Corporation Name: Improvised Designs
Headquarters: Mandalore
Locations: N/A
Operations: Design and Manufacturing of weapons, militarized ground combat vehicles, and equipment to support them.
Rationale: In 825 ABY, Myra Hadrix left the soldier life behind for good and turned to mechanics and engineering. She began a vessel salvaging and resale business, which she operates to this day on Mandalore, along the outskirts of the planet's capitol city, Keldabe. Her and her husband Jack live in the plains beside the shop, which consists of a large hangar and a 1,200 square meter tarmac (600 x 200 meters) landing pad, for when business is crowded, or Myra is commissioned with a particularly large vessel to work on. One year ago, Myra was awarded a business-growth loan based on a model she presented to the Bank of Keldabe that would expand her already lofty ship repair business by affording the construction of an industrial grade machine and metallurgy facility. Her number of employees jumped from 9 to 24 in a matter of months during the facility's construction, which took up a round 600 square meters of the original 1,200 square meters.
With the facility's completion, Myra is prepared to begin work building the vehicles and equipment she spent the last several years designing and perfecting, and is hoping to sell them to the Galactic Republic or Mandalorian governments.

Our Story
Improvised Designs is a design and manufacturing company started by Myra and Jack Hadrix on Myra's home world of Mandalore. Originally a small ship repair yard, Myra expanded her business over time until she began providing custom designs and work on existing models of star craft and equipment. Originally working for private entities only, Myra has recently taken to vying for military contracts with some of the Galaxy's minor governments.
Rather than complete her own, original designs, Myra focuses her work on improving existing models, usually founded as outdated or decidedly "obsolete" equipment. Two examples of her work are the C1M2A MAT-TE Walker and the A-10 LA-AT gunship series. Both based on old Republic vehicles, these two designs have proven that old tech can be better tech.
Business Strategy
Improvised Designs focuses on seeking out wholes within government military forces that need to be filled, and producing designs that fulfill those needs. The company does take private manufacturing and design requests, depending on the size of the order and the type of design.
Environmental Policy
Improvised Designs is a Green Corporation, meaning our production facilities function on renewable energy sources and we endeavor to contribute to progress the healthy communities in which we exist. Improvised Designs aims to adhere strictly to and, whenever possible, exceed the latest Environmental Policy Standards set by the Environmental Protection Committee of the Mandalorian Government.
Political Philosophy
Improvised Designs does not align itself strictly with any particular government or political ideology. However, the company does not take contracts from any entity that identifies itself as a part of the One Sith government or general Sith ideology.
