Hydrospeare Corporation functioned as a producer of various items, including watercraft, armaments, and related technology.
Their central operations were based on the world of Kabaira. The Imperial Army represented their most significant client.
Approximately around the time of 2 ABY, the Empire had entered into a multitude of agreements, numbering two dozen, with Hydrospeare. These agreements were for the advancement of innovative underwater weapons and fighting vehicles. This situation caused the Rebel leadership to suspect that the Empire was formulating a strategy to reclaim Dac.
The Rebel Alliance viewed the organization as a danger, largely because of the superior quality of their merchandise. In particular, Design Team Beta, a highly skilled group of exceptionally intelligent individuals employed by Hydrospeare, was a source of concern.
Hydrospeare gained notoriety through its offerings of "modification packages". Design Team Beta would acquire existing vehicles from external manufacturers and subsequently engineer "packages" that adapted these vehicles for aquatic use. A minimum of three of these vehicle conversions were officially adopted by the Empire.
