Filoni Industries

Filoni Industries was founded in 845 BBY by Count Darmin Filoni of House Filoni, a noble house of Serenno. The company produced heavy machinery, such as mining and lumber equipment, and the profits gained from selling such products across the galaxy funded the noble house for hundreds of years to come. In 45 BBY, Marlow Filoni inherited leadership of House Venjuta when his father, Tro, died of natural causes. Among the many things that Marlow inherited was Filoni Industries.

Seeing that starship construction was a much more profitable venture, according to long-term business trends, Count Marlow was advised by hired consultants to restructure the company. After the count hired designers and engineers from other companies, such Corellian Engineering Corporation, Kuat Drive Yards, and Rendili StarDrive, the production of mining equipment and heavy machinery came to a halt and all resources became dedicated to starship construction.

A relatively minor player, Filoni Industries mainly produced small vehicles, such as shuttles and yachts. Count Marlow had grander designs, and he was able to turn those dreams into reality after the Clone Wars ended and the Galactic Republic reformed itself into the Galactic Empire. The Count began marketing luxury vessels to corrupt imperial officers and politicians. At least five Serenno-class Luxury Cruisers were commissioned, including The Felicity.
