TEAD Technologies was the corporate arm of Clan Taldryan. It acted as an umbrella conglomerate containing all of Taldryan's legitimate business interests.
History
TEAD—an acronym for Textiles, Electronics, Agriculture, and Development—was formed in the earliest days of Taldryan's move to the Kr'Tal System, following the Exodus. Since then, it has been a catch-all organisation for the Clan's legitimate business activities.
Like the rest of Taldryan, TEAD was left distressed and disarrayed by the destruction of the Kr'Tal System, and forced to move its operations to the Caelus System. After years of rebuilding, however, TEAD Technologies has once again become a notable force in the Taldryan establishment.
Starting in Zxyl Bes'uliik Taldrya's tenure as Regent of the Brotherhood, TEAD became an authorised reseller for many of Arx Capital Exchange's civilian products.
Notable Subsidiaries
Like many large corporate conglomerates, TEAD has historically dabbled in virtually every aspect of business, but their relocation to Caelus has forced them to downsize their operations. The corporation's most prominent subsidiaries are listed here.
Citadel Logistics
One of the Caelus-based TEAD's first successes, Citadel Logistics specialises in moving sensitive cargoes through dangerous areas of space. To do so, they rely on independent operators (both Taldryan members and other smugglers for hire), and can arrange partnerships with groups like the Vornskr Battalion when armed escort services are required. The frequency of pirate activity on the far end of the Corellian Trade Spine makes Citadel Logistics a popular choice for small companies without the resources to handle their own shipping.
Gamco Extraction Services oversaw harvesting and refining of clouzon-36 from the gas giant Perune. Its position in the Caelus System waxed and waned according to Taldryan's relationship with the Caelus government. Closer ties between Taldryan and the Senate gave Gamco a monopoly, forcing smaller outfits to subcontract with them, while conflicts between Taldryan and the Senate meant a sharp rise in independent mining licenses.
Gamco also oversaw planetary resource harvesting in Taldryan-controlled territories.
InHuman Designs
InHuman Designs is a boutique clothing producer, specialising in garments tailored to fit bipedal species with non-near-Human body shapes. Their products are slowly gaining popularity among non-near-Human species in Brotherhood space for the inclusion of ear and tail holes.
Scios Group
With the growing prominence of Kasiyan agri-food exports across Brotherhood space, Emissary and former Consul Seraine "Erinyes" Taldrya Ténama collected TEAD's food and beverage subsidiaries into a single corporate entity.
