Amidala Factory Complex Sprawled Out Across The Gallo Mountains
Source (x)

Description: Straddling the Gallo Mountains of Naboo is a colossal and ugly Gunmetal collections of factories and residential blocks called "Amidala Factory Complex" This Complex which stretches out for kilometers in all directions from its' central headquarters tower was constructed and is owned by the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation and is responsible for producing everything ranging from civil household white goods to colossal Bidepal God-Like war engines such as the Princeps and Audax-Class Walkers. The Employees working at the Amidala Factory Complex are almost exclusively recruited from the local Human Naboo people who are accommodated for months at a time in the Complexes' expansive and tall residential towers complete with recreational areas including several gyms and pool but also dining facilities operating out of leased spaces. The Amidala Factory Complex is so gargantuan and massive it can be observed from Geosynchronous orbit and for this reason it is protected by a surface deflector shield generator which can encapsulate the entire facility for protection against space debris or more odiously, bombardment from beyond the atmosphere. The Amidala Factory Complex is notable for its' production of unarmed civil starships such as large liners with most non-military designs being constructed here rather than at the Hammond-Sarnova Shipbuilding Plant as secrecy isn't a necessary feature for the regular civilian shipbuilding industry and the cost of placing an order with the Amidala Factory Complex rather than the second shadowy shipyard is significantly cheaper.

Power is supplied to the Amidala Factory Complex through four pinch-sized Hydrogen-Tritium Nuclear Fusion Reactors producing approximately one-hundred and fifty terrawatt hours each, more than sufficient to provide greater than adequate power for such a mind-bogging large facility. Throughout the Complex extensive use of T-series droids are found when it comes to performing manual labour and applying the use of hand-tools under the supervision of talented organic craftsmen and workers, this drastically increases production output and as a result the Amidala Factory Complex can produce approximately 100,000 Armoured Fighting Vehicles including fully-sized combat-laying bipedal or quadrepedal walkers, tracked, wheeled or repulsor Tanks a standard calendar quarter (3 months). When it comes to Warship or Civilian Liners the Amidala Complex can successfully construct fifteen Frigate-Sized vessel in 720 hours from when the keel is laid and one star-destroyer sized vessel in approximately 2,160 hours from when its' keel is laid down making it an incredibly efficient shipyard although it only possesses forty-five drydocks which is a farcry from the seven-hundred plus drydocks possessed by Hammond-Sarnova Shipbuilding Plant. In terms of small arm production, as an example the Amidala Factory Complex at full production can produce an order for around one hundred million blasters or slugthrowers every standard calendar quarter or per three months making it a staggeringly important Mid-Rim weapon manufacturing resource for a government interested in contracting the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation to design or manufacture weapons.

Description: Located within the fabulously beautiful and stunning Theed City of Naboo is Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation's premier Mid-Rim Hotel affectionately called "The Athenian" it has an emphasis on luxury befitting the planet catering primarily to wealthy and professional clientele while also featuring affordable accommodation packages which can are usually within reach of the Middle-Classes. The Athenian doubles as a Sales Centre for the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation with subterranean storefronts stocked with demonstration-scale residential models, fully-sized examples of luxury speeders and even a small arms store carrying everything from blasters to slugthrowers and personal protective equipment where members of the IMC's loyalty rewards program can browse products and place orders with their factories to take delivery at a later time. The Athenian's sheer luxury is on the wrong side of hilarious showcasing its' parent Corporation's immense ridiculously staggering wealth it is constructed almost exclusively from genuine granite, marble and titanium which includes even the entry-level rooms. Leather and fine Silks are commonplace and the Athenian's rooms can even have their mattresses changed on request to suit each Client's orthopaedic and sleeping needs as appropriate, the staff go to impressive lengths to ensure that their customer's stay is a pleasant one with stunning views of Theed city afforded to every single room with the Athenian reaching a total height of one-thousand one-hundred meters.

Its' gargantuan penthouse suite is exclusively reserved for use by the Sarnova family with more than three dozen presidential suite rooms for high-profile state guests, the IMC is more than willing to have the Athenian host diplomatic meetings between ambassadors from differing intergalactic powers.
Despite the size of the structure, Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation keeps its' employee manpower requirements low through liberal use of T-series droids wearing flawless synthskin sheaths who act as concierges and kitchen staff preparing meals with perfect adherence to sanitation and meal preparation policy. Meals are served in an A la carte dining restaurant on the lobby floor with the capacity to seat approximately five-hundred guests at any one time with the Restaurant opening and closing three times a day for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner naturally. There are no less than three all-day fully-equipped gyms staffed with nine organic personal trainers to help guests with all their fitness and nutrition needs for the duration of their stays, the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation takes fitness very seriously and permits all of their employees to access these facilities when they are not at work. Additionally, as a perk of employment at the Athenian each employee is provided with special employee-only entry-level accommodation on one of the Hotel's lower floors. However, this is a reward and the IMC can and will revoke access to this accommodation as part of hard disciplinary action. Despite the working-class connotations of in-room dining, Daan Sarnova was insistent on including it as a service offered by the Athenian due to her own girlhood experience of briefly living in a hotel with her parents as a matter of necessity and enjoying the In-room dining service offered at that establishment.

