- — Het "Patches" Patchateeka, Vice President of the Kerdos Company. Translated from Jawaese, it means "Rust, junk, and Kerdos above all."
The Kerdos Company is the New Republic's nationalized recycling company. When buildings don't meet regulations, or ships cost more to maintain than they are worth, New Republicans turn to the Kerdos Company to demolish them and extract any raw materials they can. The Kerdos Company uses advanced extraction and recycling techniques that are protected by many New Republican patents. The Kerdos Company also serves as the governing company of the Sluis system.
The Kerdos Company has been the center of both controversy and praise with its planetary planning and development projects. Projects such as the Kerdos Employee City Program have begun reshaping the Sluis system at a rapid pace. While some environmental groups warn against such programs, the Kerdos Company has carefully relocated many species and declared Sluis Van as a protected planet.

History
The Kerdos Company is an ancient company. When Coruscant was still being developed, the Kerdos Company assisted in construction, waste management, and demolition of old buildings. Rough times hit and the Kerdos Company fell with the rise of the Galactic Empire. The Kerdos Company has since been reborn and is now a highly respected and very productive branch of the New Republic's Ministry of Civil Engineering.
Glorious Beginnings
Kerdos Company started out as a single recycling plant on Coruscant during the time of the Old Republic. Over the years Kerdos Company managed to grow to be a significant player in Coruscant industry, providing the ever-thirsty and growing economy with valuable raw materials salvaged from all manner of old and now inoperable or useless assets. Oppression and Dissolution
These years of growth and prosperity came to a sudden end with the rise of the Galactic Empire. The Empire's aggressive nationalisation and suppression policies made free business impossible for Kerdos. Vital members of its staff, ranging from normal workers to management, faced restrictions and oppression for being non-humans. The final straw came for many when the company was renamed "Imperial Waste Services". The non-human staff were treated so poorly, they came to refer to themselves as "Imperial Waste".
Rebirth and Rise
As a result Kerdos suffered an internal split, with a large portion of its staff abandoning Coruscant for the Outer Rim and leaving behind a mere shell of the conglomerate that it once was. With the help of the Rebel Alliance the defectors managed to rebuild their business unoppressed on Adbatar, making its first new step onto the galactic market in the end of year 7 of the galactic timeline. This new group, formed with a united goal towards freedom, would come to be recognised as a resurrection of the company they had once broken off with; once again, they would be known as the Kerdos company.
