Kontag
during the last century of the Old Republic, the Kontag corporation was among the leaders in the outfitting of personal starships with augmented security features. During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, Kontag was a part of the Techno Union. Kontag's corporate headquarters, along with many of its factories, were located on the planet Pirin. As the years wore on, however, Kontag fell on hard times, and would have gone bankrupt if Lorian Nod hadn't come along to offer them a deal. He gave them a considerable sum to allow his people to sabotage the very ships they had been contracted to make secure, so that Nod could capture several key Old Republic Senators and hold them for ransom. Kontag's executives reluctantly agreed to the deal, knowing that any incoming credits would help them stay in business.