The Bonteri Fuel-Processing Facility during Daylight Hours on Geonosis

Description: The Bonteri Fuel-Processing Facility is a colossal Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation facility spanning over four-hundred acres and is responsible for processing raw materials harvested within the Geonosis Systems' Sun Ra into usable Hypermatter Fuel for Starships. The Facility produces approximately eighty-seven billion litres of Hypermatter Fuel every single standard day and is instrumental for Interstellar Travel and economies throughout the Outer Rim Territories as fuel that is refined and produced at the Bonteri Plant is shipped through merchant vessels all across the Galaxy. All throughout the day and night, the Bonteri Fuel-Processing Plant's local Nuclear Fusion reactors belch out steam into the sky from their cooling exhausts and this strategically and the economically crucial facility is protected by the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation's own Marine Corps along with Naval Assets, keeping a squadron of ships mainly Frigates and Cruisers docked in underground hangers at all times.

Constructed carefully according to an architectural plan the facility is shaped vaguely like a Hexagon with a central control centre located in the middle of this Hexagon. The Central Control Centre is staffed with more than thirty employees who monitor the variety of Fusion Reactor Cores and Processing Plants located within Bonteri Facility and are capable of immediately stopping the fuel-processing centrifuges in any Processing Plant or all of them at a moment's notice. Within Bonteri there is a dedicated barracks for IMC Paramilitary Service personnel and residential facilities where IMC Employees reside, as the Bonteri Facility is located in a remote Hilly Region of Geonosis so that the Facility can receive large volumes of raw materials via freighters without interruption. Hypermatter Fuel can be purchased wholesale from the Bonteri Fuel-Processing Facility which is popular with Bounty Hunters and Explorers who prefer to avoid paying premiums at stations located throughout the Galaxy. All in all, in twenty-four standard hours the Bonteri Fuel-Processing Facility produces enough Hypermatter Fuel to fuel a Venator-Class Star Destroyer's Reactor for twenty-five days of continuous operation, making this a location of incredible Strategic Importance.

IMC Paramilitary Services Camp Navarro Surface Facility
Source (x)

Description: Camp Navarro is an IMC Paramilitary Service facility constructed on the surface of Geonosis as a facade for a massive training facility and barracks. Camp Navarro is shared between the IMC Marine Corps and IMC Colonial Navy and despite its' ostensibly modest size the surface conceals a massive subterranean facility with more than four-meter thick durasteel walls that can withstand a direct hit from a several megaton Nuclear Fission warhead or sustained turbolaser bombardment and was constructed under an opaque sensor-baffling dome to maintain its' secrecy. The surface facility is characterised by four-meter thick 4.2M high Dursteel-Reinforced concrete walls with two different raising and lowering gates for street access, there is a number of Heavy Turbolaser batteries mounted on concrete wall posts and just outside the durasteel-reinforced ferrocrete wall which is unmanned and controlled by Camp Navarro's supercomputer giving it an effective counter to armoured units or warships attempting to advance upon the Paramilitary Facility, in addition, there is a Deflector Shield Generator which can be activated to confer protection from physical or energy projectiles.

There are no less than four vehicle hangers which can house several large walkers and armoured fighting vehicles each along with a three-story barracks sufficient to house a whole reinforced Company of IMC Marines who provide the Camp's topside security team. In one corner of Camp Navarro near the headquarters building is a trio of landing pads which can service Starfighter-sized craft up to a length and width of approximately fifty meters. Access to the Subterranean Facility is made via a massive cargo turbolift located within the headquarters building's basement but this isn't the only point of access, there are a number of tunnels and gargantuan concealed elevators bored into Geonosis' surface which lead into the Subterranean Facility which can be used for the ingress and egress of equipment, supplies, personnel or even Warships. Camp Navarro has enough subterranean Hanger volume to store no less than three battlecruisers and twelve-star destroyers in addition to more than fifteen squadrons of fighters. Camp Navarro was constructed as a crisis command centre for the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation and possesses numerous vaults for the storage of previous heavy metals, credits and physical currency. Camp Navarro is sufficiently protected to be considered a fallout panic shelter and cannot be practically accessed from the outside when fully sealed, the subterranean bunker beneath the facility is a self-sustaining community with waste recycling, garbage incinerators, hydroponic labs for food production, hospitals and laboratories which can be used for pathology, research and drug production.

