Legend

this corporation, founded by Darman Lant during the last decades of the Old Republic, originated in the Inner Rim. After gaining enough financial resources, Lant and the LMC petitioned the Republic for the rights to develop Brak Sector. After being given permission, LMC developed more than sixty bases of operation in twenty-five star system. However, reports of poor living and working conditions - perpetuated by LMC's greedy management - forced the Republic to take back control of Brak Sector. Lant Mining Corporation floundered for many years after losing control of the sector. Shortly before the fall of the Republic, LMC righted itself after discovering a source of prismatic crystals in the Asran System. Then, the Empire took control of Brak Sector, LMC pledged its support for the Empire in order to remain as independent as it could. LMC continued to be the primary economic force in the Sector, and the financial fortunes of Brak Sector mirrored LMC's own fortunes.
