Santhe Corporation is a dominant industrial conglomerate headquartered on Lianna, renowned for its starship manufacturing, advanced weapons systems, and discreet, high-end custom engineering. The company maintains an ironclad grip over its supply chains and technological assets, operating through layers of corporate secrecy and strict contract enforcement. While Santhe does accept private manufacturing requests, these are highly selective and usually reserved for powerful clients such as planetary governments, noble houses, or influential private entities which are often negotiated through confidential intermediaries.
Though claiming neutrality in galactic affairs, Santhe Corporation is known to align with prevailing regimes when doing so ensures favorable market conditions or long-term strategic influence. Santhe is not overtly malicious, but it is relentlessly pragmatic; if the exploitation of a world's resources or a shift in local power furthers its agenda, the company does not hesitate to act. It does so quietly and efficiently with its ethos centering on control, innovation, and dominance of key industrial sectors, with ethics taking a distant second to profitability and legacy.
A significant event in recent corporate history involves
Vyllia Sancetti
, formerly known as Vyllia Santhe, who is a highly influential figure within the Santhe dynasty. After marrying
Maldor Sancetti
(which led to the creation of the new nobility of House Sancetti) she retained her ties to the Santhe family while expanding her influence into aristocratic and political spheres in Diarchy and Imperial space.In a bold and strategic move, Vyllia secured control of Santhe/Sienar Technologies, a vital subsidiary of Santhe Corporation, and successfully separated it from the parent company. Now operating independently under her leadership, Santhe/Sienar Technologies has established itself as a formidable player in the fields of propulsion innovation and modular starship design, directly rivaling its former parent in certain markets. Vyllia Sancetti remains a key powerbroker in the corporate landscape who is respected, ambitious, and always a step ahead in the complex web of galactic industry, who now finds herself facing off against an adversary who is certainly too close to home...
RATIONALE
For the past five-decades, Santhe Corporation has seen the rise and subsequent fall of many galactic powers who have come to rule over Lianna. It has survive, and even at times flourished, when the Tenth Sith Empire ruled the Tion Cluster, and so it did too during the reigns of the Ashlan Crusade. The same could not be said during the reign of the Empire of the Lost, however.
Following the catastrophic Siege of Tion, combined with the decision of the Trade Federation of Planet's decision to place the Empire of the Lost (and it's territories) into a trade embargo (and the given classification as a 'CLASS C' economy) resulted in a severe strain and pressure on Santhe Corporation which coincided with a recession during the first Imperial occupation of the Outer Rim systems.
Vyllia Sancetti
-- then matriarch of the Santhe family-- also made the extraordinary decision to break away with one of Santhe's subsidaries in the form of Santhe/Sienar Technologies which left it's parent company in ruins. By the end of the Kilran Dynasty's rule in 902 ABY (and the suffered economic collapse of their Empire which was engineered by the seditious organisation known as the Fifth Wing during the aftermath of the Sartinaynian Crisis) the Santhe Corporation was left bankrupt with much of it's assets and designs stolen by third parties or taken outright by it's former subsidiary.Months after announcing it's bankruptcy a new non-profit investment fund known as Vūm approached a long-distant cousin of Vyllias to revive the company so it could begin operating again in the new Imperial regime that had just taken over Lianna.
The cousin was
Eirys Santhe
who was pitched a proposition where Vūm would buy the substantial debt incurred by Santhe Corporation during the disastrous two-year reign of Kilran Dynasty and offer investment so that the company could once again begin operations under her leadership therefore taking it out of it's bankruptcy in a new era of renewal and resurgence for the company. In exchange Eirys was to align herself economically, commercially and politically with her new associates that she had made in this obscure, esoteric non-profit investment fund located in Lianna City. Contracts were subsequently signed and so began the work of revivifying the company.During the Second Imperial Occupation of the Outer Rim systems (after the rise of The Imperial Confederation) a new initiative was launched under the umbrella of [COMECI] (Commission For The Establishment of Civilian Interests) by the head of the Imperial Correction Directorate called PROJECT TION. The goals of the initiative were to inspire a revivification of "IMPERIALISM" in the Outer Rim systems which included the creation of several Imperial factory prisons (most notably on Tion) and a rejuvenation of the Imperial economy so that companies such as Santhe Corporation could once again begin trading in a new unprecedented era of success for the Imperial remnants.
Santhe Corporation (now revived with Vūm backing) capitalized on the opportunities afforded by the directives, policies and schemes of this new project. The company was brought on board to begin operations at the shipyards and drydocks found at Lianna, Mon Cala, Pammant and Minntooine while offices (for the purpose of recruitment, development or engineering) were opened (or some cases reopened) on Bimmisaari and Saleucami.
This boon, combined with the support of other corporations such as N&Z Umbrella Corporation and VesperWorks, led to a resurgent Santhe Corporation re-emerging in Imperial space in 902 ABY.
