DESCRIPTION
Created for the purpose of profit, Blackwell Industries is a regional power of a company situated on Bastion, with notable locations around the galaxy. The company is well known for its heavy industries, research department, and newly found power under Sith control. Overall, the company show’s extreme promise, and is founded on years of past mistakes and the successes of others.
Notably, the company does mostly private manufacturing requests, however its very nature involves a number of government contracts with not only local entities but ones as large as The Sith Empire; performing everything from warfare asset creation to something more mundane as resource acquisition. Limitations on what the company is capable of is generally restricted to what can’t be afforded rather than what can’t be done, as it is well known for pushing the envelope on existing and non existing technologies.
Politically the company holds no public stances, though to say it isn’t more inclined to assist the Sith and their intentions would be folly. Founded on Bastion, and owned by a Sith, the company is highly regarded as a ‘Dark Side’ orientated business, though with no public stance in any direction. Generally, the company holds no issues with pressuring smaller organizations or businesses into falling in line; and could be referenced as the farthest thing from benevolent. It is this very reputation that has led to its current stance, though it certainly changes face when need be.
Its ‘Public Relations’ department is well funded for a reason.
RATIONALE
Blackwell Industries is a company with moderate history, finding itself the original property of a well known businessman in the Outer Rim; well on its way to become the first trillion credit corporation with a foundation on Bastion. However, when the Sith first declared Bastion its newfound capital during the reign of the Sith Ascendancy, the businessman disappeared under oddly suspicious circumstances. Although many credits and months were spent attempting to find the aging CEO, no concrete explanation was ever met.
Following this, the Board of Directors took the reigns and began to work the company into its next fiscal years; though this was met with poor results. Between corruption, miscommunications, and downright poor management, the company began to lose much of what it had built under the golden age of its founder. A near constant outpour of money was the norm, and only after a few years of constant drops on the intergalactic stock exchange did the company finally get pulled for poor performance.
It was only then, that under billions of credits of loans and the strapping weight of every subsidiary of its company, was an opportunity found. The company was contacted by a Sith known as ‘Darth Maliphant’, or signed as Dorian Harper, who offered to buy the company and all its shares for an exceptional price; unknown to them it being stolen from half a galaxy away though less than legal means. Of course, the Board accepted, though the ramifications were unknown to them just yet.
As soon as Maliphant took control of the company, an almost immediate liquidation of both assets and personnel occurred. Every aspect of the company was either melded into the primary entity, such as mining, starship design, and fringe technology, or simply destroyed and sold off to the highest bidder to pay off the excruciatingly high debt. This was an almost immediate relief for the strained heart of the organization, as every aspect of the company was quickly turned into something semi-profitable, though with it came the prying eyes of the board of directors. It was only then they realized what came of their new boss;
Each and every member of the company was either fired, quit, or simply disappear in the coming months. Financial reports showed that as soon as the company had begun to take in additional income, they had begun an attempt to skim from it, essentially hoping to milk the company to death with no chance of recovery. This didn’t sit well with Maliphant, and his combined efforts helped cut the biggest cancer out of the company; Its leadership.
Now, with full control of the rebranded ‘Blackwell Industries’, Maliphant seeks to completely overhaul the entire company with profits in mind. Stocks have been accounted for, the budgets have been balanced, and the debt has been paid off for the time being, now the only concern is where he might push the company now.
