The Incom Corporation, formerly known as Torranix Inertial Compensator Corporation, and also referred to as Incom Industries, or more commonly Incom for short, was a Fresia-based corporation known for designing and manufacturing robust, progressively-minded starfighters, airspeeders, and transports. They were renowned for their production of the T-65 X-wing starfighter | T-65 X-WingStarshipStarfighter Models |
, which became their logo and, most famously, a key tool and symbol of the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War.Originally, Incom focused on the design and manufacturing of high-performance repulsorlift platforms. The most notable product of this was the construction of Bespin | BespinPlanet |

, circa 400 BBY. It later switched to specialization in atmospheric and space fighter-craft in 147 BBY, beginning a collaboration with Subpro Corporation | SubproOrganizationManufacturers |
that would last for over a century. Some time prior to 32 BBY, Incom also created some hull designs, including the T-06 hull for various starships. During the waning days of the Republic, Incom and Subpro produced several collaborative designs, including the popular Z-95 Headhunter | Z-95 HeadhunterStarshipStarfighter Models |
line. In 22 BBY, though, HoloNet News reported that the relationship between the two companies was dissolved. Based on design that were already made when still working with Subpro, Incom produced the Aggressive ReConnaissance-170 starfighter | ARC-170 StarfighterStarshipStarfighter Models |
during the Clone Wars. When the staunchly independent company was nationalized by the Galactic Empire around late 1 BBY, much of its design and engineering staff defected. They made four prototypes of a new breed of starfighter available to the Rebel Alliance, and took a course of action to bring the blueprints and production know-how to Alliance facilities. In reaction, Imperial officials rounded up the Incom engineers and scientists, and expeditiously sentenced them to labor in the spice mines of Kessel | KesselPlanet |
. However, they were spared their fate when a Rebel task force led by Captain Raymus Antilles | Raymus Antilles(Human)CharacterSupporting Characters |
intercepted their transports and brought them into the Alliance's fold. Two months after the Battle of Yavin | Battle of YavinEventGalactic Civil War |
, Incom was able to donate prototype X-wings to the fledgling Rebel Alliance which were stored in isolation.Read more... |
