Santhe/Sienar Technologies
this conglomerate was originally known as Sienar Technologies, until Kerred Santhe managed to purchase a majority control of Sienar. He forced the corporation to move its headquarters to Lianna, where it was responsible for the design of several civilian starship designs and components. It was also the parent company of Sienar Fleet Systems, Santhe Passenger and Freight, and Curich Engineering. Following the growth of the New Republic, Lady Valles Santhe decided that she would enter the military market, and began designing war machines under the monicker Sienar Army Systems. Their first designs were provided to the forces supporting the reborn Emperor Palpatine in the battle for Coruscant. Note that the Dark Empire Sourcebook says that Lady Santhe wanted to take control of the floundering Seinar Fleet Systems and remake it in her own image. The result was Santhe/Seinar Technologies, a company independent of Imperial control but willing, nonetheless, to deal almost exclusively with the Empire. Santhe/Sienar was one of the original voting sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority.
