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 that their JumpShips were by far their most valuable asset. They switched their business model to interstellar travel and merged with another small mercantile enterprise to form the Gwendor-Dorwinion Cartel. The resulting cartel coordinates the operations of several JumpShips, most of which the cartel co-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. Gwendor-Dorwinion refurbished a maintenance slip for its JumpShip fleet at Mechdur and thus established a basic infrastructure for regular JumpShip traffic in the region.[1]
