Corporation Name: Silk Holdings
Headquarters: Drogheda
Locations: Dressel (Moreau Station), Void Station, the Rishi Maze, Saleucami, Chalacta, Boz Pity, Verkuyl, Lianna, Annaj
Operations: Starship repair and maintenance, refueling depots, starship design, shipyard specializing in freighters and vehicles, investment, starbase operation centered on docking fees and service provision, kolto, bacta, kolcta, hyperlane creation
Rationale: Silk Holdings owns every gas station, waypoint, and service provider along the Mara Corridor, a super-hyperlane created by its founders, Jorus and Alna Merrill. Numerous political and financial deals with all sides have kept the Corridor safe from nearly all interference, while maximizing target markets for Silk products. Silk does business with the Sith Empire, the Republic, Black Sun, the Lords of the Fringe, the Mandalorians, and the Omega Protectorate. Its sole owner has a million-credit bounty in CIS space (and he would do it again), so CIS is the only significant major faction with which Silk does not do business.
Tier: 5
Description: Silk has two major structural divisions, overseen by a professional Ukioan and Droghedan staff. These divisions are of roughly equal size. One handles service provision, and the other handles production.
Silk is, at heart, a service provider. It operates nineteen starbases along the Mara Corridor. Major interests include food, fuel, lodgings, docking fees, repair services, medical services, and starship modification. These operations extend into Fringe and Empire space, among others, as well as throughout the Rishi Maze. Silk is also the galaxy’s only major, systematized creator of hyperlanes, a service which it provides to major governments, and for which it can name its price.
Even Silk’s production side is bound up in service provision. Specifically, Silk is frequently contracted to design starships, but does not always manufacture them. Nevertheless, Silk’s proprietary products are a common sight throughout the Outer and Inner Rim. Silk focuses on bulk transports, tramp freighters, cheap defense small craft, and surface vehicles. It has designed capital ships, but prefers not to manufacture them in most cases unless contracted specifically to do so. Silk’s assets often pull double duty; for example, several ancient, refitted Cardan III and IV stations rank among the larger Silk waypoint starbases on the Mara Corridor, but also serve as shipyards. Various modular Shokita- and Chaavla-class stations also serve as repair/modification yards while filling a primary function as starbase waypoints. Silk even owns a ground port on Drogheda, a port which fills all of the above functions. Azure Station, an XQ2 platform over Saleucami, is similarly used. Silk also owns major interests in Void Station, due to the station’s rescue from mercenary forces, Circe Savan, and Darth Moridin by Jorus and Alna Merrill, and subsequent Silk-backed repairs. Furthermore, Silk owns major interests in Moreau Station, and has supplanted its quiet owners.
Silk’s products, however, are not confined to vehicle design, manufacture, and modification. Silk was the first corporation to break the Omega StarCorp monopoly on bacta, through rediscovery of the planet Verkuyl. Contracting with a Sith alchemist with plant expertise (Sirella Valkner) allowed Silk to merge its bacta holdings with its revitalized kolto interests, and recreate kolcta. Massive amounts of kolcta have since been sold across the galaxy, including substantive deals to major factions. So far, kolto and kolcta production remain a virtual Silk monopoly.
