Duct Unlimited was a manufacturing company responsible for producing various starship support systems including life support systems, heat exchangers, radiation negators, and interior temperature regulation systems. Duct Unlimited possessed several subsidiaries that produced similar heating and cooling systems for the residential and industrial markets as well as life support systems for colonies with hostile environments.[1]
The company was one of the original contributing sponsors to the Corporate Sector Authority at the time of the Corporate Sector Charter, providing the equivalent of fifty trillion credits in equipment, funds, and services, and receiving a proportional share of Corporate Sector profits as well as nominal discounts on bulk goods and raw materials.[1] By around 10 ABY,[2] the company had been upgraded to a voting sponsor, receiving increased profits and discounts as well as unrestricted access to the employees of the Authority.[1]
Behind the scenes
Duct Unlimited was mentioned in Han Solo and the Corporate Sector Sourcebook, a 1991 sourcebook for West End Games' Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game written by Michael Allen Horne.[1]

- ↑ Interviews with Leia Organa Solo in Han Solo and the Corporate Sector Sourcebook note a recent interaction between her and Salla Zend on Nar Shaddaa. That interaction occurs in Star Wars: Dark Empire, which also depicts Organa Solo subsequently and directly traveling to the planets Byss and Mon Calamari. The New Essential Chronology dates those events to 10 ABY, and as such, the interviews and information in the sourcebook presented as "current" must occur following the events on Mon Calamari and thus around that year.
