Description: In the days of yore, when the galaxy was younger, and the dream of peace burned bright, some lost soul had founded the Republic Engineering Corporation shortly after the first death of Emperor Palpatine. From there, the legend had grown. Lando Calrissian himself was a patron, taking the best and brightest minds that the contracted company had to offer, and created the Shieldships from their blessed union. When the newly birthed government, the New Republic, had called for a modernization program to overhaul their ageing fleet, it was said that the REC had spearheaded the New-Class effort, producing many vessels to serve within the Republic Navy for generations. In the period following the defeat of the Imperial Grand Admiral Thrawn, much of the recorded information was lost- due in part to the widespread/pan-galactic infection known to many as the Gulag Plague.
While the sentient workers had succumbed to the weakness of their flesh and blood, the Automatons installed within both the Orbital and Surface-based facilities watched on as the people of Coruscant struggled to survive. Nearly four hundred cycles had passed, and the Corporate Machines were watchers no longer. Sentient life had surged back into the fore, and those that survived the epidemic sought to reclaim their mastery over the stars. Thus, with the new faces entering long-sealed halls, the mechanized workforce of the REC had taught these brave adventurers of their past and allowed them to carry on the torch of production, once they had proven themselves worthy of the legends.
However, as in all things, the seed of violence took hold and the stars themselves burned bright, engulfed once more in the flames of war. The Republic had fallen, and the One Sith claimed Coruscant for themselves. With their meteoric rise to dominance over the Core Worlds, many had suffered under their rule. Citizens were drafted, Machines re-purposed, and the Corporation itself had barely survived the Imperial Regime's Nationalization. Having fled the Core with much of the Company's assets in tow, those who were still loyal to the dream of great profits, taught to them by the venerable clankers, took refuge in the Outer Colonies. There, they had waited. For twelve long years, they watched the One Sith cast aside all opposition and rule without a worthy foe. That was until the Galactic Alliance had speared into the festering heart of the Core and shattered their tyrannical hold over the center of the Galaxy.
Once the news of victory had spread throughout the Outer Rim, the Republic Engineering Corporation returned to their birth world and sought to reclaim what was rightfully theirs.
In the years that followed their glorious homecoming, supplemented by the martial might of the Galactic Alliance, the Company’s fortunes had waxed and waned. There were several ventures that the organization had embarked on that yielded little returns - such as the rebuilding of several installations across the territory held by the Alliance and the fabled second-attempt at the New Class Modernization Program. Having poured themselves into these errant projects, the newly appointed Board of Directors had forcibly shifted the company’s growth towards more prosperous venues. The most notable is the secret support of the newly formed, and galactically renowned mercenaries of the Golden Company. This compact with the Thyrsian organization had proved to be the life-saving enterprise that was needed, as with the credits earned from the deal, the Company was able to restart the New Class Program; without requiring sponsorship from the Galactic Alliance.
As well as rebounding from the abyss of bankruptcy, the Republic Engineering Corporation had begun to reassess its restrictive customer policies. Even though there are many within the Corporation who still harbour ill will towards the Sith, the decision was made to open their doors to any and all that had sufficient credits to purchase their products. Although, in keeping with their company ideals of corporate purity, the Republic Engineering Corporation doesn’t directly deal with Criminal Syndicates or other unsavoury Individuals. While the Company doesn’t condone the use of Shell Corporations and Front Companies, so long as the credits are good, it is a detail that the Board of Directors are willing to overlook
Additional Information of Note:
- The Company accepts Private Manufacturing requests, so long as the Customer is not knowingly affiliated with Illegal Operations or Criminal Syndicates. (Front Corporations are permitted, so long as their Criminal Ties are kept under wraps.)
