- "Everything about Naruba Investments screams "Imperial Remnant". My guess is that it's a front for some hushed-up organisation. Albeit, it's an exceedingly profitable front. "
- ― New Republic Intelligence Service factfile on Naruba Investments
Naruba Investments is a subsidiary of the Dressian Kiolsh Merchant Bank, generating upwards of one billion Republic Credits in business since it's inception. The firm, which is based in both Estle City and the Financial District of Coruscant, carries out financing for capital ships for private military concerns, specifically the Tana Consortium, Dlarit Corporation and various others. It also trades in Aurodium and other materials on various stock markets. While the company is exceptionally profitable, it is, in reality, a front operation for Clan Arcona, and specifically, House Qel-Droma.
Staff & Mandate
The company's staff is made up almost entirely of Clan Arcona members. To that end, the Board of Directors is also the Summit of Clan Arcona. When formed, then-Quaestor of House Galeres Arcturus Xyler made it clear that the company's mandate was to launder funds and assets seized by Clan Arcona. The existence of Naruba Investments has been hidden from the rest of the Dark Brotherhood, the general consensus being it is simply too profitable to be shared with the rest of the Clans. It's uses are varied; primarily, it acts as a disguise for agents of Clan Arcona when on assigment in the Core Worlds as the company has offices on Coruscant. As such, when members of House Qel-Droma begin a mission, the staging point is almost always located within the Financial District of Coruscant, specifically, Naruba Investments' corporate headquarters.
Board Of Directors
Whilst Arcturus Xyler is the Chief Executive of the company, it's operations and directives come exclusively from the Clan Summit. However, the day-to-day management is ran by the Muun accountant, Eli Naruba.
Assets and Operating Budget
Naruba Investments focuses on maintaining the property portfolio of Clan Arcona, House Galeres and House Qel-Droma. During the Arcona Civil War of 23ABY, the company secured financing for the military efforts of Galeres-Qel-Droma Junta, led by Demosthenes and Arcturus Xyler. However, following the Giletta incident, management of Naruba Investments was wrested from Arcturus Xyler by Mejas Doto and Vassan Rokir. It was the decision of the Consul to liquidate sections of the company that were used against them, primarily heavy weapons manufacturing. Following this, Mejas Doto assumed the title of Chief Executive and hid the existence of the company from the entire Dark Brotherhood, including Clan Arcona. In 29ABY, Arcturus Xyler resumed his position as Chief Executive and ordered the recapitalisation of Naruba Investments by means of succsessful cooperation with Synergy Inc.. Today, both companies enjoy a healthy and profitable relationship - Synergy Inc. offers capital finance on it's products through Naruba Investments.
The company's operating budget is a closely-guarded secret, however, rumours within Clan Arcona place it somewhere close to one billion credits. Chief Financial Officer Eli Naruba posted profits to it's parent company, Dressian Kiolsh Merchant Bank, in excess of 950,000,000 credits for the fiscal year. It can be assumed that the missing credits were skimmed and utilised by Clan Arcona for day-to-day operations and running costs. The assets of Naruba Investments include the entire Arcona Fleet, the headquarters and buildings attached to House Qel-Droma, House Galeres and various personal ships owned by members of Clan Arcona. As a member of the Clan, all funds and properties are essentially owned by Naruba Investments, the company acting as a laundering service.
