Any time, anywhere, we’re there

The Czerka Mercantile is a powerful galactic entity in its own right, a corporate colossus of almost incomparable size. Whilst technically a subsidiary of the Galactic Empire's many bureaucratic appendages, the corporation operates its own mechanisms and particularly in the Outer Rim exercises a high degree of autonomy.

A vast entity with a myriad of economic interests spread across thousands of worlds, Czerka is somewhat ubiquitous in the Outer Rim, its cheap but usually reliable equipment shipped to multitudes of colonies and Imperial garrisons, utilising what most assume to be any means of securing trade—including smuggling and black market contracts.

Precisely because their operations remain fixed outside the usual sphere of influence of the New Order Corporation, Czerka maintains its independence and the Galactic Empire traditionally turns a blind eye to its excesses and abuses until the planets it services formally fall within the bureaucratic scope of Imperial territory.

Czerka are one of the oldest corporations in existence, having been formed not long after the declaration of the Old Republic. Its fortunes have risen and waned over that incredible span of time, seeing them exert immense control, expand almost exponentially, then almost collapse into ruin, only to rise once more. If their history is anything to go by, Czerka Mercantile will be around for a long, long time yet.
