| - The engine division can trace its roots back to the original Incom-SubPro partnership, and the production of the successful Incom fission and fusial thrust engines. Where Incom focused on smaller, high-performance powerplants for small craft, SubPro would dabble in larger, high-capacity engines for larger vessels, such as liners and heavy freighters. When the two companies parted ways in 22 BBY, SubPro found itself in foreign territory, with little prospect of forward-thinking design and development. They continued to build their lineup of starcraft, and things progressed slowly.

| - The engine division can trace its roots back to the original Incom-SubPro partnership, and the production of the successful Incom fission and fusial thrust engines. Where Incom focused on smaller, high-performance powerplants for small craft, SubPro would dabble in larger, high-capacity engines for larger vessels, such as liners and heavy freighters. When the two companies parted ways in 22 BBY, SubPro found itself in foreign territory, with little prospect of forward-thinking design and development. They continued to build their lineup of starcraft, and things progressed slowly. Noteworthy powerplants for the Ushton-class heavy freighter and the Lightning-class sloop were developed during the twenty years of mediocrity. The Ushton's engines demonstrated that SubPro could continue producing robust units, while the Ligtning's powerplants propelled the sloop to exceptional sublight speeds. Engines for the Z-series fighter craft were acquired from Incom on an assembly-line level, but no real development was done on them. Then, a severe blow was dealt to SubPro's prospects when Incom was liquidated by the Empire in 1 BBY, thereby cutting off SubPro's supply of smaller-scale engines and components. It also unsettled SubPro's management that they might be the next to feel the weight of Imperial reprisal. Outlook brightened considerably when SubPro came to Caspar in 0 BBY. The company found an eager, technically proficient society hungry for work and for products. They settled in, and built a fabrication yard and factory on the southwest flank of the city limits, at the very foothills of the Vira Bluffs. They contributed to Union Starport's upkeep during the Renaissance of Innovation, and helped modernize an orbital platform that would later be expanded into Victoria Drydocks. (more coming)
