Background: Ranked third behind Corellia and Kuat
in starship construction, Fondor has staked its reputa-
tion not in mass production, but in quality. Many of
the best-designed frigates and capital ships are built
in its shipyards, from the Super Star Destroyer Execu-
tor to Hutt yachts. The Fondor Starshipwrights Guild
guarantees this caliber of quality by exercising control
over every step that goes into starship construction,.
from blueprint designs and mechanical implementa-
tionto planetary governance and even the micro-
management of workers' daily lives.

Millennia of starship construction have taken their
toll on Fondor. Navigating leftover debris or the star-
ship girders that ring the planet is a nightmare. Most
freighters dock at orbiting stations, with passengers
conveyed by shuttle through the safest corridors to
the planet. Newcomers often gasp at the effect min-
ing and industrialization has had on the surface. Virtu-,
ally all of Fondor is covered with factories, exhaust
stacks, administration complexes, and metal refiner-
ies. Its underground is no different, a hollowed-out
hive of access tunnels and steam vents.

The guild is quite aware that their hard-working
members need a release for stress, and consequently
has turned Fondor's capital into the perfect retreat for
well-intentioned debauchery. Just about every vice is
offered in some form or another, in compliance with
guild regulations, of course. Workers understand that

too much indulgence can lead to termination, though

often it does not go that far, since the guild keeps an

eye'on its employees at all times.

The guild relies on droids to keep its sentient work-

force's size manageable. Self-service units accomplish

the most menial tasks, while giant droid brains co-

ordinate production cycles, workers' schedules, and

large-scale projects to achieve maximum efficiency.

This dependence on mechanical labor has given birth

to Fondor's second industry: droid design and manu-

facture. Fondor turns out some of the most capable

labor droids in the galaxy.

In the last few decades, Fondor's shipyards have

been nationalized' by the Empire. This, plus dracohian

security measures during the construction of the -Ex-

ecutor, turned Fondor into an Imperial military enclave.

EDCE OF THE EMPIRE

MDDN OF NALLASTIA

C

enturies ago, a group of Fondorians broke

away from the guild to protect the jungle

moon of Nallastia from exploitation. Sympa-

thetic Mon Calamari and Ithorians in the Re-

public Senate rallied behind the Nallastian

movement to recognize its independence, much

to the guild's ire. Now Fondor's moon revolves

around the planet like a tempting jewel, and is

whispered to be a shelter for the Rebel Alliance.
