Legend

this bacta-producing corporation, based on the planet Verkuyl, was the only such facility known to operate outside the control of the Bacta Cartel headquartered on Thyferra. During the height of the New Order, many of the corporation's leaders - as well as many of Verkuyl's political leaders - abandoned the philosophy of self-ownership and aligned themselves with the Empire. It was founded by Corlin Quarle Deld, who manned the operation with indentured workers. While not exactly slaves, the workers eventually owned more to the BactaCo than their small salaries paid. The corporation was nationalized by the Empire when it took control of Verkuyl, and the workers were freed from their contracts. However, they were forced to work more hours with less time off. The New Republic later liberated Verkuyl and the BactaCo.
