Holowan Laboratories

Holowan-Mechanicals.png

Corporation Name: Holowan Laboratories

Headquarters: Halowan

Locations: Halowan, Alabash, Doneer'so

Operations:
  • Weapons manufacturing
  • Droid developing & manufacturing
  • Starship developing & manufacturing


Rationale:
After procuring a small fortune of credits thanks to his days as an Acolyte, the Sith Knight Ballen-Ist set out to secure a foundation of power for his own. Having heard rumors provided by his old business partner Kelan the Hutt, the Sith ventured from Hok to Halowan in an effort to seek out the trans-system data storage library. With the vast wealth of information it possessed, Ballen-Ist quickly learned about the planet and its past, and other locations in the surrounding Fakir sector. He took a particular interest in the Clone Wars era history of Halowan, due to the infamous IG-series droids which were infamous for their assassination capabilities. Throughout the centuries, Holowan Laboratories had gone under many times, first due to rogue droids and then later the Gulag Plague.

Acting swiftly, the Sith took his case to the higher ups of the planet and was able to purchase rights to the company and all related products. Then was the hiring process, wherein Ballen-Ist placed loyal subordinates at the top and locals as labor. Though he had exhausted a majority of his credits, Ballen-Ist would finally have a reliable source of income, and protection to top it off. With his ties to the Hutts, Ballen-Ist arranged shipping deals through third-parties that would bring the materials necessary for construction and production to Alabash in exchange for discounted services and special products on behalf of the company. Knowing that he would need to expand further to keep the business stable, the Sith set out to seek those capable of furthering his progress.

Tier: 3

Description:
Based within the Fakir system, Holowan Laboratories is an independent weapons and droids manufacturing company, which was well known for its production of the IG-series and the Electrostaff during the Clone Wars. Though currently unaligned with any of the war efforts, Holowan Laboratories specialized in products capable of combating force users, establishing a general target audience that would want to purchase the services of the company. Though it isn't exactly a front, Holowan Laboratories had labeled their products as security droids, in order to bypass certain laws at the time and disassociate themselves with the infamous Confederacy of Independent Systems. Continuing that standard to this very day, Holowan Laboratories aims to provide to those of status in need of protection, and is even willing to work out private manufacturing deals if the price is right.

While there is no nefarious ulterior motive to the company, most are well aware of how their products are put to use, and will not do a thing about it. Having always been a shady organization, Holowan Laboratories continues that legacy on to this day, simply more underground this time around. The main headquarters are based on Halowan within the corporate sector of the planet, while the production of products transpires on the remote volcanic planet of Alabash, where there is little to hinder the process excluding the deadly environment. The droid and weapons production facility is of moderate size, requiring only a small amount of shielding from the harsh surrounding of the planet.

Once revived, Holowan Laboratories went straight to work, developing new products while also attempting to recover those of old. The IG-SP was their first majorly produced item, distributed all throughout the Fakir sector to announce the company's emergence. Centuries ago, Holowan Laboratories was focused solely on the manufacturing of droids and weaponry, however this too has changed with their expansion to the planet Doneer'so. With the support and protection Holowan had provided the surrounding planets with, it wasn't long before the city Tokks'vik agreed to their terms, starting up their shipyard once more in return for further protection, and local employment to boost their economy. While specialty items such as the HH-01 and IG-800 are still made and available for order, Holowan Laboratories has diverted a large amount of their attention to maintaining the shipyard of Tokks'vik, where their fleet undergoes repairs, along with the development of new vessels to be used by themselves and the general public.
