TREX Industries

TREX Industries was a small arms manufacturer with corporate offices 
and manufacturing plants on Corellia, and a 
research and development facility on Endor, where they also tested 
prototypes. The companies primary focus was on highly specialized 
firearms such as niche hunting rifles, and unique pistols. TREX employed 
the latest in cutting edge technology and rigorous quality controls that 
resulted in unmatched quality and customization. This attention to detail 
and craftsmanship garnered them an elite clientele consisting of
collectors, politicians, and galactic big game hunters. 
With no production line and no political affiliation, TREX was initially
wholly uninterested in mass produced or combat weapons. However, by 
around 6 BBY as war raged in the galaxy, demand for expensive custom
weapons was waning and the pressure to delve into defense contract work 
was mounting. With a glut of arms manufacturers vying for contracts and
flooding the market with standard weapons, TREX decided to put their 
efforts towards perfecting a weapons platform that other manufacturers
were struggling to get right. The Z-6 Rotary Blaster Cannon was a formidable 
weapon but the weight made it cumbersome even for some battle droids, and
the reload time was too long to make it viable for most squads. Using a
proprietary technique and some newly developed tech, TREX believed they 
could significantly reduce the load times and size, and so began work
on what the engineers affectionately referred to as the SKZ-6 or, Sub
Kompact Z-6. 
The facility on Endor was a small compound consisting of just a few labs,
2 large warehouses, and basic crew quarters. However, because of its
remote location in the outer rim, it was deemed the perfect location to
conduct all work on the new prototype and underwent a substantial 
expansion. After years of trial and refinement, the weapon system they
had created was no longer a Z-6 clone, but a unique and potentially game
changing weapons platform. The first and only known fully operational
prototype completed testing at the end of 2 BBY and was dubbed the 
Squad Automatic Rotary Rail Gun, or SARRG, but kept the designation SKZ-6.
Shortly after that, at the beginning of 1 BBY, all communication from 
The Facility ceased and teams sent to investigate found it empty. The
research data, hardware, prototypes, and staff had vanished without a trace.
