Founded by Katelyn Von Doan on the picturesque planet of Naboo, Galactic Vintage is a premier luxury distillery and brewing company that specializes in producing the finest wines, spirits, and ales in the galaxy. Drawing inspiration from Naboo's rich natural resources and sophisticated culture, Galactic Vintage's drinks are crafted with a meticulous attention to detail, focusing on quality, elegance, and exclusivity.
From its humble beginnings catering to Naboo's elite, Galactic Vintage has rapidly grown into a renowned brand among the galaxy's affluent circles. The company prides itself on sourcing only the highest-quality ingredients, primarily from local Naboo vineyards and distilleries, while occasionally importing rare and exotic components to enhance select flagship drinks. Every bottle carries the prestige of Naboo's craftsmanship, steeped in tradition but modern in execution.
Although a fiercely independent business, Galactic Vintage is known for forging high-profile partnerships with influential figures, luxurious resorts, and high-end event planners. The company accepts exclusive manufacturing requests for private labels and custom orders, ensuring each client's experience is unique and unparalleled. However, Katelyn maintains strict standards—only a select few can commission such creations, as the brand's reputation for premium quality must remain untarnished.

The company avoids entanglements with factional conflict, preferring to deal with governments, organizations, and clients that share their appreciation for elegance, culture, and refinement. Benevolent in nature, Galactic Vintage values sustainability, ensuring that their production methods are ecologically responsible, reflecting Naboo's harmony with nature.
Galactic Vintage stands as a beacon of taste and sophistication, catering only to the most discerning clients who value luxury above all else.
RATIONALE
Katelyn Von Doan founded Galactic Vintage out of a desire to create something of her own, stepping out of the shadow of her parents' successful luxury boutique on Naboo. Although initially expected to take over the family business, Katelyn's ambition and entrepreneurial spirit pushed her to forge her own path. With a passion for fine wines and spirits, she saw an untapped market in creating exclusive, high-quality beverages for Naboo's elite, and ultimately, for the galaxy's wealthiest circles. Using the business acumen she gained from her education and early experience working with her parents, Katelyn meticulously built her brand from the ground up.
While her family initially disapproved of her decision, Katelyn's tenacity and vision proved unstoppable. She financed the venture herself with family capital and a series of calculated investments, ensuring that Galactic Vintage would remain entirely under her control. Through shrewd networking and forming strategic alliances with influential figures, Katelyn successfully expanded her company's reach and influence. Now, she remains the sole visionary behind Galactic Vintage, driving its growth with her unrelenting pursuit of perfection and exclusivity.
