To differentiate itself from similar corporate actors, the Corex Trading Company strives to build an unimpeachable record of reliability, precision, and efficiency, delivering on its contractual obligations to the letter; Corex may not always be the cheapest contractor, but they always stay within budget (or heads are rolling). While previously known for its rather dubious free-and-employ policy - where Sith-Imperial slaves had their freedom bought in exchange for signing ironclad employment contracts - scrutiny from Globex's Board of Directors have led to changes in corporate culture.
Recently the last of these ex-slaves received an early termination of their employment contracts, followed by, in quite a few cases, the offer of less dubious contracts; at the same time, a few of Corex's more implicated executives resigned "to spend more time with their families".
Following these reforms, organics have largely been cycled out of more dangerous duties, except when strictly necessary, in favour of droids; this automation extends to other portions of the business as well, most prominently manufacturing. Where risk to organics is unavoidable, Corex has continued its policy of offering high-quality cybernetic replacements for any body parts lost in during execution of one's duties.
RATIONALE
The Corex Trading Company was formed in 859 ABY following a series of complex mergers, bargain-bin procurements, and backroom deals involving several entities, including Core Express LLC and the soon-to-be disbanded Qares Logistics; the end result of this corporate clusterfeth was a shiny new brand, a lot of confused employees, and a great deal of uncertainty in the market.
Playing up this uncertainty with the help of carefully positioned allies in the new corporate structure, Adrian Vandiir was able to acquire a full two-thirds of the company surprisingly cheaply, consolidating his interests before the other major players involved were able to catch up to what was going on. While this obviously created a great deal of resentment, it was all perfectly legal.
The Globex Corporation eventually acquired Vandiir's shares and, over a few years, those still held by private owners.
