Bendine was a company that specialized in the creation of starships, notably the capsule-shaped XR12 spacecraft. This corporation operated during the era of the Galactic Republic, and one example of their XR12 model, known as the Satellite Liberator, eventually found its way into the possession of Watto, a Toydarian junk dealer, residing in the Mos Espa settlement on the planet Tatooine.
