The Rath Cartel was created after the death of Tyber Zaan, when the remains of the Zann Consortium were subsumed into the corporate empire of by Rath Ouishii Dae. It now exists as a corporate and criminal organization engaging in both legitimate and illegal business within the Galactic Empire, the Alliance of Free Planets, and the currently independent sectors of the galaxy.
Ambassador Wrath has acquired a number of prominent corporations over the years, including Ghtroc Industries and Czerka Arms. Following the Treaty between the Alliance and Empire, Wrath was able to acquire Ubrikkian Industries - a former subsidiary of Kuat Drive Yards now located on the opposite side of Alliance space to Kuat.
History
Rath Ouishii Dae began his business career with the acquisition of Ghtroc Industries, a fairly small and obscure shipwrights founded by the Shell Hutts of Circumtore. As his wealth grew - through a mix of business ingenuity and criminal activity - he began to expand, first acquiring other ship manufacturers before branching out into droids, weapons, and other industries. Many of his acquisitions - such as the Rossum Droidworks - were failing companies owned by the recently deceased, or purchased from foreclosure auctions, that he was able to resuscitate into profitable businesses in cooperation and combination with his existing enterprises.
For much of his life, Rath was something of an outcast from the Ouishii Kajidic - his Hutt family - and so began to work with criminal groups outside Hutt Space. He formed an underworld alliance with Tyber Zann, partially due to their shared animosity towards Jabba the Hutt. When Zann and many of his followers were killed around the time of the Battle of Endor, Rath was able to seize control of the Zann Consortium, and subsumed into his enterprise, eventually referring to it as the Rath Cartel - a reference to a criminal empire from the time of the Great Galactic War.
After the Alliance-Imperial Treaty of 10 ABY, Ambassador Wrath managed to acquire two former subsidiaries of Kuat Drive Yards: the Outer Rim centric Ubrikkian Industries, and the Clone Wars era military contractor Rothana Heavy Engineering. Merging the latter into Czerka Arms as his "weapons division", he rearranged the rest of his corporations to become subsidiaries of Ubrikkian Industries, making that his primary corporate endeavour.
Hierarchy
Though Ambassador Wrath is addicted to control, he also has an acute understanding of the importance of delegation, and surrounds himself with a number of trusted Lieutenants who manage the various aspects and holdings of his corporate and criminal empire. The Besalisk Avar Adamas is his chief enforcer, while the Toydarian Tavi manages Wrath's personal finances and investments. Wrath also understands that most species are reluctant to have financial dealings with the Hutts - even if they are legitimate - and so employs individuals like Skylar Trezen and Victor Montegue to serve as more amiably-faced CEOs for his businesses.
Ubrikkian Industries
A corporation more than four millennia old, Ubrikkian Industries most recently existed as a subsidiary of Kuat Drive Yards, primarily catering to customers in the Outer Rim - particularly the Hutts. After the Alliance-Imperial Treaty of 10 ABY redrew several galactic borders, Kuat was entirely separated from that customer base and from Ubrikkian Industries' production facilities in the Outer Rim. Ambassador Wrath purchased the corporation, and adapted it into the new cornerstone of his business empire. Ubrikkian Industries is run on Rath's behalf by Skylar Trezen, a former KDY employee.
Ubrikkian Industries consists of two main subsidiaries:
- Ubrikkian Transports, which produces starships and repulsorcraft. It's corporate headquarters is on Tatooine, with subordinate facilities on Circumtore, Duro, Hypori, and Narg. Several smaller shipwrights and manufacturers purchased by the Rath Cartel have been incorporated into Ubrikkian Transports: including Ghtroc Industries, TransGalMeg Industries, the Pri-Andylan Shipyards, Starfeld Industries, the Huppla Pasa Tisc Shipwrights Collective, and Uushlos Manufacturing.
- Ubrikkian Steamworks, which develops droids and automated machinery. It's corporate headquarters is on Procopia, with subordinate facilities on Ord Cestus, Etti IV, Hypori, and Rodia. Several smaller droid manufacturers have been purchased by the Rath Cartel and incorporated into the Steamworks: including PackTrack, Rodian D-Tec, Rossum Droidworks, and Cestus Cybernetics.
Czerka Arms
Another ancient institution, the Czerka Corporation fell on hard times over the last few millennia, falling from an industry-spanning corporation to a mere weapons manufacturer, Czerka Arms. The Rath Cartel has bolstered the corporation through the acquisition and incorporation of subsidiaries - including the Drever Corporation, Dymek Corporation, Prax Arms, Kalibac Industries, Kelvarex Consolidated Arms, and Palandrix Personal Protection Gear - turning Czerka Arms into one of the industry's leading producers of exotic and unorthodox weapons (slughthrowers, electronic discharge weapons, bounty hunter ordnance, and the like). Czerka Arms also produces weapons systems for Ubrikkian Transports vehicles. The recent acquisition of Rothana Heavy Engineering has led Czerka Arms to pursue possible military contracts with the army of the Alliance of Free Planets. Czerka Arms is run on Rath's behalf by Victor Montegue, a former Imperial Sector Ranger.
There are a number of key centres for Czerka Arms manufacture:
- Rodia - home to Malaxan Firepower Incorporated, N'Gant-Zarvel, and the Salus Corporation.
- Hypori - a reclaimed Geonosian droid/weapons factory, run by Kalibac Industries and the Gordarl Weaponsmiths.
- Rothana - headquarters of Rothana Heavy Engineering, producers of Clone Wars era walkers and speeders.
The Defilers
Formerly the agents and enforcers of the Zann Consortium, the Defilers were one of the few remnants of the Consortium that Ambassador Wrath managed to secure control of. Rath uses his Defilers much less aggressively, seeing them as more of a personal guard, private security force, and as enforcers - particularly when clients are tardy repaying their debts. Many of Rath's holdings and corporations will have members of the Defiler's on staff, managing security and keeping watch over his holdings. Currently, Wrath's chosen leader of the Defilers is Avar Adamas, a former Separatist Colonel.
