| '''Vakara GesmbH''' is a [[human]] weapons manufacturer active during the 25th century. | |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| Vakara GesmbH were one of the largest military hardware contractors in [[Human colonies|human space]] for centuries throughout the [[Domus Diaspora|Colonial Era]], and served as one of the primary contractors for the [[Colonial Military Authority]]. In this role, Vakara provided a huge array of equipment ranging from tactical [[drone]]s to small arms to materiel used to construct [[Firebase|prefabricated bases]]. They continued to provide materiel to CMA forces throughout the [[Insurrection]] conflict, though suffered greatly due to the CMA's later downfall. This, combined with losses incurred during the [[Human-Covenant War]], saw Vakara near bankruptcy - only surviving due to a series of critical investments. As such, Vakara has been able to survive into the 26th century, with their VK78 tactical rifle having been updated for use by the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] in the [[Created conflict]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22p169|Enc22|Page=169}}

| ===Products===
| |
| Vakara were responsible for creating the [[VK78 Commando]], and as of [[2495]], supplying it to [[Colonial Military Authority]] forces to replace the older [[HMG-38 heavy machine gun]]s. By [[2559]], their Commando rifles were still employed by the [[United Nations Space Command]] armed forces.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFShowcase|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/showcase-sensitive|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Showcase Sensitive|D=16|M=6|Y=2021}} They also manufacture tactical [[drone]]s and prefabricated [[firebase]] components.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22p169}}

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The name of the company strongly suggests that it originates from [[Germany]]. "GesmbH" (or more commonly, "[[:Wikipedia:GmbH|GmbH]]") is an abbreviation for "Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung," which in German corporate law refers to a limited company, and translates to "company with limited liability."
| |
| *"Vakara" is a Latvian word meaning "Evening". In several Sanskrit languages, "Vakara" translates as "Honor" or "Dignity".
