Corporation Name: Incom Corporation
Headquarters: Eriadu
Manufacturing Centers – Sluis Van, Elrood, Belsavis, Fondor, Mon-Calamari (Contracted) | Research and Development Center – Anoth System Space Station
Locations: After the events that effected the entire galaxy, Incom Corporation shifted the entire company structure throughout the Galaxy. Alyesa Organa decided to move the R&D facility to the further reaches of space while pushing the Headquarters deeper into the heart of the Techno Union territory. They maintained their facilities throughout the Galaxy to Include Fresia, Sluis Van, Fondor, Raxus Prime, Mon-Calamari which was a contract area.
On passing the company to her most trusted adviser and most senior test pilot, Kelly Perris, Alyesa had already begun the process of extracting Incom from Techno Union territory, starting construction on the new headquarters at Eriadu, to move them from Roon. In addition, facilities at Fresia were dismantled and moved from the sphere of influence of the One Sith to Elrood, while the facilities at Hishyim were moved to Belsavis. Lastly, the R&D center was moved to a discreet station in the Anoth System. All was in progress when the corporation was thrust into the hands of the retired Alderaani fighter pilot.
Operations: Incom started its existence as Torranix Inertial Compensator Corporation, but the awkward name soon slimmed down to Incom Corporation. They are leaders in repulsorlift technology and starship design, and have long ridden the success of their X-Wing line of starfighters and other developments. Currently, they make all manner of vehicles, ranging from ground-based pleasure, racing, and utility vehicles, to space vessels - starfighters, freighters, yachts, and larger craft. Even massive repulsorlifts, the most famous of which being Cloud City, are part of Incom’s repertoire.
Rationale: Alyesa Praxon’s path to getting Incom Corporation under her belt was a rather interesting one. A tale of disaster that turned into a story of success. She was aiding the Republic on Drunkenwell in the aftermath of the Confederacy and Omega Protectorate battle. Her job was to assess the damage to contracts by each company effected by the battle, at that time it was brought to her attention how badly Incom Corporation had suffered. Their losses were not only monetary but they had lost a substantial amount of high-end personnel and Alyesa knew with a company like Incom Corporation and it’s various achievements throughout the years, it was too big to fail. Alyesa knew of ways to bail them out, but it had to be secured quickly. Through quick thinking and financial negotiations, Alyesa was able to secure bonds and other loans to aid Incom Corporation and in turn buy them out with an initial 65% purchase of stock. After a few weeks, when the aftermath of Drukenwell had subsided and the initial contracts of the Republic and other governments had been fulfilled, Alyesa was able to purchase an additional 15% of the stock. In the end, after the wake of Drunkenwell and the financial crisis, Alyesa invested 20% of the stock back into Incom Corporation, allowing herself 60% control and 20% financial investment into the company with 20% remaining for stockholders and any private investors. This investment and control allows her to interact with higher-up engineers, assist with day to day operations and make changes as she sees fit with or without assistance from a stockholder appointed Board of Directors.
With the change of hands, Alyesa left Kelly with an inheritance of what was now her fifty-one percent share in stocks and investment in the company, with no changes to the measures of control and interaction with higher-up engineers, day-to-day assistance with operations, or the standing of the CEO's relationship with the Board of Directors.

Description: Incom Corporation started out as Torranix Inertial Compensator Corporation, which was a company that specialized in design, construction and implementation of repulsorlift technology. This company was increasing the standard of repulsorlift technology through increasingly complex design and quality. One of the more noteable designs and creations was that of Cloud City, in the mining world of Bespin. A short while after, they partnered with Sub-Pro Corporation to create an atmospheric fighter and spacecraft which would become known as the Z-95 Headhunter. This craft became the base of mainstream galactic aerospace engineering, and a product line that lasts for generations. After the success of the Z-95, contractual obligations and partnerships between Incom and Sub-Pro went south, thus leading to the two companies to go separate directions.
During the Clone Wars, Incom Corporation was commissioned for a joint project known as the Aggressive Reconnaisance-170 or the ARC-170 Fighter. This fighter was a heavy fighter/bomber variant which was utilized heavily during the end of the Clone Wars and eventually transitioned into the modern T-65A X-Wing design of the Galactic Civil War. Shortly after the X-Wing fighter plans were finalized, the Galactic Empire nationalized Incom. In response, a vast majority of the engineers and scientists defected, taking the X-Wing plans and four prototypes with them. In retaliation, the Empire arrested what former Incom employees they could find and sentenced them to the spice mines of Kessel, but they were rescued by Captain Antilles of the Alliance.
Some employees that didn’t defect, but didn’t remain with the Imperial-controlled Incom, broke away and created FreiTek, Inc. After the fall of the Empire, Incom regrouped, with FreiTek becoming a subsidiary corporation dedicated to avionics and armatures, existing under the Incom Corporation umbrella. Established in the last several years are two other subsidiary corporations: Incom Select and Incom Environmental. Incom Select was the brainchild of Araceli Loxley, who saw an untapped market that Incom could exploit - the high-end custom vessel market. Alyesa saw that both Incom Select and Environmental were subsidiaries that were nessecary to carry on from the previous Chief Executive Officer and were simplistic enough to not affect the bottom line. Incom was able to produce luxury craft, freighters, even gunships and starfighters (within legal limits, of course) for individuals, companies, and governments that wanted and could afford something more specialized than Incom’s mass-produced lines.
After the corruption of the Galactic Republic took hold. Alyesa decided she would follow suit of her predecessor and go into a neutral state with the Galactic Republic. She joined the Techno Union and declared official neutrality with the Corporation and began supplying Rebel states who were against corruption and tyranny at their finest. She no longer would provide support to the Republic - so long as she lived and breathed. She even put it into the company charter at some point that the Galactic Republic, as it stood was no better than the Empire of old.
There came a time, however, when the mistakes of Miss Organa became too great, her doubts of herself too deep, and she sought to resign and appoint a successor. With the blessing of the Board of Directors and the small measure of sway that remained available to the woman, Kelly Perris was appointed as her successor... all of which was done without his knowledge. The details came to him with the delivery of a largely impersonal datapad whilst the old pilot was minding his business in an undisclosed location. While he had his misgivings, the desire to do right by the woman he had somewhat affectionately called Lessa and see to it that her wishes were fulfilled, he took up the mantle of chief executive officer of Incom Corporation and faced the moderately steep learning curve without looking back.
That being said, Perris didn't always agree with the convictions and actions of Organa. He was no 'yes' man, but the company would truly be going back to its roots as symbol of the good fight, of victory, freedom, and boldly etched fear upon the hearts of the enemies of the Light. Negative references to the Galactic Republic were removed, but Incom did not jump back into bed with them, for there was a much more promising contender: the Galactic Alliance. It remains to be seen what the future will hold...

- Passing the Torch - Incom CEO Alyesa Organa notifies Kelly Perris of her resignation, his appointment as CEO of Incom, and the movements of company assets to new locations, the construction of a new headquarters, and her intentions to seek the end of her life... all in the package of a rather impersonal, company-marked datapad. Kelly reacts, with onlooker Sasha Santhe as company.