Assembled T-Series droid on a Hammond Foundry Production Line

Description: On the Colony World of Carida is a subterranean foundry constructed almost two centuries ago during the four-hundred-year darkness by the Company that would become the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation. The Foundry stretches more than five kilometers deep into Carida's crust, it was a deliberate architectural decision to protect the production facility which covers an area equivalent to approximately forty-five square kilometers. Hammond Robotics Foundry by virtue of being constructed within a self-sustained fallout-rated subterranean facility was to protect Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation's significant and expensive financial assets, production is the Corporation's lifeblood and they take significant steps to ensure security. There are approximately sixteen different commercial offices, delivery and pick-up points scattered across Carida's surface that can provide access down into the Production Facility via gargantuan sized turbolifts some of which exceed four-hundred meters in height and one kilometer in length. To prevent intruders from accessing the Hammond Robotics facility IMC Marines and Droid Personnel stationed within the facility's subterranean control centre can remotely disable the five-kilometer long turbolift shafts, in addition, the shafts themselves contain redundant three meter thick horizontal durasteel bulkheads that can be closed to prevent unauthorised access and contain the flow of contamination.

Contamination control is important as the Hammond Foundry Production Lines are powered by several 10,000 Terrawatt Nuclear Fusion Reactors, and while as Nuclear Fusion Reactors they are highly stable there is an omnipresent consideration given to the threat that a Terrorist or Saboteur may attempt to compromise them and severely damage or cripple the facility. Thus, there is considerable compartmentalization present within the design. Hammond Robotics Foundry is responsible approximately 30% of all Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation Droid, Walker and Powered Assault Armour production output making it a hugely valuable facility for the IMC and within is a sizeable garrison of approximately three-thousand IMC Marines. This isn't to mention the batches of Battle Droids who are assembled within who would be activated and used to battle any intruders who dared to venture within IMC's Private Property without authorisation. There are ominous warnings hanging on electrified fences around the Foundry's surface offices and consignment delivery/reception facilities that read in High Galactic. "Warning, Private Property. Authorised Personnel and Visitors Only. Violent trespassers will be shot." If that wasn't enough of a deterrent there are several closed-circuit multi-vision spectrum surveillance cameras scattered throughout the surface and subterranean facility which can beam holo transmissions to IMC headquarters on Geonosis, alerting the board to any unfolding situation. Located within the expansive Forgofshar Desert on Carida, Hammond Robotics Fondry's subterranean complex includes survival chambers in the event of a catastrophic cave-in and even residential facilities with appropriate amenities. It doubles as a Fallout Shelter equipped with closed-circuit life support with access to deep subterranean water acquifers and possesses internal volume for hydroponic food production labs, a Garbage Incincerator, Waste Recycling Facility, Hospital and Laboratories. Hammond Foundry is capable of hot-bunking a Population of 100,000 although in normal operations only one-tenth of that maximum in employees occupy it at any given time.

Hammond-Sarnova Shipbuilding Plant with IMC Navy Fleet in a protective posture

Description: Hanging high above the icy Kaminoan moon of Korasa is a Geosynchronous space station and shipbuilding dockyard called the "Hammond-Sarnova Shipbuilding Plant" It is at this secretive and highly secure Shipyard that the IMC produces everything from Luxury Liners to Warships for its' own Corporate Fleets and Customers alike. H-S Dockyard is home to one-hundred thousand organic employees who are required to sign Non-Disclosure Agreements prior to working at the shadowy facility which possesses no outward windows as they are perceived to be design flaws and might offer to identify information for Employees aboard the station who really don't necessarily need to know where they are and prevent the visibility of internal lighting from afar as well as conceal thermal emissions from the Dockyard. Korasa was chosen as the site for the Thirty Kilometer long and wide dockyard due to the Kamino System being located beyond the Rishi Maze Dwarf Galaxy within the space beyond the normal galaxy, The Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation prefers to work on their ships in quiet secrecy and fiercely protect this station with their own armed "IMC Navy" which is apart of IMC's Paramilitary Services Branch.

