Karrel Engineering

Formed during the waning years of the Galactic Republic, Karrel Engineering has forged itself in the fires of the Clone Wars. Contracted by the Republic to produce licensed copies of the ARC-170 and Y-Wing, they proved more than capable of handling complex engineering problems despite their relative inexperience. After the end of the Clone Wars they successfully lobbied in the Senate to become a producer of TIEs and other ships for the Empire, despite protest from Santhe and other larger corporations.
