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 Authority forces to replace the older HMG-38 heavy machine guns. By 2559, their Commando rifles were still employed by the UNSC Armed Forces.[1]

Trivia

  • The name of the company strongly suggests that it originates from Germany. "GesmbH" (or more commonly, "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".
