DESCRIPTION

Wrestling independence from the fallen GALACTIC EMPIRE, Haelos Star Yards has established itself as a major shipbuilding corporation. Through trade, politics, and subterfuge its corporate agents have brokered favorable deals with the NEW REPUBLIC, amassing wealth and influence while retaining neutrality. Luxury liners, cargo haul craft and delicate pleasure ships stream out of Denon’s orbital foundries, marking the ascent of a rising corporate power.

ORGANIZATION & OPERATION

Situated in the INNER RIM in the Denon system, various branches of corporate authority effectively control the rich world. A planet wide city, Denon boast industry and population rivalling Coruscant.

Haelos Star Yards operates seven massive orbital stations tethered by orbital lifts.

Station Yksi-1 is the primary logistics hub from which smaller goods are shipped and raw materials and machined parts are received.

Stations Kaksi-2, Kolme-3 and Neljä-4 are production facilities, building any craft smaller than 300 meters.

Station Viisi-5 repairs and conducts maintenance on craft with certified warranties.

Stations Kuusi-6 and Seitsemän-7 are production facilities specializing in building any craft larger than 300 meters.

R.A.S.A – Resale and Salvage Arm

Founded in the wake of the BATTLE OF ENDOR, R.A.S.A. profits from the increased demand for weapons systems from all corners of the Galaxy. Older vessels from the Clone Wars, Alliance and imperial vessels can all be purchased for a price. Clean chain codes are a rarity, and many purchases go toward uncertain ends.

Background, Origin, and history

Founded long before the rise of the EMPIRE, the original HSY has moved corporate headquarters half a dozen times before settling on Denon. Strong-armed out of lucrative military contracts by prominent shipbuilding conglomerates like Sienar Fleets Systems Kuat Drive Yards forced HSY to remain in the civilian sector.

With the fist of the EMPEROR closing around the galaxy, imperial authorities seized the Public Order Resentencing Directive’s clause on repaying debts to nearly bankrupt and nationalize Haelos Star Yards. Biding their time, loyalist and career elements of the corporation threw off their overlords, maintaining a neutral stance towards the new Republic while opening trade and production on a massive scale free of imperial taxation.
