Borert Harbright

Count Borert Harbright was the owner of the conglomerate Salliche Agricultural Corporation, which owned eighteen planets in different systems, including Yulant, Broest and Ruan, being Ruan one of the headquarters of the corporation (There was another one on the planet Salliche).

Salliche Agricultural Corporation, or 'Salliche Ag', was initially an Imperial-controlled company. After the Battle of endor, the workers on many planets staged a rebellion destroying important assets of the company. To avoid further problems like that, Salliche Ag replaced a great amount of its staff with droids. It was then that Borert Harbright began to run Salliche Ag's daily operations. Probably not because of his merits, Borert named his cousin Dees Harbright senior vice president of marketing for Salliche Ag. It is believed that Borert was the Salliche Ag delegate representing Ruan in the Ne w Republic Senate.

After the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong, Salliche Ag feared that the invaders would overcome the New Republic and then destroy their planets, and their lives, because of their technological heresy. Thus, Salliche Ag decided to get rid of techno-workers and tools, hoping to get some preferential treatment from the Yuuzhan Vong (They also planned to offer the droids to the invaders as a sacrifice). Salliche Ag decided then to 'accept refugees' in exchange for their workforce. Harbright was glad to explain that this maneuver allowed them to claim "handpicked production".
