DESCRIPTION
The Glolmark Corporation used to be Big Money. The corporation was founded in 760 ABY by Branna Glolmark and by 775 ABY, they had control over most of the planet Telos and colonized many planets in the Unknown Regions, placing them all under the fearsome flag bearing the faceplate of one of their military droids. Speaking of the military droids, they manufactured them on Geonosis using formerly abandoned droid factories used by the CIS during the Clone Wars. Officially, they were classified as Security Droids, but that was just a way to avoid laws banning private armies.

The corporation had absolutely no regard for the sake of their workers, and often used badly treated slaves in their exploitation of the planets. Their downfall eventually came when word got out in 793 ABY about their corrupt practices. Mass boycotts of Glolmark products were organized, and some planets such as Naboo and New Alderaan sent operatives to various Glolmark colonized planets to incite slave uprisings. The corporation was hit hard by these measures, and eventually declared bankruptcy after their CEO Luther Glolmark was imprisoned for his crimes and the corporation lost control over all of their colony planets. However, the Glolmark Corporation flagship Cyclonus escaped to the Outer Rim, with Luther Glolmark’s son, Franklin, onboard.

Even though the corporation was believed to be gone, it still left a significant mark on the galaxy, especially in the Unknown Regions. Many people on planets there still have a strong anti-corporate sentiment to this day, preferring to buy things from local businesses. Also abundant are rogue Glolmark Security Droids wandering around the galaxy, working as bounty hunters, hired muscle, or claiming to still be working for Glolmark and trying to colonize planets.

However, the Glolmark Corporation is far more active than most people believe. While loosing control over the Unknown Regions was a major setback, the corporation has recently resurfaced in the Outer Rim, under the leadership of Wendell Mortimer Glolmark , who intends to build the corporation back up to its former glory, and then punish the planets who contributed to the corporation’s initial downfall. Lately, the Corporation has set up a temporary headquarters on the planet Exocron. While there, they managed to acquire several shektis from a biologist named Vash Walker. The Corporation is also unofficially affiliated with the Final Dawn.

RATIONALE
Wendell Mortimer Glolmark inherited the company from his father, Franklin Glolmark.
