Czerka Arms / Legends Czerka Arms , also known as Czerka Weapons , formerly known as the Czerka Corporation , and founded as Czerka Mining and Industrial , was a galaxy - spanning during the reigns of the Galactic Republic , Sith Empire , Galactic Empire , New Republic , and Galactic Federation of Free Alliances . It controlled interests on Korriban , Kashyyyk , Tatooine , Telos IV and to a much lesser extent Trandosha , Taris and Dantooine along with countless other planets . The corporation exported many of their weapons to Justa Starport on Mutanda . History . During the time of the Jedi Civil War , Czerka , under the leadership of President Pollard Seario , allied itself with the Sith ; it supplied the contemporary Sith Empire armies and the Sith supplied exclusive trade rights on conquered planets . Because of this , and earlier behavior , Czerka gained a reputation as an unethical opportunist . Not all of Czerka ' s enterprises at this time were successful ; indeed , many became financial disasters . An example of this was its operation of and involvement in the Wookiee slave trade which , although illegal in the Republic , was made possible by legal loopholes concerning Kashyyyk ' s location . This lucrative market was ended when the visiting Revan , along with his Wookiee companion Zaalbar , helped instigate a revolt : the Wookiees then proceeded to drive the company from the planet . Czerka sought to conceal the setback through a public announcement that it was " scaling back " regional operations but was met with skepticism ; the deaths of so many personnel led to questions regarding their " reassignments " which Czerka refused to answer . Another failed Czerka enterprise at this time was the claim it laid to the planet Tatooine . Responding to enthusiastic surveys , a number of outposts , including the town of Anchorhead , were built and mining operations begun . To its subsequent dismay , Czerka become another in a long line of companies deceived by Tatooine ' s inferior , quickly corroding ore . Nevertheless , such an investment had been made that officials were unwilling to close it down and the sale of ore from Tatooine continued . Customers and investments declined , and marauding bands of natives also proved a source of trouble for the corporation . Revan became involved here as well when the administrator of Anchorhead hired him to butcher the local tribes of Sand People . The amnesiac Jedi , unknown to his employer , deftly avoided this by negotiating a reduction in attacks with the tribes ' chieftain . From the native dewback , company scientists also attempted to breed " war dewbacks " that were larger and more aggressive than their easily domesticated cousins . Although the scientists eventually succeeded , the project was written off as a failure when the test herd broke out of its enclosure and rampaged through the research facility . Eventually , however , Czerka did depart Tatooine , abandoning their sandcrawlers and their settlements . Other enterprises included a work colony at Dreshdae on the ancient Sith homeworld of Korriban . Czerka supplied freighters and supplies to the local Sith Academy in accordance with its Sith alliance . In the years after the war , Czerka sought to ingratiate itself with the victorious but shaken Republic through involvement in the reconstruction effort of Telos IV . The deal was this : Czerka supplied workers and investment in return for exclusive exploitation of Telosian resources , including rights to any abandoned war matériel . Success , it was hoped , would bring the company similar contracts on other reconstruction projects . Czerka , however , clashed with the Ithorians running the project and the Telosian branch , in alliance with the local Exchange , acquired control of several restoration zones — all of which soon were ruined . But if not for the intervention of the Jedi Exile Meetra Surik , Telos might well have followed . By the time of the Cold War , the proxy conflict between the Sith Empire and Galactic Republic , Czerka was noted to have diversified businesses ranging from consumer food products to military weapons . It owned multiple star systems , employed several billion individuals and had representation in the Republic Senate . It was also unique , being able to negotiate trade agreements with the Hutt Cartel and independent worlds , crossing political borders with impunity to generate staggering profits . Whatever one may have thought about Czerka Corporation ' s business practices , no one could afford to simply stop doing business with them . During this period , Czerka Corp was victim to several slicer attacks . The company ' s officials offered a reward to any other slicer who could help stop the security breaches . Czerka ' s Czerka Secret Weapons Division 7 in the Dune Sea of Tatooine also dug up a Rakata n Mind prison that contained the Imprisoned One , who used nanotechnology to turn all the employees into mindless drones . Some time after the next Republic defeat of the Sith , Czerka , perhaps wanting to disassociate itself from its past , changed its name to Czerka Arms . Czerka sold their products freely during the days of the Galactic Republic , for example selling Czerka Outland Rifles to the Kaleesh during their war with the Huk , but signed an exclusivity contract with the Galactic Empire when it rose to power . However , Czerka munitions made their way to aftermarket sales from warehouses , despite the official stance of the company . One example of this was the Czerka ZX miniature flame projector used by the bounty hunter Boba Fett . During the Galactic Civil War , Czerka was on the list of legitimate targets for Rebel privateer s . When the New Republic replaced the Galactic Empire , Czerka ended its contract with the Empire and offered its products once more to the galactic market , even going so far as to actively pursue production contracts with the New Republic . Czerka maintained its position as the third - largest weapons manufacturer in the galaxy , superseded only by BlasTech and Merr - Sonn . Czerka produced some energy weapons , but found a niche in the manufacture of non - blaster personal weapons and " non - standard " munitions , such as flame projectors , vibroblades , and slugthrowers . Reputation and ethics . Czerka , at least in its earlier days , was widely known as a successful , if unscrupulous , corporation . Illegal and unethical revenue - generating practices were tolerated , sometimes encouraged , by its sectoral officers so long as the flow of credits was uninterrupted and word did not leak out . Likewise , the politics of its customers were overlooked for the sake of lucrative markets . Also , as might be expected in such a corporation , rumors spread of profiteering ; particularly that Czerka officials had allowed starvation of colonists when their high prices were not met . This distaste did not , however , compromise Czerka ' s income . During the Old Republic Era , Czerka was a sponsor in the Hutt - run death game , Huttball , supplying many of the death traps used in the popular sport . One of Czerka ' s most foolhardy projects was the creation of the HK - 51 assassin droid , modelled after HK - 47 . A large shipment was purchased by the Sith Empire , but disappeared somewhere over Belsavis . Czerka also engaged in the illicit slave trade . During the Jedi Civil War , Wookiees from Kashyyyk , regarded as savage brutes because of their animalistic speech and appearance , were a prime source . Violent resistance by the Wookiees reinforced this belief . Nevertheless , negotiations with the usurper Chuundar led to a mutual aid agreement in which Czerka supplied him with weapons with which to enforce his rule and he supplied Czerka with slaves . As previously described , this agreement was ended when Revan aligned himself with Chuundar ' s deposed father Freyyr and encouraged a revolt . Chuundar was killed , and Czerka evicted . On Telos IV , Czerka ' s illicit actions came to light and caused repercussions for the whole corporation . Under the effective leadership of Jana Lorso , encroachments were made into the Ithorians within Chodo Habat ' s reconstruction team ' s sphere of influence . Alliance with the Exchange and deft exploitation of Telos ' own laws enabled Lorso to steadily marginalize the Ithorians . The arrival of Meetra Surik changed this . Befriending Chodo and his herd , she gathered information which exposed Czerka ' s activities . The Prosecution ' s case rested on the following evidence : In the end , Czerka was ordered to leave all Telosian holdings and to stand trial , and that it was fully removed by the time of the Battle of Telos IV . Behind the scenes . In " " and " " , although not the primary villain , Czerka is presented as an amoral entity ; not only are they allied with the Sith , but they frequently use underhanded means for their ends , such as stealing from rivals , acting on purely financial motivations , employing the use of violence and slavery , hiring mercenaries , smuggling weapons , etc . They will often ask the player to perform some jobs which would generally be considered " dirty . "
