DESCRIPTION
Acting as a subsidiary for the Republic Engineering Corporation, the Free Dac Engineering Corps was a small-scale shipwright that would produce vessels to supplement their parent company’s ever-growing catalogue. Naturally, as the subsidiary was populated by a portion of the surviving Mon Calamari population, their starships would be made in their time-honoured and traditional style. Having grown distrustful of various client-species or races, the Free Dac Engineering Corps would only accept private-manufacturing requests from species that were once native to their lost and occupied homeworld.

As such, the Free Dac Engineering Corps was ‘loyal’ in a sense to their parent corporation for giving them the chance to restore their people’s identity and pride. With that said, however, they were treated as equal partners by the Republic Engineering Corporation. There were contracts and such that bound the FDEC to the Coruscanti company, but they were nothing more than corporate formalities.

Through the benevolence of, and equal partners with REC - the People of Dac would have a chance to start again.

RATIONALE
In the aftermath of the Sith Empire’s brutal occupation and subsequent poisoning of Dac’s oceans, the surviving populace took to the stars. Those that still clung to life found themselves battling the martial might of the Sith-Imperial Navy, seeking to break through to freedom. Many starships were sacrificed and left in ruins, whilst others - ferrying the future of the Mon Calamari people - managed to slip the noose.

They spread out amongst the stars, going wherever they could find refuge. Having heard of their plight, the Republic Engineering Corporation offered to take in a flotilla of refugees - even giving them the use of one of their many deep-space installations so that they could repair their ships, and rebuild their lives.

While many saw the chance that was given to them as an opportunity to restore a glimmer of what was, others saw it as a silent promise for revenge.
