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 battered 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.
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.
Kasiya Estates
Founded in 39 ABY as a pet project of former Consul Seraine "Erinyes" Taldrya Ténama, Kasiya Estates Distillers and Vintners was one of TEAD's main agri-food companies. It produced a wide variety of alcoholic beverages, primarily small-batch wines and hard liquors. Their Signature Line included drinks that commemorated notable figures in Taldryan history. Kasiya Estates' headquarters was in the Mytilene region of Kasiya, Taldryan's capital moon.
Some of the products offered by Kasiya Estates included:
- Aquamarine Shimmer, a Toniray-style sparkling wine (paying homage to Supreme Chancellor Cassandra Oriana Tyris)
- Consul's Choice tsiraki (paying homage to Consul Seraine "Erinyes" Taldrya Ténama)
- Dragostae, a Zeltron spear-grain whiskey
- Kasiyan spiceberry liqueur (described as similar to Socorran raava made from zsajhira berries, but with slightly spicier notes)
- Katarn black ruby malbec (paying homage to Kir Katarn, used to create the cocktail of the same name)
- Lacrima Diamond, Emerald and Ruby wines
- Mando'ade, a carbonated citrus energy drink fortified with tihaar (paying homage to Consul/Supreme Chancellor Appius Taldrya Wight)
Mecetti Farms
Mecetti Farms is Taldryan's second main agri-food corporation, together with Kasiya Estates. Likewise located in the Mytilene region of Kasiya, Mecetti Farms produces high-quality meat and dairy products from free-range livestock. They offer a wide variety of bantha and nerf cuts, milk, cheese, frozen dairy desserts, and whey-based protein supplements.
Some of the products offered by Mecetti Farms included:
- Aged hard cheeses (future offering)
- Soft cheeses, including varieties with fruit and/or nuts
- Free-range, grass-fed bantha and nerf in a wide variety of cuts
- Frozen dairy desserts made from bantha and/or nerf milk
- This Is The Whey protein supplement bars and powdered mixes (in homage to Consul/Supreme Chancellor Appius Taldrya Wight)
