Imperial Cooperative (ImpCo) is a consortium of former state-owned enterprises and worker cooperatives established in 902 ABY in the wake of the Dark Empire's collapse. It's origins could be traced back to the world of Cademimu V where a group of Imperial-aligned Capitalists and Merchants formed a conglomerate in a bid to monopolize as much of the former Imperial War Machine. As they expanded their reach across former Imperial space, this conglomerate would partner up with various localized worker cooperatives, a partnership that would eventually coalesce into ImpCo.
Following the model of the Corporation it aims to emulate, ImpCo source most of their technology components from worker cooperatives while also doing their best to responsibly source raw materials extracted from mineral-rich worlds. They strive to maintain a supply chain system that shares prosperity, and meets the material needs of all involved works along with the many Imperial communities they seek to uplift.
ImpCo accepts manufacturing requests from most governments, and more discretely, from Imperial factions dedicated to the restoration of Imperialism across the galaxy. While not loyal to any particular government, ImpCo is committed to preserving Imperialism across the galaxy and uplifting isolated communities left ignored and abandoned by self-righteous government in order to passively spread the ideas of Imperialism. Because of this ImpCo primarily contracts with organizations aligned with the principles of Imperialism. However, they're not above working with shadier corners of the Galaxy in order to meet their goals and objectives.
RATIONALE
When the Dark Empire collapsed, vast portions of it's former Military and Civilian Industries were left to the open free for the taking by opportunistic corporations and factions that might seek to exploit the resources once utilized to fuel the Imperial War Machine. Unwilling to accept this reality and allow these opportunistic groups of interests to take advantage of the collapse of the Dark Empire, Imperial elements under the direction of the former Lord-Regent Marlon Sularen moved quickly to grab control of as much of the Industries of the now defunct Dark Empire and organize them into a new corporation, one that could still serve Imperial interests while avoiding the wrath of the larger powers in the galaxy.
The result of this endeavor was the creation of Imperial Cooperative. Taking inspiration from the Core Worlds-based Federal Cooperative, Imperial Cooperative works to uplift Imperial communities that have been left isolated and vulnerable in the wake of the Dark Empire's collapse, often reinvesting into these communities and pursuing a people-driven policy while also beholding itself to it's workers in order to preserve the legacy of the Empire long after it's collapse. Furthermore, Imperial Cooperative has established an official stance of neutrality as to avoid direct retaliation from major factions and megacorporations that operate within the immediate vicinity of former Imperial Space while also facilitating it's integration into the galactic community.
