Starting as one of the bacta harvesting groups dominating the economic growth of Thyferra, Xucphra Corporation has slowly built both its reputation and consumer base over its lifetime. Prior to Year 5, Xucphra Corporation shared sale of Thyferra-produced bacta with other companies within the infamous Bacta Cartel. Seeds of success were planted in Year 5, when the Galactic Empire invaded Thyferra and officially disbanded the Bacta Cartel. The new Imperial government appointed Xucphra Corporation as the sole bacta-producing entity allowed on the planet. Flourishing for five years under the Galactic Empire, Xucphra decided in Year 10, to open its doors to the galaxy as a whole.
Currently it is owned by Dac Kain and is one of the two companies within the Mecrotica Conglomerate. It is led by Benjamin Kain.

History
The long history of Xucphra Corporation is tied intimately to the development of the human presence on Thyferra and the synthesis of Bacta. Bacta is a healing solution now known throughout the galaxy as the most efficient and effective treatment for even the most dire of wounds. For a long time the recipe for bacta had been known only to the planet's native species, the giant insectoid Vratix. Some time after the development and perfection of the concoction, Thyferra was visited by a group of Human settlers. Surprised by their new bipedal neighbors, the Vratix willingly shared the secret of bacta production to the Humans. Over time, the human occupants developed large cities separate from the Vratix hives. Their culture became more and more entrenched in the planet's history, and heir bodies grew taller and more slender (as a result of Thyferra's low gravity). Generations after their original arrival, the human colonists became the Thyferrans. It is here where Xucphra's story truly begins.
The Bacta Cartels
Over time, Thyferran influence on the planet grew. Large companies sprouted up around the commercialization of bacta and guided the Thyferran government to acquire more and more land to grow alazhi, a prime ingredient in bacta synthesis. As a result, Thyferran-made alazhi farmland expanded further and further into unclaimed territories until the giant corporations ran out of room. Wishing to continue their growth, the planet's two bacta-producing companies, Xucphra Corporation and Zaltin Corporation, formed a "Bacta Cartel" and began to take Vratix-controlled land by force. The reign of the Bacta Cartel lasted until it was disbanded in Year 5.
Imperial Occupation
- "Our request to have them serve in our fields or be sprayed with bug spray was overwhelming accepted by their village leaders. The Xucphra Corporation will see to it that the Vratix will serve us whole-heartedly, or they will become soap available in your bathrooms."
- — Moff Victor von Ismay
In Year 5, Day 187, the Galactic Empire invaded and seized control of Thyferra and eliminated the Bacta Cartel.[1] Noting that Xucphra was largely considered to be part of the pro-Human movement of the planets' non-Vratix residents, the Galactic Empire appointed the Corporation as the sole producer of bacta on Thyferra, essentially monopolizing the substance in the hands of Xucphra.
After the invasion, Xucphra fell under the direct control of Moff Victor von Ismay[2], the man who initially led the assault on Thyferra. Under the watchful eye of Moff von Ismay and the Empire, Xucphra continued its production in full force. Under the new leadership, Xucphra Corporation enslaved many Vratix hives. While the quantity is unreported, the Empire cites all non-dissenting Vratix villages were unharmed, while the rest were killed.
A Change in Leadership
In Year 10, Xucphra Corporation officially became recognized as a galaxy-wide corporation under the leadership of Roan Axios. Shortly thereafter, Xucphra was annexed into the Mecrotica Conglomerate. In year 15, Xucphra changed hands when the leader of the Mecrotica Conglomerate, Dac Kain, purchased the company from Alex Tylger. After the buyout was completed, Ms. Axios announced her retirement from the company. Stepping in for her was Benjamin Kain. Benjamin Kain, Dac’s brother, currently leads Xucphra corporation.
