Bombshell Genius
Corporation Name: Ringovinda Systems
Headquarters: Ringo Vinda
Locations: Soceras, Hosnian Prime, Glyss, Tatooine, Dulvoyinn, Geonosis, Dagobah
Operations: Manufacture of starship components, droids and weapons
Rationale: Ringovinda Systems was created in response to internal needs by Ringovinda StarYards, including landing gears, weapons and other systems used aboard starships.
Tier: 4
Description: Borne out of the growing needs of Ringovinda StarYards for special, tailor-made components, Ringovinda Systems began developing landing gears, as well as hardpoint-mounted weapons for capital ships, such as ion cannons and hypervelocity cannons, and lately ordnance, rotating flails, as well as shipboard food cloning units, for use on Ringovinda StarYards ships. It is free to sell components to anyone regardless of faction affiliation. With the former Ringovinda StarYards CEO falling into disgrace, Ringovinda StarYards bought out her share in Ringovinda Systems.
Due to its owner being contacted by the Republic to bid on replacement contracts for the procurement of technology, it has set up shop on Hosnian Prime, so as to cut on delivery costs to customers in the Core Worlds, and also because she feels that most other corporations contacted by the Republic for technological procurement had some gaps in their offerings that Ringovinda Systems could address. Also, to provide the lowest costs in their southern operations, it has also set up shop on Soceras, especially in the wake of Ringovinda StarYards also operating on Soceras.
Due to the Silver Jedi putting the onus on Jedi to provide for their own funding, after the announcement of Jessica Med-Beq being called in to replace her old boss Charzon Loulan, control of Ringovinda Systems was placed in her hands, and under her watch, Ringovinda Systems expanded to become a major private employer on Glyss, as well as setting up shop on Tatooine, despite both planets being a good distance away from Silver Jedi space.
However, in the tumultuous period following the excommunication of both Charzon (who died shortly thereafter) and Jessica from the Silver Jedi Order, it nevertheless managed to expand its offerings to long-range starship weaponry as well as to droids and ground weapons.