The Hammond-Sarnova Shipbuilding plant is largely staffed with T-Series Droids who perform a large majority of the physical production tasks under the supervision of master craftsmen and Interstellar Engineers recruited from Mon Cala and Kamino, anybody who has laid eyes on an IMC-Designed Warship or Merchant Vessel will instantly identify the bulbous organic and obtuse angles so prominent in Mon Calamari Warships. Each vessel is equal parts feat of engineering and artistry stunning and beautiful to behold, due to the Engineers who work on them every single Interstellar-faring vessel constructed wat the H-S Shipbuilding Plant is dual-designed as a submersible which can dive beneath the waves of oceans for exploration, concealment and pleasure cruising respectively. The shipyards are constructed to house its' workers in comfortable luxurious habitation blocks for whole standard calendar years at a time and are comparable to a small city in the types of amenities and recreational activities available to them with nature reserves and parks common throughout. In addition, since the station itself is unarmed there is a sizeable presence of IMC Marines aboard the station supplemented by T-series droids who protect the Yards and Employees from Trespassers.

24/7 Closed-Circuit High Definition Multi-Spectrum Surveillance is maintained all across the facility with the recorded data being stored and uploaded to servers stored within the Kikla Medical Research Centre and the Tower of Whills headquarters on Geonosis. The Production Output of the Hammond-Sarnova Shipbuilding Plant is only exceeded with any certainty by Kuat Drive Yards itself, the H-S Shipbuilding Plant can construct a large Corvette-Sized Warship in one-hundred and eleven hours on average after its' keel is laid up with time taken to fully construct and launch a large Star Destroyer being on average about one-thousand and eighty standard hours. In total, the Hammond-Sarnova Shipbuilding Yard possesses sufficient internal volume sufficient to construct seven-hundred and fifty Spacefaring vessels simultaneously at maximum capacity.

Kikla Medical Research Centre Patient Entrance Inside Timira City

Description: Located within the closed, sterile and secure environment of Timira City, Kamino the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation maintains a large Pharmaceutical Research Centre and Fully-Staffed Hospital that can offer diagnostic and treatment services to IMC Employees who receive generous healthcare plans and Clients. The Hospital has a clinical focus on biological engineering and is home to a significant number of Cloners and Geneticists with most of the Employees here being recruited from the incredibly talented and intelligent Kaminoan Species. It is on Kikla that the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation produces Genetically-Modified organisms as seen in Project: Revenant and Project: Afterlife which began as a Human-Kaminoan Project sanctioned by the First Order Security Bureau to create a new line of "Death Troopers". Other novel services offered by at the hospital's many clinics and wards include fertility consultations and the construction of prosthetics, the latter of which IMC has become famous for as Kikla Hospital produces fully biological prosthetic material from cloned tissue taken from the individual who is supposed to receive it reducing risk of rejection to practically zero and allowing their patients to receive an unchanged quality of life.

Necessary, Cosmetic and Elective Surgery can be performed under local or general anaesthetic within the Kikla Research Centre with most Surgeons like the other employees being sourced from the local Kaminoan Population. There additionally exists a Psychiatric Ward which can provide mental health care plans and psychological treatment for patients on an In-Patient setting. Due to the remote nature of Kikla most patients of the Hospital itself are received on an in-patient setting and thus many of the individuals who seek treatment here are often in the middle of receiving end-of-life palliative care or treatment for life-threatening illness or malignancies. The Oncology and Paediatric wards within Kikla are famous throughout the Outer Rim and Unknown Regions for the gentle touch its' Staff in these particular wards provide to their patients. As a Research Centre there is a significant portion dedicated to Pathology Testing and indeed Kikla might just house one of the largest Pathology Testing centres outside of the Colonies with the IMC's healthcare subsidiary that operates Kikla during the day-to-day being contracted by several Colonial Governments, healthcare providers and private companies to provide Pathology and Pre-Employment Medicals.

The Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation maintains a modest garrison of IMC Marines within Kikla who are charged with protecting the property and their patients. These Marines often wear covert body armour and wield compact blaster rifles with a stun-setting for ease of carry and subduing dangerous patients such as those receiving treatment within the Psychiatric Ward without harming them. IMC Marines are also used to protect the extremely valuable Synthetic Bacta production facilities located within the Hospital as this proves vital to not only supporting the hospital but the supply of Bacta that Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation provides to the Outer Rim Market, Kikla Medical Research Centre produces approximately 325,000 litres of usable Synthetic Bacta every standard day and thus the Medical Research Centre also leases and makes use of significantly large commercial delivery and distribution centres located throughout Timira City. The main customers who purchase this Synthetic Bacta include a variety of different governments, paramilitary and military organisations.

