Legend

this starship hyperdrive manufacturer designed some of the most artistic components ever seen. Nubian designs often incorporated J-type engine configurations. The Nubians were renowned for other starship components as well, including sublight engines and spaceframes. Originally known as the Nubian Design Collective, this corporation was formed by a group of humans, Bith, Zabrak, and Sullustans some 300 years before the Battle of Naboo. This loose coalition of designers and engineers claimed Nubia as their own world, and set out to produce high-technology starships for wealthy clients. When Emperor Palpatine instituted the New Order, the corporation went underground to try and keep their designs out of the Empire's hands. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Nubia Star Drives returned to the galactic community and once again began creating their unique designs in public.
