  • Tapos Securities was a major corporation founded in 21,633 BBY. From the time of its founding, Tapos contributed funds to the manufacturing and launching of space probes to explore the galaxy beyond the Inner Rim. The venture took two thousand years to pay off, but as the Great Manifest Period and the colonization of the Expansion Region began, Tapos was able to lay sole claim to a number of worlds. Ironically, one of the earliest planets discovered by the Tapos-sponsored probe, a world called Holt, was what ultimately led to the company’s downfall. Tapos was one of five companies with a legitimate claim to Holt, and the case was submitted to the courts in 19,081 BBY. In 19,069 BBY, Tapos’ claim was determined to be the strongest and they were officially granted rights to the world. However, by that point all five companies had settled on a section of the planet, as had a group of exiles from Arzend. Each group then attempted to eject all of the others by force, creating a war that would last for over two centuries. From the beginning, Tapos demanded that the government enforce its ruling on Holt, but they never received enough soldiers to make a difference on the war-torn planet. In 19,065 BBY, the government sent three Jedi to the planet. They first attempted to end the war through a series of negotiations, an approach that Tapos was against. It was believed by some in the Republic that Tapos worked with the other companies, who were also afraid of being left with only their small portion of the planet, to kidnap and brutally murder the three Jedi. When the evidence pointed to Tapos, the Jedi Order publicly denounced Tapos Securities and declared that they would have nothing to do with Holt in the future so long as it remained under corporate control. Tapos was publicly humiliated because of this, and the public responded negatively to the company. Investors began selling their shares of the company and Tapos was forced to sell most of their territory on other worlds in order to save themselves. However, the troubles on Holt prevented it from being sold. Because of this, Tapos Securities officially filed for bankruptcy in 19,011 BBY.
