Bakur Mining Corporation, established on Hemei IV, was responsible for the establishment of a Human colony on Bakura, roughly one hundred years prior to the Clone Wars. At first, this company held dominion over Bakura's governing body. Even up to the time of the Invasion of Bakura in 4 ABY, the nominal leader of Bakura's government was still descended from Deredith Arden, who captained the Bakur Mining colony ship.
Following Arden's death, the Corporation experienced a small dilemma because the number of inhabitants was increasing while the company's earnings were decreasing. The Corporation divided into several groups: one that advocated for diversification and increased immigration, another that desired to transform the planet into a vacation destination, and a third that aimed to explore additional mining locations. The last one, headed by the father of Yeorg and Dol Captison, ultimately prevailed.
A hyperlane leading to Bakura was created by the Bakur Corporation. The Bakur Memorial Building located in Salis D'aar served as the company's main office on Bakura. By the approximate time of 26 BBY, when Yeorg Captison was chosen to be a member of the Bakuran Senate, the company had seemingly dissolved or, at the very least, relinquished its control over the government.
