Gwori Revolutionary Industries was a ship manufacturer based on the Outer Rim planet, Gwori. During the Clone Wars, the company aligned itself with the Confederacy of Independent Systems and constructed starships for use against the Grand Army of the Galactic Republic.
History
Based on the planet Gwori, Revolutionary Industries had a long standing relationship with the Muuns of the InterGalactic Banking Clan and profited greatly from an alliance with Hoersch-Kessel Drive, Inc.. Constructing massive shipyards as revenue flowed, Revolutionary Industries prospered during the Separatist Crisis which plagued the Galactic Republic as Banking Clan Chairman San Hill commissioned the construction of several Munificent-class star frigates.[1]
When the Clone Wars erupted between the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Revolutionary Industries continued to produce for the Banking Clan, providing the Confederate Navy with communications frigates to use against the Grand Army of the Republic. During the early stages of the war, the largest shipyards of the Confederacy were owned by Gwori and produced the most ships for the Navy. In 21 BBY, the Gwori shipyards were managed by Overseer Juhm when a Republic spy infiltrated the compound and leaked vital information to the Republic. Launching an assault on the planet, Overseer Juhm was helpless to stop an attack group led by Jedi Masters Plo Koon and Saesee Tiin and watched in horror as the shipyards were destroyed.[2]
