Rationale: A true family business, Brandt-Volcata Industries began as the brainchild of Archer Brandt, who purchased a corporation based on Lanteeb in the early days of the First Order’s occupation there. The company, originally called Gambol Systems, Inc., turned out to be a money pit when the First Order’s Industrial Safety & Health regulations kicked in. The outdated equipment and facilities were not up to code, and the assets of the corporation were not sufficient to upgrade the equipment. Brandt sought the assistance of his aunt, businesswoman Aurelia Volcata, who he had heard was unsatisfied with her current position. They negotiated and came to an equitable arrangement; Aurelia invested some of her considerable personal fortune into the corporation for a controlling interest; Brandt remained on as the creative engine, sitting on the board and serving as a Vice President while Aurelia became the Chief Executive Officer.
Rebranding the company to Brandt-Volcata Industries, Aurelia and Brandt set about bringing the corporation’s equipment and facilities up to code, and expanded operations into mining and industrial equipment to take advantage of emerging markets to exploit the new territories falling under the banner of the First Order.
Tier: 2
Description: Headquartered on Lanteeb, Brandt-Volcata Industries emerged from the ashes of a former mining and production company. Contrary to its predecessor which was primarily owned and operated out of an industrial complex, the company now boasts a more corporate image. Its former headquarters facilities were entirely revamped and restructured, jointly financed by the personal fortune of Aurelia Volcata, who cashed in on some of her investment portfolio to generate funds for the renovations, and Archer Brandt’s trust fund distributions. The campus was rechristened the Elysium Complex, with the headquarters and administrative center becoming the Zeus Building, and the Research & Development Division took up residence in the refurbished -- and up to code -- Athena Building across campus.
While the company’s brainiacs, under the guidance of Vice President Archer Brandt, continued to develop new and exciting ideas, Aurelia Volcata was on the warpath to expand the industry that buttered their bread at the moment: mining. Brandt-Volcata purchased and absorbed a small but lucrative mining operation on Riflor. The mining of Riflor’s heavy metals proved to be a good line of business, and the proceeds were reinvested in the company, allowing for the hiring of scientists and researches, as well as more mining equipment.
The company has plans to expand their operations, having made inquiries about the purchase of a ground based starship maintenance facility in which they hope to begin their very own line of space vessels. While starships are much more Aurelia’s metier, Archer has expansive plans of his own, beginning development of weapons and technology manufacturing facilities at the Valhalla Complex on Riflor. Though the company is in its infancy, it is already planning the launch of its line of security droids and non-lethal security weapons.
While the corporation is open to the market, it is seeking to cozy up to the First Order in order to gain the tax benefits that come with being a contributor to the First Order’s economy. As such, they are unlikely to contract with direct competitors to the First Order.
