One of the oldest subsidiaries of Ubrikkian Industries, Ubrikkian Steamworks was created to allow the company to branch out from repulsorcraft into robotics. During the old Republic the Steamworks produced everything from astromechs to war droids, but in recent years they have consolidated their designs to some extent, focusing more on utility. Droids such the DD-13 Medical Assistant and DD-19 Overseer have attempted to produce a broad and versatile range of designs based on the same basic droid chassis.

Ubrikkian Steamworks was acquired by the Ouishii Kajidic along with the rest of Ubrikkian Industries, shortly after the Alliance-Imperial Treaty. The Kajidic adopted the Steamworks as their primary droid manufacturer, merging existing holdings like LesTech and Rodian D-Tec into it's infrastructure; research and development elements like Rossum Droidworks and Cestus Cybernetics meanwhile were made part of Kalibac Industries, which became the Steamworks' R&D division. In addition to the Steamworks' existing portfolio, the company now also refurbishes old Separatist battle droids, and has a limited licence to produce non-combat droids designed by Baktoid Industries.

Like the rest of Ubrikkian Industries, the Steamworks primarily targets private and small-scale customers in the Outer Rim Territories, providing budget droids. It currently makes use of the Kalibac Industries offices in The Hive on Procopia as it's corporate headquarters; uses the old Cestus Cybernetics headquarters in Clandes on Ord Cestus as the location for it's research and development facilities; and has a regional office at the Stark Compound on Etti IV in the Corporate Sector. The Steamworks has access to production facilities on Ord Cestus, Ubrikkia, Rodia, Hypori, and Geonosis.
