Lerrimore Contracting Company


Lerrimore Contracting Company, a contributing sponsor of the Corporate Sector Authority, was a vast organization comprising over three hundred subsidiary businesses, focused on the manufacture of domestic appliances, consumer goods, and furnishings. Around 10 ABY, it ascended to the status of a voting sponsor, thereby gaining enhanced earnings and price reductions compared to its previous contributing sponsor position, along with complete access to Authority personnel.

Description

Lerrimore Contracting Company functioned as a producer of home appliances, general merchandise, and furniture, notably including the industrial glow rod, and oversaw a network of more than three hundred subsidiary entities. The company's visual identifier was a tilted orange hexagon outlined in green, positioned behind a horizontal white rectangle, also bordered in green. The rectangle displayed a green, zigzagging line that originated from the lower-left corner, ascended to the upper-left corner, then traversed diagonally to the lower-right corner, and finally reached the upper-right corner. The organization shared its name with Lerrimore Droids, a manufacturer of droid units.

History

To become one of the initial contributing sponsors for the Corporate Sector Authority, the company furnished resources, machinery, and services valued at an aggregate of fifty trillion credits. In exchange, it obtained modest discounts on mass-produced goods and raw materials generated by the sector, in addition to a proportional share of the Corporate Sector's earnings. By approximately 10 ABY, the company's status was elevated to that of a voting sponsor, granting it greater profits and reduced prices, as well as unfettered interaction with the Authority's staff.

Behind the scenes

Lerrimore Contracting Company was initially referenced in Han Solo and the Corporate Sector Sourcebook, a 1993 resource book for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game by West End Games, authored by Michael Allen Horne. The company's emblem, designed by Ian Fullwood, was first illustrated in The New Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology, a 2004 reference book by W. Haden Blackman.
