Rationale: While Lucerne Labs retains much of its start-up culture as founded by Matthew Lucerne, the company has morphed from the grungy web of sometimes shadowy contacts into a more legitimate company with a traditional business model under Gir Quee's leadership. Using his connections with various galactic powers, Gir has steered Lucerne Labs into supplying a broad variety of starships and other defense products to individuals and organizations that Gir feels follows their founder's ethos. Recently, the traditional company ethos has taken root with several employees branching out with to start their own branches of the company based on their passions, including the cybernetics division of Lucerne Labs along with the establishment of Lucerne Personal Defense.
Tier: 5
Description: While Lucerne Labs retains much of its start-up culture as founded by Matthew Lucerne, the company has morphed from the grungy web of sometimes shadowy contacts into a more legitimate company with a traditional business model. Its biggest change has been not only licensing designs out for production to other companies, but producing their products in their own facilities on Kwookrrr, Gyndine, Hast, Tanaan IV, and their fleet of Hephaestus-class Factory Ships. This array of manufacturing facilities allows Lucerne Labs to supply a variety of products close to many of their customers.
Gir Quee takes care to establish personal relationships with many of the Lab's customers, for both economic and moral reasons. It would not due for the Labs to supply starbombers to a terrorist group, for example.Lucerne Labs continues to be a significant member of the Directorate, lending its resources to the group and receiving support from the faction in turn. The Directorate has pulled the company to become more politically involved with its clients, seeing the company deploy both its industrial and security assets to advance the causes of several galactic powers, including both the Silver Jedi and the Galactic Alliance. Lucerne Labs enjoys a particularly close relationship with the ISAF and Silver Jedi, who have become the company's primary customer. Along with this allegiance, the company has formed working relationships with other Silver Jedi affiliated companies, such as Locke and Key and the Silver Jedi Engineering Corporation.
While Gir Quee remains the company's public face, he is but one member of a tight knit circle from the Lab's early days that keeps it running. Gir's adopted brother, Salmakk, a notable mon calamari starship engineer does most of the daily management tasks. He has been able to return to do more engineering work since Gir's retirement from Republic service. Azira, a bothan slicer from Kothlis, and Gai, a Duros mechanical engineer, are other notable members of this same circle. Lucerne Labs is not only their employment, but also their tribe. This circle continues to guide Lucerne Labs as they look to change the galaxy for the better.
