Bacta Cartel

The Bacta Cartel is a monopoly of the galaxy's two bacta-producing corporations, Zaltin and Xucphra. The cartel arose when these corporations were given an exclusive contract by the Galactic Empire to produce and distribute bacta. The cartel is largely responsible for inflating bacta prices throughout the galaxy. Both have their headquarters and manufacturing facilities on Thyferra. Humans control the companies, but Thyferran-native aliens known as Vratix produce the bacta.
