Corona Noir Ki Manufacturing, Ltd. is the manufacturing arm of the Corona Noir Ki Institute. They handled most of the customer service, marketing and promotions, and product design. They leverage the scientists from the CNK for most of the design work, especially when a customer needs something special.
After the first few years of the Institute trying to handle direct sales, Corona Noir Ki Manufacturing, Ltd. was created as a separate entity to handle that. The Institute hired the best marketing minds in the galaxy to sell their ship designs, and to their credit, sell they did. Most of the designs are confused, or overly specialized, but that didn't stop the marketing team from trying to convince the galaxy that you were no one if you didn't fly CNK.
CNK Manufacturing, like all of CNK, has a reputation for being harmless idiots more focused on making something cool than making something practical. CNK ships are well known to be some of the best money can buy... if you have them stripped down and rebuilt by a competent mechanic. CNK parts are some of the best around, and people will pay more than an intact ship is worth for the entire thing parted out.
