Dark Skies Gearworks is a recycling company operating from Vorsia Companion in Neshig sector. The independent operation was brought to the galaxy on the 185th Day of the 13th Galactic Year with the simple intention of providing reliable services and keeping a small family orientated workplace. The relaxed environment and upmost integrity helps keep employees and family members at ease, while giving prospective and existing clients the comfort in knowing they're getting an honest quote and assessment for their needs, without the bureaucratic bias other company's might try to push.

With control of their destiny, and a 'who cares' stance towards all things Galactic Civil War, Dark Skies Gearworks is a recycling company that gets things done. Without the need to lie or cheat, all they want to do is take a job and blow things up, embracing the inner pyromaniac inside them all.

History

Dark Skies Gearworks wasn't shaped by the Galactic Civil War. Political elections and changed ideologies had no part in its inception. The recycling operations under the guise of Countess Lilith Kaine-Del`croix and the Catra family commenced on Vorsia to simply operate without oversight or agenda, to benefit employees and customers alike.

Forgemaster

Lilith Kaine-Del`croix had the unique opportunity in her past to rise to Officer ranks inside Galactic Empire’s Research & Development branch while she served in the Industrial department under direct supervision of a Sith Lord. However what seemed to be like the perfect job for a young ambitious Imperial turned into nightmare after several events took place because of internal politics and power plays. False accusations and betrayal forced Lilith to open her eyes realize that the Imperial cause was not the undying lore of the galaxy. This was life shattering for a girl that was drilled to be an Imperial ever since she was born.

With help of her family and its friend, Lilith found her bearing in the galaxy in The Church of Reansucru’s ideology. While never an active part of the Church it showed her a new path that was amplified by service in the Family of Black Sun. Her desire and aspirations for wealth and power were gone, and replaced with passion in the small operations and freedom. Though as it often happens the history had the need to repeat itself and Lilith was struck down by lies and betrayal again. Fortunately during her time in the Family she grew closer to Cait Catra, a Black Sun Vigo, and other members of the illusive Catra family who helped her through the hard times that included a marriage dissolution and several deaths of close associates. Despite retiring from the Family for personal reasons, a friendship was forged that was as close to blood relations as anyone could comprehend.

Dael`mor Logistics

Foundations for what would become Dark Skies Gearworks were laid down when Catra family and other mandalorians of the Dael’mor clan started their first operation known as Dael`mor Logistics. It wasn’t an extension of the clan but a functioning small, private transportation business with funding from the clan. Its beginning was slow and only after Cait persuaded Lilith to join the administration board it began to see more profit. Rather quickly Lilith went to second in command and later took on the mantle of the Director and the company saw increase in profits after only few weeks, which kept the business afloat in a privatised sense. Operating throughout various corners of the galaxy, it allowed sentients from all walks of life the chance to hire their services, without the worry of political alignment or law enforcement interference.

Even though the profits coming in, the logistics operation was a very niche endeavour in the growing galaxy, and something that needed to change. If she was to truly come out of retirement for a long term Lilith desired to go back to her industrial roots and saw an opportunity that would help her privately as well as provide opportunity for the company to grow. Lilith’s private moon needed its reconstruction to be finished and the galaxy lacked more independent recycling companies. After some discussions and planning the Dael`mor Logistics was dissolved and its assets, along with several loyal pilots were used to create the Dark Skies Gearworks Opened to the galaxy and operated with the intention of providing recycling and transportation to the galaxy, it gives sentients the opportunity to undertake required operations without bureaucratic interference or government oversight.

Dark Skies forged

Despite the previous endeavours or affiliations of the Catra family or co-owner and operator Lilith Kaine-Del`croix, employee integrity and wellbeing is of the highest importance. Positive trading operations and honesty are emphasised, with harsh penalties to employees who test the policy. The small operation highlights the importance of a family environment, encouraging understanding and input from all participants to shape the direction of the company. These ideals help ensure Dark Skies Gearworks will be able to gain solid future in the galactic recycling.

Sole Ownership

At Year 13 Day 341 ownership was fully transferred to Lilith Delcroix. The co-founders issued following comments:

"After short negations with Cait Catra we have decided that it would be in the best interest of the company to have singular ownership to maximise the efficiency in which we can operate. The transfer to full ownership went smoothly; Gearworks should not expect to be affected in anyway. Cait was well compensated for her stake in the company. Despite the dissolution of our partnership agreement, I’ll be always grateful to the opportunity and support Cait offered when we decided to start Gearworks."

— Countess Lilith of Vorsia

"I can't think of anyone better suited or more respected in my eyes than Lilith Delcroix to fully take the reigns of ownership from me. Her dedication and drive are second to none, and I trust that my namesake group will continue to expand and extend itself among the stars and beyond."

— Vigo Cait Catra

Notable Assets of the Dark Skies Gearworks

The Masterforge

The primary hub and headquarters of Dark Skies Gearworks, The Masterforge acts as a administrative hub where the leadership of the recycling company can plan its future, while also working together to inspire others about its vision and plan for society on Vorsia. Designed in part by Forgemaster Lilith Delcroix, The Masterforge has state of the art offices for the officers of Dark Skies Gearworks, while promoting technologically advanced research laboratories to help create and advance recycling and construction tools to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of operations.

Surrounded by various ornaments and plaques created from the relics and scraps of the first recycling operations undertaken by Dark Skies, they each pay tribute to various individuals and organisations that helped shape Dark Skies Gearworks, and helped it become the company that it is today. In the main atrium of the facility stands a large ornate state of Lilith Delcroix, one of the founders and current Forgemaster of Dark Skies Gearworks which was donated by the citizens of Vorsia for their appreciation for all the company has done for local employment opportunities and the economy at large.

The Orbital Forge

The Orbital Forge is the orbit facility of Vorsia and the second home of Dark Skies Gearworks. The crowning achievement in manufacturing and design allows Dark Skies to control recycling operations and resources through the grand Recycling IV station. Often frequented by members of the company, it allows for a constant inventory of all assets and personnel that are on assignment, while also managing all incoming orders for the company as managed by an assortment of pristine protocol droids.

The station, while managing all primary tasks and assignments of the company, also houses the majority of all raw materials the company acquire through operations. While regularly traded and delivered to local business on Vorsia, they're also used for administrative upkeep on the planet when not being farmed into the adjacent production station, The Orbital Foundry, to help the increased production of Dark Skies Gearworks.
