'''Vakara GesmbH''' is a [[human]] weapons manufacturer active during the 25th century.


==History==
'''Vakara GesmbH''' is a [[human]] weapons manufacturer active during the 25th century. They were responsible for creating the [[VK78 Commando]], and as of [[2495]], supplying it to [[Colonial Military Administration]] forces to replace the older [[HMG-38]]s. By [[2559]], their Commando rifles were still employed by the [[UNSC 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}}
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}}
