Minor Faction
Throne World: Corulag
Major Rivals: Corellian Engineering
No Loss, Think Teinlos
The notoriously byzantine Teinlos Syndicate trades on the Galactic Trade Exchange in fierce competition with several other manufacturing and design organisations, most notably Corellian Engineering. Possessing major ship-building facilities across several sectors, its diversified cross-economics are a wonder to behold; certainly, there are few in the galaxy who can understand them, so most don't bother.
The corporation owns a plethora of subsidiary companies of various degrees of legality, rumoured to be legitimate fronts for the Black Sun organisation, and has more than a dozen times in as many years been sanctioned by the Imperial Commerce Organisation (ICO) for breaches of trade laws.
However, because of the almost infinite complexity of the subsidiary-of-subsidiary-of-subsidiary system utilised by Teinlos, it is often difficult even for the Empire to trace the activities of a given sub-contractor or branch and take action through the sluggish courts before Teinlos has liquefied them or absorbed them within some other division of the colossal, kraken-like organisation.
