Sadon Shipwrights

Sadon Shipwrights was a company that produced starships during the time of the Old Sith Wars.

History
A few years before the start of the Mandalorian Wars, Sadon produced the Dionad-class transport. They later began production of an updated version of the Dionad-class during the Dark Wars, known as the Heraklon-class transport.

Sadon fitted no weapons systems to the Heraklon-class, to reduce production costs. The transport was a commercial success and became more popular than similar transports that Sadon's rivals were producing. However, following an incident in 3,951 BBY involving the Zhug brothers, a group of Duros bounty hunters, sales of the Heraklon-class fell. A number of Sadon executives considered designing a new type of transport, to replace the Heraklon-class. However, it was saved by a change in Sadon's advertising, to highlight how the passengers and cargo of a Heraklon-class transport would be safe in the event of an accident. The rebranding succeeded and sales of the Heraklon-class returned to a profitable level again, ensuring the ship's continued production.
