reorganized Alge Imperial Shipyards, wresting control from Dark Imperial loyalists.
When the Dark Empire collapsed barely a year after its foundation, FN-999 took advantage of the uncertain situation of many ex-Dark Imperial investors to purchase many of their own stakes at a reduced price, acquiring at his height a 78% total stake in Alge Imperial. He would then sell portions of his stakes off to his most trusted economic advisors on Borosk, returning to a 51% stake while leaving day-to-day operations in the hands of the civilian board of directors. While for the most part absentee chairman satisfied to let his more experienced board of directors carry out their tasks, FN-999 sometimes intervenes in company affairs to request specific products or cancel deals with forces hostile to the Imperial Confederation.