Solo Nuclear Fission Powerplant, Reactor core housing visible in the distance

Description: Situated near the Corellian City of Doaba Guerfel the Solo Nuclear Powerplant contains a large reactor complex which produces approximately 800 Terrwatt Hours of usable Energy and makes-up an Important part of the local economy with IMC employing approximately forty-thousand workers and specialists from Correlia to staff the facility. The Solo Nuclear Fission Powerplant is a Very-High-Temperature Reactor notable for its' sustainability, safety, reliability and the positive economic impact it has with the potential to remain in constant operation for several decades. The Reactor is a "Breeder" Type which creates more fissile material than it consumes and this considerable amount of produced fissile material is reused by Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation in the construction and maintenance of weapon systems they manufacture which utilise fissile material as ammunition or fuel as seen with the T-8B Self-Loading Precision Carbine and UGM-51 Ewok I. The reactor also produces large amounts of Hydrogen from its' Nuclear Fission reactions which is sold wholesale to local industries particularly the local Corellian farming industry where it is viewed as particularly useful.

The Core is moderated in the Solo Nuclear Fission Reactor by Graphite and cycles through Uranium fuel once. It is made passively safe through the implementation of a droid brain designed specifically to monitor reactor output, temperature and shut-down procedure it operates with total independence from sentient Input and possesses programming safeguards that cannot be overriden by organic users to prevent catastrophic failure due to organic intervention. I
n the event of a particular type of emergency (usually overheating resulting from a loss of coolant or loss of coolant flow). Even in the event of total power loss, the safety features rely on the engineering principles to slow down, rather than accelerate the deterioration of the reactor state analogue fail-safes exist that take advantage of natural forces such as gravity, buoyancy, pressure differences, conduction or natural heat convection to accomplish safe shutdown without requiring an active power source or intelligent input from even its' droid brain. The Solo Nuclear Fission Powerplant is monitored remotely from the tower of Whills and the droid brain can be ordered to shut down its' reactors remotely from IMC headquarters on Geonosis.

Security on the Solo Nuclear Fission Powerplant is provided by the IMC Marine Corps who have a Battalion Barracks located nearby the Reactor Core in the event that the property should be attacked by Terrorists or another other hostile actor whether they be state-controlled or not. Additionally, the facility is crawling with roving T-series droid sentries and access to the property can only be obtained with IMC Employee Identification cards with each card having a security classification which permits employees to only access areas of the Property pertinent to their employment. As another security measure, there is Closed-Circuit High-Definition multi-spectrum cameras scattered throughout the property equipped with facial recognition technology allowing the facility's droid intelligence to assess whether or not certain individuals who are without I.D cards or have come under suspicion should be able to access certain areas of the Powerplant's property. The IMC employs a total of 6,000 Employees with most commuting from Doaba Guerfel or a small city called "Mengsk" approximately five kilometers away from the plant's property.

Description: The Sarrin Hydroelectritiy Station is located on the River Wuitho where it utilizes a massive damn and turbines to generate more than 250 Terrawatt Hours of Power every single standard 24 hours, supplying a staggering amount of Aldera's Energy Requirements with sufficient production to permit the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation to produce power cells in addition to supplying Alderaan's capital. There are a total of twelve sub-stations equipped with full-size Hydropumps to generate electricity and three small Hydrogen-Tritium nuclear fusion reactors to provide back-up emergency power to the Sarrin Hydroelectricity Station if for some reason its' hydro cores are disabled or damaged to the point where they are non-functional. Most of the individuals employed by the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation at the Sarrin Hydroelectricity Station are recruited from the local Alderanni population in accordance with IMC recruitment policy which usually favours the local economy only bringing in foreign workers only as necessary. The Sarrin Hydroelectricity Station is additionally important in the operation of IMC's other Nuclear Powerplants as it possesses the required facilities to produce Deuterium (Heavy Water) And collects samples from the mouth of the River Wuitho leading out to the equatorial ocean. Heavy Water Production reaches approximately 1,600 Metric Tons per standard week more than sufficient to provide enough Deuterium for the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation's own production needs in regards to weapon and energy production with sufficient excess to sell to other operators of Nuclear Fusion and Fission reactors. Water captured at the River Wuitho drops more than eight-hundred meters into subterranean Hydroelectric turbines to generate its' power.

Located just off the coast from Sarrin Hydroelectricity Station is the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation's Headquarters Office for the Core Worlds, it's tethered to the ocean floor through a number of colossal concrete foundations and is home to approximately 2,000 employees with sufficient internal volume to competently handle Deep Core, Core and Colony sales and support. Due to the distance from the Tower of Whills, the nearby "Cerulean Gate" as the structure is called finds itself frequented by members of the board for meetings and members of the Sarnova Family themselves as the structure contains lavish accomodations and amenities for senior employees, board members and the Corporation's Owners.

