Veltzz Arakyd was a ruthless businessman who was willing to use any means necessary to eliminate competitors. He was known for tactics including bribery, bullying and intimidation to advance his company's interests.
Veltzz Arakyd's namesake company Arakyd Industries was first mentioned in the 1987 roleplaying game sourcebook The Star Wars Sourcebook, written by Bill Slavicsek and Curtis Smith. Arakyd was later identified as the company's founder in Del Rey's 2004 reference book The New Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology by W. Haden Blackman.
Although The New Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology stated that Veltzz Arakyd founded Arakyd Industries some nine thousand years before the Battle of Yavin, it also indicated that he lived during the Imperial and Post-Imperial eras. It's unclear whether this was an error or if other factors account for Arakyd's long lifespan.
