The business was formed as Zion Shipyards and Researching Inc, by Nicholas Phillios-Braeden under the authority of the Grand Sith Alliance. They were partnered with Kane's Engineering Yard and Zion Mining Corporation, working from the same HQ as the latter. They used the ore from Mustafar and Nal Hutta to produce their products. During the early days of the business, they were represented by the Baahl. At the time, MX Corp was a branch of Zion Inc. which was also based on Mustafar, and dealt with cloning.
