A newbie needs some assistance exploring the lore.

Greetings,

I grow interested in Mandalmotors, so if anyone would provide me with a brief history about or direct me to some links which hold for me the explanation needed then I would be grateful.

Thanks very much in advance and much obliged.

Oh. MandalMotors. I saw Mandal and I got all happy. Now I'm sad. Now I'm ambivalent. You made me run the gamut.

 

[Lupaster]

Well, I apologize about that. And thanks for your contribution. But I didn't find the info I want in it.

 

[Sisk_Renelo]

Well, MandalMotors is, as of now, the premier shipbuilder in the galaxy. They produce pretty much all of the Imperial fleet, and are now based off of Kaut, after pretty much turning traitor and leaving the Mandalorians to fend for themselves. They're a millennia old company, and produce some of the hardiest designs in the galaxy. And that's what I have on MandalMotors.

 

[Lupaster]

I do thank you, Sir. For the information.

My question there is, lies. Did Mandalmotor manufacture the Chiss fleet? Or did the Chiss build their own military force? Because I happen to remember that the Chiss were indebted too much raising armies and used Mandalmotor as a contractor.

Its explained in the Story timeline. The money used to raise up their military strength came from loans from the Hutt Cartel, whilst their focus on military acquisitions ended up tanking the rest of the Chiss economy. Without any money to pay off their debts, the Chiss government defaulted and the Hutts seized much of their fleet as compensation.

Yes, MandalMotors built the majority of the Chiss Fleet.

If memory serves me correct, the Chiss built most their own weaponry, ships, etc, but were being loaned money from the Hutt Cartels. They were very focused on stockpiling for War, but with the Empire and Mando's winning the war without the help of the Chiss, the Empire basically left the Chiss to wither and die to become the dominant force in the Galaxy. With the end of the War, and no real way to now pay back their outstanding loans, and other poor money management contributed by the Chiss hierarchy, they became bankrupted and the Hutts basically repo'd their stuff. After, most of the technology repo'd from the Chiss was lost or heavily damaged on the way to try and take over Bothan Space, which basically came to a stalemate, and the Hutts focused on to other ways of manipulating the Galaxy instead of the espionage kings that are the Bothans. That's the explanation from my understanding at least, I'm sure maybe one of the Admins will know a bit more on the specifics and whatnot.

As far as more information, you could go here, basically all you need to know for a brief summary, and if you want faction specific information then head over to their section of the forum and you'll probably find some more up-to-date information on each faction.

 

[Sisk_Renelo]

I'm pretty sure they contracted the majority out. I think that's why pretty much every Mando ship in the catalog had the option for megamasers (stupid name, by the way), for the Chiss buys. The Chiss catalog was basically armor and weapons.

 

[Lupaster]

I see. Actually, the Chiss making their own weapons would be more logical since they did that all over the millenniums. I find Insoulent's explanation more rational for my taste and the star wars lore.

And thank you all for sharing your thoughts.

Here's the official statement, as I talked to Vencu, the head of MandalMotors and former Mandalore.

MandalMotors is still alive and thriving, sellingto the civilian market and being the biggest contractor to the Imperium. They have nothing to do with Mandalorians anymore, thanks to the recent Mandalorian Civil War. Most of the old Chiss Navy, and alot of the new Imperial Navy was built by MandalMotors. You need anything MandalMotors, feel free to contact me.

Vencu gave me the reigns when he resigned.

 

[Lupaster]

Oh, thanks a lot for info :)

Understood, once I want to built a ship of my own. By then, we will have a chit-chat.
