Baktoid Combat Automata/Legends

Baktoid Combat Automata was the sister company of Baktoid Armor Workshop, both of which were owned by the Trade Federation. Although both companies shared similar origins and boards of directors, the two companies are otherwise totally dissimilar. While Baktoid Armor Workshop was a public company specializing in creating the vehicles and large weapons, Baktoid Combat Automata operated in secret, providing the Trade Federation with illegal droids and smaller blaster weapons for its droid army. Whereas Baktoid Armor Workshop was publicly (and dramatically) dissolved following the Trade Federation's failed blockade of Naboo, Baktoid Combat Automata continued to operate in the service of the Trade Federation and the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. Because it was a virtual unknown in the business world, the company managed to survive the end of that conflict, the subsequent rise and fall of the Galactic Empire and the emergence of the New Republic, although new designs came very rarely.
