Corellian Engineering Corporation

The Corellian Engineering Corporation, commonly abbreviated CEC, is the Republic's largest manufacturer of starships. It is based on Corellia, and predates the Galactic Republic by several decades; CEC engineers are responsible for the earliest adaptation of Rakatan technology to develop the hyperspace cannon, and worked closely with Duros scientists to perfect the modern hyperdrive. CEC has long been one of Corellia's major claims to fame, and without them, the planet might easily have been simply relegated to the status of a simple colony of Coruscant.
