The Cantrell Conglomerate formed early in year 20, the brainchild of Artemis de Chatillon and Avelyn ca Vella. A collective of groups gathered under a board of executives which operate out of the Fath sector. With a strong presence in the trading community, Cantrell offers a large variety of wares for purchase which allows them to be an ever-growing presence within the galactic economy. Seeing considerable growth and expansion since the group's conception, Cantrell also provides a wide range of services to the general public including:
- Tavern Management
- Facility Management (Trade, Religious, Medical Sectors)
- Production
- Surgeries
- Transportation
- Prospecting
- Recycling
- Middling
- Brokering
The Cantrell Conglomerate also sponsors the popular auction company Fairwind Exotics Auctions, a department of the Gilded Rose Auction House, on the holonet (Discord) which hosts up to four to five auctions daily that run for over a day each. If you have any questions or comments, please send a message to Guildmistress Avelyn ca Vella.
Orbital Research and Design is the premier manufacturing company of the Fath Sector. As the main production arm of the Cantrell Conglomerate it was rumored to have been created by Artemis de Chatillon during a rather overzealous game of sabacc. Despite the dubious and unconfirmed background behind its establishment, ORD has gone from strength to strength growing from its humble beginnings as a shipwright into a diverse company providing ships, droids, items and weapons for public sale. All products made by ORD are based on generic designs widely available. However the service and opportunities in working with ORD makes it an unparalleled manufacturer in the galaxy today. ORD is currently overseen and managed by Angwyn Eyre who has expertly grown this company into what it is today: a true testament to Fath engineering. Contact us today to find out how we can assist you in realizing your goals.

Fairwind Exotics started as a simple salvage and resell operation ran by two Twi'lek brothers. They discovered that whenever the fabled Fairwind Gunship would land, its captain would dump loads of salvage and technology. The brothers made quick work of the refuse and in no time had a fairly decent gig. It wasn’t long before their operation got large enough to be noticed by certain Outer Rim personalities. The salvage operation was forcibly bought out and rebranded Fairwind Exotics and has since then been a leading trade venue for the strange and extravagant in the Outer Rim. Besides providing Market access at is various trade outlets, Fairwind Exotics also provides premiere soldiers and servants for any party interested along with rare creatures and exotic alcohols from all across the galaxy. We also provide a management service with only a slight fee. Please contact one of our representatives, typically found passed out drunk in your local cantina.
Red Lotus made its start in the underworld of Ord Cantrell, amongst a myriad of gangs vying for control over the lower echelons of the planetary society. With the influx of Kiffar refugees came the addition of Kiffar spiritualism and also various other imports from the Old Worlds. One of these imports was the red lotus flower, a native to the worlds of Kiffex and Kiffu. It traditionally was used in religious ceremonies for its mildly psychoactive features and regarded as a manifestation of perfection when one found balance within the flow of the universe. It would be brewed and consumed so one could commune with the Spirits, beings that were inherent in everything in the natural world. While the flower’s cultivation was protected at home, in the new Kiffar colonies on Ord Cantrell its use was quickly abused and used as a means of control. Various gangs tried to seize the market on the flower and its subsequent drug form called Red Spice. This concoction involved enhancing the natural plant’s properties with ryll and producing a compound that was more akin to a narcotic. The gangs that perfected this process eventually became one through a series of merges and hostile takeovers, ultimately resulting in the overarching moniker of Red Lotus. Eventually the organization grew large enough to gain the attention of certain affluent members of the planet’s elite. Through a series of purchases and tense negotiations the gang was seemingly bought out and their allegiance shifted from one of greed to that of Clan Chatillon. The various gangs that made up the cartel now swore allegiance to the Dominess and her Clan. Their heinous acts of violence seemed to diminish but the market on the lotus was sealed. Red Spice now began to appear in black markets across the Outer Rim as the gang's influence spread, not only to customers but also converts. Since the reformation of the gang, there has been a greater religious influence within many elements of the group. Rumors suggest this is to do with the new leadership and the boons provided to her by the Spirits.
Starting life as the primary security force of Ord Cantrell and the Cantrell Conglomerate, the Cantrell Defense Forces now takes their first step onto the wider galactic stage, by providing their services to organizations outside of the Fath Sector. Recognizing that security services alone wouldn't be required, the Conglomerate leadership saw an opportunity to expand into a more lucrative area of need, offering specialized MedEvac Operations, both in low risk and high risk areas, as well as the production and sales of medical supplies to organizations that needed them. Based within a revitalised city that had been left in disrepair due to former gang and anti Conglomerate cells on Ord Cantrell, a redevelopment process was able to be initiated and completed thanks to the backing of the planets Governor, and batches of needed medical supplies were being distributed to planetary hospitals and medical facilities without delay, solidifying CDF's position as the premier medical company within Fath's borders.
Fath Industries is a mining company closely tied to the Cantrell Conglomerate. The company provides economical mining and recycling services to a variety of clients, with it's base of operations being located in the Fath Sector. After the unexpected disappearance of beloved owner Cleo Kolasha, then-leader Mercedes Morgan stepped in, with the full backing of the Cantrell Conglomerate, and convinced the shareholders to cede full power and responsibility over to her. Thus, Fath Industries was reborn. Always ready to meet the ever changing demands of her galaxy.
