Rothana Heavy Engineering

Rothana Heavy Engineering (RHE) is a subsidiary of the Galactic Republic's largest shipbuilding corporation, Kuat Drive Yards (KDY). Established during the final years of the Galactic Republic, Rothana Heavy Engineering is best known for its critical role in the development and manufacturing of military assets for the Grand Army of the Republic. Their facilities on the icy world of Rothana were key in producing technological advancements and were kept secret to maintain operational security.

During The Clone Wars, Rothana Heavy Engineering gained prominence for their work on several iconic vehicles and vessels. Notable among these creations were the Acclamator-class assault ships, which served as the backbone of the Republic Navy, and the All Terrain Tactical Enforcer (AT-TE), which provided crucial ground support. Their products played an instrumental role in the Republic’s efforts against the Separatist Alliance, showcasing the firm's engineering prowess and ability to produce large quantities of reliable war machines.

The company's close relationship with Kuat Drive Yards allowed it to benefit from extensive resources and expertise. This collaborative synergy enabled RHE to deliver innovations that elevated the Republic’s military capabilities. However, their affiliation with the military-industrial complex also meant that RHE, like its parent company, transitioned into serving the Galactic Empire after Emperor Palpatine's rise to power. Despite the regime change, the engineering and technological contributions of Rothana Heavy Engineering continued to influence the galaxy's military landscape.

Even in subsequent years, Rothana Heavy Engineering's legacy endures through the enduring popularity and utility of their designs among various factions. Their products are noted for robustness and functionality, characteristics that have allowed them to remain relevant even in a rapidly changing galaxy. Through dedication to innovation and quality, Rothana Heavy Engineering has cemented its place in Star Wars lore as a cornerstone of galactic engineering and wartime support.
