A rather unique company, at least in the current corporate era, Tra'tabalut'ram'ika hearkens back to an older galactic era, that of privateers and joint-stock-based trade companies owned by small numbers of people. Founded in 880ABY by Krenis Skirata, fellow Mandalorians, and contacts among the restlessly retired Alliance and Coalition special forces with the creation of a thousand shares purchased by the initial investors.
Dedicated primarily to privateering, the bulk of the initial investment went into purchasing a used ship and refitting it for their purpose, as well as renting small warehouses on Svivren and Susevfi, as well as establishing a small legal department with a focus on League admiralty law as well as intelligence gathering as a means of identifying legitimate targets. The rest of the company was based around the initial ship.
The original shareholders purchased shares in the company as a whole. volunteers and later investors could buy shares in individual cruises, based on ship success rates and presumed cruising fields. Despite these differences, shareholders all have votes on company-wide decisions, with cruise participants and investors getting the most weight on their specific cruises.
RATIONALE:
With the growth of the Rimward Trade League and its military forces, Krenis found himself not too keen on enlisting in government service yet again, but also found himself with no purpose or skills for anything beyond fighting, making him restless and irritable. With his grudge against Palpatine (in particular), Sith (in general), and Imperials (as a result), he found the galaxy a target-rich environment but lacked a direction. After looking into the League's letters of marque and reprisal, Krenis began to develop an idea, based somewhat on an old ARC comrade, who deserted and formed a mercenary company.
Getting in touch with his contacts amongst the various veterans and Mandalorians, Krenis formed a new joint-stock company with a primary emphasis on privateering. He began by creating the legal documentation and registering the company under the new Queyta government as it joined the League. He created it initially with a thousand shares, which initial investors could purchase, primarily fellow veterans of the Galactic Republic, Galactic Alliance, Outer Rim Coalition, and fellow Mandalorians. The remaining shares were left open as pre-payments for new employees, with further shares being based around individual cruises.