Seluss Mining & Mineral Processing Facility

Description: Seluss Mining & Mineral Processing Facility is a gargantuan factory and mine located on the Volcanic Outer Rim World of Sullust. The Mine and Processing Facility themselves straddle a freshwater river running through the Inyusu Tor's base on either side and connect through a trio of wide subterranean bridges that span across this river for cover from the Lava which seeps up from Sullust's turbulent mantle. The bridges commonly transport mag-lev trains laden with precious ores and metals which go straight into the Mineral Processing Facility's forges and refineries to be turned into usable metal and alloys for use in constructing IMC's many products. Most of the employees that work within the Seluss Mining & Mineral Processing Facility are recruited from the local population of Sullustans for their metallurgic skills and it was for this reason that the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation decided to locate the facility on Sullust despite its' unpleasant hostile environment. Seluss is located attractively above the Pinyumb which lies to the South though beneath Sullust's crust. Seluss' Mineral Processing facility contains massive refineries and processing facilities with its' roof being covered with landing pads for the shipment of refined materials out to market or other IMC facilities for use in manufacturing their products.

The main metal ores and materials extracted from the Seluss mine include: Alantium, Cobalt, Iron, Lommite, Malachite, Mirkanite, Oridium, Titanium, to name just a few, Seluss Processing Facility and the adjacent mine covers several dozen square kilometers of area with Seluss' heavy machinery and refining equipment taking up significant amounts of area. In total, the Seluss Mineral Processing Facility produces 90 Billion Tons of Metals per standard calendar year for export and sale on the commercial Market with approximately sixty per cent of this being retained by the IMC for use in their own production but this is more than sufficient to produce a profit by releasing the rest into the interstellar markets. The Seluss Mining and Mineral Processing Facility is home to a sizeable Garrison of IMC Marines who live within the Mineral Processing proper, quartered in a Brigade-Sized barracks protecting the Mineral Facility and Adjacent mines themselves with tenacious ferocity, ground access to the site is nigh impossible due to the omnipresent threat of melting to Lava. The facility itself avoids damage itself with the tactful use of Deflector Shielding and thermal-resistant Duravlex coating. Access to the Mineral Processing Facility and mine is achieved almost exclusively through Repulsor Vehicles and Aircraft, as a defensive measure, the Mineral Processing Facility houses a Repulsor Jammer which can temporarily disable Repulsor propulsion as a method of deterring assaults. Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation cares deeply about their mining employees, within the mine itself there are several survival rooms filled with supplies and constructed from Reinforced Durasteel to increase the chance of mining staff survival should a cave-in occur.


Because of its' remote location, the Seluss Mining & Mineral Processing Facility is equipped with their own powerplant that churns out Terrawatts amounts of watts more than sufficient to supply its' carnivorous foundries. The Power within this facilities is provided by none other from Geothermal reactors and on Sullust's volcanic lava covered surface this proves to be incredibly reliable. The Seluss Mining & Mineral Processing Facility stores excess generated power into commercial power cells that it sells on the open market particularly to remote communities. For back-up power in the event of an attack both the Mine and Mineral processing facility feature a secure Nuclear Fusion Reactor as a redundancy. The Mineral Processing Facility is also equipped with a Deflector shield generator that can cover both the Mine's entrance and itself along with the former being equipped with Heavy anti-ship Turbolaser batteries to deter assault from Capital Warships.

Description: Within Golbah City's palatial Royal Sector is Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation's headquarters, the building which houses this prestigious conglomerate was engineered for the very purpose of supporting and fielding the day-to-day Operations of a Galactic Company that served all Regions within. The Tower of Whills is a beautiful synthesis of Sephi and Geonosian Architecture and was originally constructed around 852 ABY with a multi-racial team of Engineers and Architects including Anarielle Giala Mero drafting the eight-hundred and thirty-meter skyscraper. Its' precipice houses the Private Sarnova Family Residence which in practice is infrequently used and often only finds an occupant when a member of the Sarnova family finds themselves staying within Golbah City proper. Given the Tower of Whills height and sheer volume of employees who work their craft within it shouldn't come as a surprise to any visitor or worker that the Tower is equipped lavishly with amenities and even local cafes lease spaces on the ground floor to serve breakfast to Employees coming and going into the secure portions of the Building.

