Phlut Design Systems
this weapons development corporation was based on Muunilinst during the last decades of the Old Republic. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, PDS tried to secure a huge loan from the InterGalactic Banking Clan for the development of a battle droid it hoped to sell to the Trade Federation. When PDS defaulted on a payment, the IBC foreclosed immediately, taking possession of all the coporation's assets. The new battle droid design, known as the IG Lancer droid, was eventually provided to the Trade Federation.
