Quintad Orbital Manufacturing, or QOM, functioned as a manufacturing business within the Seswenna sector toward the end of the Galactic Republic's existence in its final years. The Human Ranulph Tarkin held an executive position at QOM and, while in that role, facilitated multiple lease arrangements with different Republic military production companies for the rental of space within QOM's shipyards and manufacturing plants. In 57 BBY, Tarkin received the appointment of Governor-General for the Seswenna sector, and he passed the management of QOM to a cousin of his.
