Ultimate Construction Designer Company

     Formerly known as the Ultimate Tactical Droid Designer Company (UTDDC), this company was founded in 263 ABY (the year after the Flare Empire was formed and, the year that the Besalisk Empire was destroyed by the Flare Empire) as a secret unit within Republic Military Army A. From its creation until 527 ABY under its revised name the Ultimate Construction Designer Company (UCDC), it was led by Captain Algobull Narnuia. The company was created by Commander Glax Nawder in 263 ABY with one mission in mind; to construct in secret the ultimate tactical droid. This droid was to be so tactically advanced it would not fail to revise and succeed at tactics even if being heavily outmatched. It was far superior to the old Super Tactical Droid of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The company worked in the Force insensible underground rooms of the Republic Soldier Barracks on Coruscant. They did not depart form their secret barracks until the Ultimate Tactical Design Project was completed in 525 ABY.
     In 525 ABY, Narnuia and his company finally completed their near-impossible assignment. Narnuia then quickly proceeded to debut some vehicles that his company had designed which led to the company being renamed the Ultimate Construction Designer Company two years later. The Ultimate Tactical Droid was test-runned during the Battle of Jedha (526 ABY), and really started to become a primary droid used by the Republic a year later. After the Ultimate Tactical Droid project was completed, Narnuia and later, his successor Shanik Ramse, worked exclusively on designing new Republic vehicles to replace the old outdated ones the Republic had been using for centuries, with minimal updates. One of the most notable of these new vehicles being the replacement of the Venator Class Star Destroyer (in existence since the Clone Wars) with the brand new, state of the art Venatrix Star Destroyer.
     Once the UCDC made their way into the latter part of the designing of a new vehicle, they would contact the manufacturing plant overseers on Kuat, and bring them in for inspection. If the vehicle was accepted, the Kuat Drive Yards builder would bring back the blueprints to Kuat for manufacturing the new vehicle.
     The UCDC was accredited for designing most of the Republic's new vehicles that were introduced from 526 ABY - 528 ABY. One of these was the 717L Swoop Speeder. This new speeder (which was introduced during the Battle of Coruscant) was given its name since it could travel at a lightening quick speed of 717 kph. The 717L Swoop was the replacement of the old and long outdated BARC Speeder that the ARC Troopers had been using since the Clone Wars. In other words the speeder was in use from 22 BBY until 528 ABY.
     In terms of the members of the UCDC, about 4/5 of the company (~160 troopers) were not clones of Nawder. This allowed for a great variety of ideas that really helped quicken the pace of projects, especially of new vehicles. Also, their armor was made completely of durasteel, (this means that they got the same expensive armor as the colonels and generals of the Republic Military Armies).
