Theed Engineering was a company which built and outfitted starships during the early years of the Galactic Empire's reign. The company, which was named for the planet Naboo's capital city Theed, was one of many that contributed to the outfitting of the personal starship of Imperial Governor Wilhuff Tarkin, which he named the Carrion Spike. When the ship was stolen by a rebel cell, a Mon Calamari member of the cell named Artoz recognized Theed Engineering's role in the ship's creation, as well as the parts played by Sienar Fleet Systems and Cygnus Spaceworks.
