Kuat Drive Yards (as Techno Union)
The Techno Union then shifted its focus once more, this time to work in constructing military ships. The redesigned Techno Union left all civil operations to Starsign Shipyards, was reduced to a skeleton crew, left its Valrar home. and relocated to help build a secret base for military ship production.
When the production base was finally completed, the ship production aspect started slowly. The size of the workforce and the availability of raw materials could not match the demands of the Trade Federation and the CIS. Having endured enough difficulty, Fel resigned his post as president.
On Y09 D324, Olwin Froon, a veteran shipwright who was Starsign Shipyards's COO and Production Director, took over what was left of the Techno Union. His primary goal was to reform the logistics aspect of the Techno Union; to aid him, his friend Vas Felix, Starsign's former Logistics Director, joined him at the Techno Union.

After a period of prolonged success, the Techno Union ran into a shortage of members so severe that it was forced to take members from the Trade Federation's Ministry of Defense.

As he was collecting it, one of the vaporators exploded wounding him, and nearly killing him on the spot. Ted was rushed to the hospital and doesn't really remember the next few years due to that. Then on Year 9 Day 93, his parents were ruthlessly murdered by an as-of-yet unknown bounty hunter.

He started looking for a full-time job instead of just walking around doing odd chores. He was turned down in most every job due to many different reasons.
