Tier: V
DESCRIPTION
In the past BlasTech Industries was the premiere arms and defense corporation of the Galaxy. Their reach was wide and they operated on dozens of worlds throughout the universe. In recent times a combination of corporate evaluations, property forfeiture and being put on the wider market has reduced BlasTech to a shell of what it once was.
Their holdings have decreased to the ancient locations they have operated one way or another throughout the millennia. Their focus has shrunk to only the core principles of their organization.
Now under new and bold leadership BlasTech attempts to recapture lost ground and once again establish itself as a powerful brand in the Galaxy.
Coruscant: Only fitting that the jewel of the core serves as the Headquarters for the company, with many of the business transactions and day-to-day administration taking place in the offices that Blas-Tech owns within the Financial District.
Byblos: Byblos serves as the central hub for the company’s research and development facilities, taking advantage of the famed University of Byblos to poach directly recruit some of the sharpest up and coming minds in the galaxy. Following the recent corporate shuffle, the R&D labs on Byblos have seen an increased level of funding that have allowed them to expand and begin research into less conventional fields of interest, all with an eye to push the name of BlasTech to the galactic forefront once more.
Cymoon I: The undisputed heart of production for the modern day BlasTech, Cymoon I is home to one of the largest munition factories in the Galaxy, the all too imaginatively named Weapons Factory Alpha. Nearly all the new products produced by the company can trace their construction back to the facility here. The refuse fields that surround the facility are also frequently used as testing grounds for the latest prototypes prior to mass development.
Druckenwell: BlasTech have operated an extensive manufacturing complex on Druckenwell since the early days of the company’s founding. While its relative importance has since been overshadowed by the acquisition factory on Cymoon I, it nevertheless continues to serve as key feature in the BlasTech portfolio, producing many of the core products on which the brand was built.
RATIONALE
BlasTech Industries has been a staple in the wider galaxy for the better part of a millenia. In recent years the corporation was managed under the mantle of the illustrious Arceneau Trade Company, where it produced and manufactured arms and other defensive technologies for the wider Galaxy. Until the time came that a corporate evaluation pointed out that Arceneau Trade only had need of a single arms corporation.
Two things happened after this.
The BlasTech brand was put on the market and a split-second after that several dozens of transactions passed through the major financial exchanges throughout the Galaxy. From Coruscant to Etti IV and back, millions of credits were exchanged, fortunes made and lost.
When the digital dust had finally settled, the minority ownership resided in the hands of private foundation, with a further significant majority being controlled by a shadowy Board of Directors that weigh into important matters at times.
