DESCRIPTION
Akiratis Industries is an offshoot of Vandiir Consolidated Holdings and serves primarily as its manufacturing arm. Named after the Sith word for "horizon", the company is also involved in a number of research and development projects, from the mundane to the truly esoteric. In a similar manner to its parent company, Akiratis' operations are highly dualistic in that they tend to be a positive influence on "civilised" worlds and peoples, while callously exploiting those they deem unworthy. Despite this, Akiratis is, as a rule, dedicated to minimising the pollution produced by their facilities, regardless of location. While this can certainly be interpreted as benevolence, the harsh truth is that this has more to do with the perfectionism pervading the company, which is heavily encouraged by its administration.
This is further reflected in their products which have a tendency to be better, but more expensive, than the norm. While certainly positive in and of itself, this has led to a culture of perhaps paying a bit too little attention to production costs in comparison to quality, which means that Akiratis products are frequently too pricey for the common man, though there are certainly exceptions.
RATIONALE
As Vandiir Consolidated Holdings grew, the need to compartmentalise for the sake of efficiency became more and more apparent; out of this need sprang Akiratis Industries. Originally inheriting many of the parent company's factories and R&D facilities on Serenno, the new subsidiary quickly expanded to include a wider range of manufacturing than its parent company had ever engaged in. Though originally made up solely of relocated personnel from its parent, the company quickly grew to establish its own recruitment base and even its own corporate culture.
Largely dominated by engineers, researchers, and the like, the company quickly grew to focus less and less on cost, much to the chagrin of VCH's vast Finance division. While the initial leadership tried to counteract this development, the administration committed to a complete reversal of policy after the Arkanian Zira Cado was placed in charge by direct order of Adrian Vandiir. A capable engineer in her own right, the newly minted Director Cado actively promoted this culture of uncompromising perfectionism, putting it to good use as the company expanded to Umbara in an attempt to acquire and adapt to their own needs the natives' particular brand of high-technology.
