Its major starship production included the first, second and third Death Stars, as well as the prototype, the Eye of Palpatine, the Galaxy Gun, the HVs-2 hypervelocity gun that was designed and produced in cooperation with Taim & Bak, the orbital nightcloak, the Sun Crusher, the World Devastators, and the Worldcraft. Major droid products included HMOR homing droids, Human replica droids, Mark IV sentry droids, IT-O Interrogator droids, Shadow Droids, and the Phase I, Phase II and Phase III Dark trooper lines. Major weaponry designs included the Composite Beam Superlaser technology that they then developed into the Concave Dish Composite Beam Superlaser, the Interplanetary Ion Cannon, and the Resonance Torpedo Launcher.
