History[]

For millennia, Loronar produced a wide variety of products, but was best known for its military hardware produced through itsLoronar Defense Industries subsidiary. The Loronar range of products contained everything frominfantry weapons tospace stations. Loronar's products were sold to governments,mercenaries, private interests and any other party willing to pay the price.

After the fall of theGalactic Republic, Loronar was quick to align itself withPalpatine'sNew Order, but was also responsible for armingRebel Alliance and even turned five hundred percent profit in ten years of arming them.^[4] During the military build up that followed the establishment of theGalactic Empire, Loronar received a lucrative contract for the production of capital ships like the versatileStrike-class medium cruiser and massiveTorpedo Spheres.

Over time, Loronar gained a reputation for corruption, initiating riots onAmpliquen, staging a coup onKing's Galquek and committing rights violations in theGantho system in9 ABY.^[5] With the death of Palpatine and the decay of the Empire, Loronar, under the leadership of then-CEOGnifmak Dymurra, aligned itself withSeti Ashgad in his bid for power in the Meridian sector. After subduing the revolt and returning the Loronar-abusedtsil, theNew Republic penalized Loronar heavily and brought those responsible for known crimes to justice. Loronar came close to bankruptcy.

Despite this, the New Republic came to rely on the conglomerate for military supplies as the Empire and Old Republic had before it. It fulfilled several major defense contracts and worked with theCorellian Engineering Corporation in fundingThe Nerfworks, a think tank specializing instarship design projects.
