Colla-Arphocc Automata versus the Galactic Alliance

The Case of Colla-Arphocc Automata versus the Galactic Alliance was a legal trial that was brought by Phlac-Arphocc Automata Industries, along with its parent company, Colicoid Creation Nest, and sister company, Colla Designs, against the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances. The case was a major galactic event that caught the attention of major political, industrial, and criminal figures.

Prelude
Preceding and through-out the Clone Wars the Colicoids were infamous for the creation of their deadly battle droids. At the end of the Clone Wars and the proclamation of the Galactic Empire, the Colicoids were ordered to disarm or face violent reprisals from Imperial forces. Fearing the Empire the Colicoid Creation Nest hid itself but not before receiving documents from Emperor Palpatine stating that a ban on the production of battle droids was limited. In 42 ABY the ban had allegedly expired and that the Colicoids could once again compete with other weapons manufacturers such as Roche and the Givin Cartel.

History
According to the document, the Colicoids were to be allowed to begin creating droids again after a set amount of time. The Colicoids argued that since the document had expired they should be allowed to start again. They were represented by Lestra Oxic. The case fell through however, when Oxic's main witness (a Colicoid) was captured by a group working for Rej Taunt. Taunt had ordered the capture of the Colicoid witness as vengeance for an attack on his crew by Colicoids, during a mission to one of their nests in the early years of the Galactic Empire.