Whills tower houses the keenest senior experts on each industry that Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation provides goods and services, there is also significant spaces within the tower reserved for end-user, fleet and government sales inquiries. Whills tower is also home to the highest company Sentient Resource office and are responsible for processing a staggering number of employment and scholarship applications, there are approximately thirty floors towards the precipice that are reserved for IMC Paramilitary Services Operational Command and Control with armed IMC Marines patrolling the halls of these floors protecting the Chairman, Presidents and members of the board who reside above beneath the Sarnova Residence. Constructed deep beneath the surface of the Whills Tower is an artificial intelligence core and a comprehensive and shadowy testing facility where Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation can run their newest or developing products through simulated or physical proving grounds. Access to the building is carefully controlled by IMC Marine Corps personnel who provide security services, anything other than the ground floor is restricted access with each Employee carrying an identification card with a magnetic strip which they can use to access parts of the building necessary for their employment. No employee who works within the Tower of Whills can use their access card to enter areas that aren't pertinent to their department's portfolio.

There are several secure safe rooms that can only be opened or closed from the inside located throughout the Whills Tower for employees in the event that it comes under direct armed attack as seen in terrorist incidents. The Majority of Safe Rooms are located in the subterranean portions of the property above the proving grounds and server rooms naturally as it is very easy for the Tower's artificial droid intelligence to seal and secure the access turbolifts and redundant bulkheads to partition the subterranean facilities from the Tower itself.

DESCRIPTION
The Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation or "IMC" as it is commonly known and traded on stock markets is a conglomeration based on Geonosis within Golbah City. Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation is known for its' support of the Colonies and Outer Rim Governments and large organisations within the workforce. The Corporation has humble beginnings in a partnership between Hammond Richter and Ingrid Sarnova to provide resource extraction services to Colonial Economies and develop autonomous platforms to aid remote communities with construction and security operations. In the wake of the Gulag Plague the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation rapidly expanded with its' controlling interest being held by members of the Sarnova family, its' expansion could be accurately attributed to their monopolisation on planetary survey technology and securing of interstellar map database rights from old archaic government databases. Over the course of a few short decades, following a series of acquisitions and mergers with other fledging company Hammond-Ingrid Robotics turned into the sprawling Empire that is now the "Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation" a Publicly-traded company with a controlling interest firmly held by wealthy members of a historically working-class Imperial Family.

Involved in a large variety of Industries the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation strives to provide a premium product at a premium price and their employees include some of the best and brightest experts in their respective industries and fields. Outside of the Core Worlds, the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation is considered one of the most reliable and impressive companies by sheer volume of the products and services it provides across a large Interstellar area, strictly speaking, the Corporation will provide goods and services across all regions of the Galaxy from Wild Space to the Deep Core. The Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation maintains factories and corporate offices all throughout civilised space. They avoid Hutt space however due to its' lawlessness and the Hutt clans' unsavoury reputation, as a matter of company policy the IMC does not enter into contracts to provide goods and services for Governments or Organisations the IMC board believes do not share their values or who have an appalling policy, law or practices. The Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation also provides Security and Crisis Management Services to clients who require personnel or asset protection particularly in the Outer Rim, Unknown Regions and Wild Space. To that effect, the IMC fields a significant amount of Paramilitary Security Personnel who receive comparable training and equipment to professional militaries, much to the chagrin and anxiety of several Colonial Governments.

Employment with the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation is highly sought after for many reasons, the Corporation cares deeply about its' employee health and wellbeing with a workplace health & safety policy that covers medical expenses incurred to Employees by injuries they have sustained while within the workplace. The IMC additionally provides for four to eight weeks of paid annual leave per standard calendar year worked by Full-Time employees, Part-Time employees receive paid annual leave pro rata on the number of hours they work on average a week over a standard calendar year. All Employees of the IMC receive a tax-qualified, defined-contribution pension that is paid into a retirement fund held on trust for the Employee, the amount of pension the IMC contributes is calculated based on the Employee's wages or salary across a standard calendar year. The Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation exploits deductible Tax laws every Calendar year by dispensing significant donations to Humanitarian Organisations dedicated to medical research and providing critical services to remote communities. These egalitarian and charitable acts have earned the Corporation praise from Builders, Farmers and Hunters alike. For these reasons, many frontiersmen join the IMC's "Marine Corps" which forms a significant portion of their Paramilitary Security Forces.


