DESCRIPTION
Ever since the inception of the first Galactic Republic, Kuat Drive Yards has been at the forefront of design and innovation. A premier shipwright that has spent millennia upon millennia spent honing, perfecting and plying its trade on the galactic plane. Famed for producing vessels that have forged empires, razed worlds and safeguarded the ideals of rulers and despots alike. The Ten Houses of Kuat ultimately cared little for the what purpose their products were turned to, provided there was a profit to be made and their independence and (perhaps most importantly) their sovereignty was respected. And for the vast majority of Kuat Drive Yards’ history, they reigned largely supreme. Unchallenged, unrivaled, unstoppable.
Or, such was the case. The truth is, it has been a long time since the Ten held any sort of dominion over the orbital ring. In the last few decades alone, the yards have experienced an almost incalculable string of heavy losses, with setback after setback all but decimating the company’s position upon the galactic stage.
A shadow of what it once was, with many of its subsidiaries experiencing their own meteoric falls from grace, it found its once lofty position on the corporate scene a tenuous proposition at best. Many were quick to blame the centuries of mismanagement they experienced at the hands of the noble Houses of old, while others laid it at the feet of the outsiders that claimed ownership of the yards in recent years. The fact Verin's ownership continued that trend has done little to sooth resentment that simmered onboard the once great ring.
Tensions recently came to head, resulting in the untimely coup of Verin's leadership. In her stead, the new face of Sono Vhann now sits on the board.
RATIONALE
After the contract to salvage and restore the yards was won by Stellarwind Reclamation & Logistics,
Runi Verin
sought to secure a place upon the board in exchange for waiving the fees SR&L’s services. While understandably reluctant to offer such a prized position to yet another outsider, much less spacer trash from the outer rim, the additional funds offered by Verin and several other investors quickly smoothed over the bulk of the objections. While profitable, Verin's subsequent reign was unfortunately overshadowed by a period of instability in the core, with Kuat and the Yards being traded back and forth by the various governmental powers that rose and fell in quick succession. Ultimately, while Verin would hold on to a sizeable portion of her shares, she would eventually be ousted by the in favor of the Kuati native, Sono Vhann.
