Overview
Originally founded as Gwendor Inc., the then-Magistracy of Canopus company specialized in the shipment of exquisite wines and other luxury goods. As the technological decline of the Third Succession War dragged on, the company increasingly found their JumpShips were by far their most valuable asset, switching its business model to interstellar travel and merging with another small mercantile enterprise to form the Gwendor-Dorwinion Cartel. The resulting company coordinates the operations of several JumpShips, most of which the Cartel c-owns.
When the Aurigan Trade Partnership was founded in 2870, the vessels of the Gwendor-Dorwinion Cartel formed its backbone, revitalizing trade in the Reach when the company refurbished a maintenance slip for its JumpShip fleet at Mechdur and establishing a basic infrastructure for regular JumpShip traffic in the region.[1]