Due to the Products and Services, it provides to the Galactic Market the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation relies extremely heavily on employees having tertiary and vocational education. Thus, the IMC supports selected educational institutions with both solicited and unsolicited donations aimed at improving outcomes for students with access to better facilities and a comfortable learning environment. The IMC offers at selected Universities the "Hammond Scholarship" A full scholarship for distinguished and outstanding students who are interested in studying Science faculty courses with most scholarships being awarded for Engineering and Robotics courses with the condition that the student enters into an employment contract with the IMC for no less than three years. Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation possesses a strong sympathy for returned servicemen and readily offer employment with their Marine Corps to former professional soldiers and law enforcement officers, enticing these individuals to enter into three to eight-year employment contracts. Upon the expiration of their employment contract employees usually, pursue a new contract or separate from the IMC in return for a significant lump sum of credits in addition to the Corporation purchasing farmland within the Colonies and Rim Territories to generate increased populations independent of immigration. Many Colonial Governments provide the IMC with tax deductions calculated based on the number of former employees they settle on their worlds as they receive increased tax revenue and GDP as a result of the former IMC employees agreeing to receive the "IMC Employee and Servicemen's Readjustment and Resettlement Package".

The Relationship between the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation and Colonial Governments varies wildly, many Inner Core elitists view this Corporation as an uppity start-up when compared to those such as the Republic Engineering Corporation or Kuat Drive Yards due to its' relative youth. However, despite the disparity in longevity the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation possesses intellectual property rights to some of the most devastating and awe-inspiring pieces of technology within the current galactic environment including a wide plethora of Pharmaceutical Products aimed at enhancing organic Physiology. The Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation is also known within Military Circles for their impressive powered assault armour platforms which have been manufactured by other Companies and Governments with or without licenses. As of 856 ABY the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation is rapidly broadening their product catalogue in response to emerging markets stimulated by the business confidence inspired with trans-region trade protected by fledgeling space-borne Empires. Despite this confidence, the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation has tactfully maintained a large number of locations across the Galaxy in a variety of jurisdictions to prevent and deter nationalization of their assets which IMC as a matter of Policy will destroy if at risk of falling into the hands of unscrupulous Governments. Thanks to the IMC's Marine Corps they possess the physical muscle to have political influence wherever they operate although as the IMC looks to cultivate a positive professional and market image their Paramilitary Might is seldom flexed or exercised.

RATIONALE

The Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation has existed for approximately two centuries, its' origins lie in a Robotics Company started by two Engineers and Lovers during the four-hundred year darkness brought on by the Gulag Plague with a goal of preserving Engineering knowledge and historical literature regarding the development of technology. This Robotics Company called called "Hammond-Ingrid" Robotics after the pair, after Hammond Richter's death he passed his Shares rather controversially in the Company to his former lover Ingrid rather than his lawful spouse at the time which became a point of deep animosity between the Sarnova and Richter family for several decades.

A handful of members of the Sarnova family became extremely wealthy as a result of the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation's activities, ownership was not shared equally however and the majority of that bloodline remained firmly locked in the Working-Classes of First Imperial Society. During the Siege of Dosuun by the Ssi-Ruuk in the 850s most of the Sarnova family including its' scions were killed or missing presumed dead, the subsequent final testament and wills along with the applicable intestate laws saw a majority of shares pass to a single daughter of the Sarnova family who was spared this genocide wrought against innocent First Imperials. This woman was Daan Sarnova, then a Commander within the First Imperial Navy's Unconventional Warfare Division.

Daan suddenly found herself as the heir to a legacy she didn't feel was deserved, though fortunately thanks to the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation's policy and diverse locations throughout the Galaxy most key personnel and facilities survived. Those employees and board members who escaped a bloody fate at the hands of the Ssi-Ruuk helped Daan understand her roles and responsibilities as possessing her family's majority controlling interest within the Publicly-Traded Corporation. Under her influence, Daan has focused the board on broadening their market far beyond First Imperial Space and moved their headquarters from Bespin to the Confederacy of Independent Systems' Capital of Geonosis, specifically Golbah City.


Under Daan's direct influence the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation has drastically overhauled their security service and restructured that portion of the Conglomerate to resemble a Professionally Trained Military Force, aptly renaming it the "Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation Paramilitary Services." Which permits the Corporation to protect its' own privately-owned property and provide comprehensive crisis, risk and security management services for Governments. Essentially it acts as a deterrent to any Envious Colonial Governments who might desire to nationalise the Corporation's considerable assets or property and participate in Military Operations under contract. Daan has seen to it as the De Facto Owner of the Corporation that the IMC restrict their participation in military conflict be limited to protecting the delivery of essential goods and services. Although, under her direction, it isn't impossible that the IMC might fight in anger against a particularly odious Government or one that had been so bold as to deal with the Corporation in bad faith.

Subsidiaries: Several.
Parent Corporation: Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation is a "Parent Corporation".
