Baktoid Industries was originally established as a holding company, controlling the droid manufacturers of the Trade Federation, the Techno Union, and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. After the Clone Wars, the Separatist droid army was disbanded, and it's droid foundries either destroyed or decommissioned. While Baktoid Industries' production subsidiaries were dismantled, the corporation itself remained in existence in a vastly downsized capacity, primarily as a license-holder for patents and designs for Baktoid products still in use with certain planetary militias and organisations.
Eventually, Baktoid Industries was acquired by the Geonosian Kalibac, and was incorporated into Kalibac Industries as the Baktoid Industrial Systems subsidiary. When Kalibac Industries merged with the Rath Cartel, many of Baktoid's discontinued designs - particularly it's speeders and vehicles - were adopted by Kalibac Industries' new sister-corporation, Ubrikkian Industries. The former R&D subsidiary of Baktoid Combat Automata, Cestus Cybernetics, is now jointly operated by Kalibac Industries and Ubrikkian Steamworks, providing research and development support for the entirety of the Rath Cartel.
Hierarchy
Baktoid Armor Workshop
The company responsible for the manufacture of weapons, vehicles, and heavy ordnance droids on behalf of the Trade Federation and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. While their spider droids and other droid-operated weapons platforms cannot be legally manufactured due to Imperial trade sanctions, certain droidless products - such as the E-5 Blaster Rifle and Armored Assault Tank - are currently being produced under licence by Ubrikkian Industries and Czerka Arms.
Baktoid Combat Automata
The principle component of Baktoid Industries, responsible for the production of Trade Federation and Techo Union battle droids. Research and development was performed by Cestus Cybernetics, and many designs were developed collaboratively with the Colicoid Creation Nest. Most Baktoid Combat Automata designs are no longer legal for manufacture, but some - including the Buzz Droid and LM-432 Crab Droid - are produced in limited numbers by Ubrikkian Steamworks and Cestus Cybernetics.
Baktoid Fleet Ordnance
A subdivision of Baktoid Combat Automata, responsible for producing droid-controlled weapons platforms and starship systems for the Techno Union and Trade Federation. Most of it's products have been outlawed since the Clone Wars.
