Corporate Sector The Corporate Sector or 'CorpSec' is located at the front end of the Tingel Arm. It was the territory of the Corporate Sector Authority, or CSA, before the Galactic Empire annexed the Region on Year 10 Day 72 of the New Order, and dissolved the government, an event known in CorpSec as 'the Nationalization'. The Sector is located in the Outer Rim Territories. The Hydian Way connects CorpSec to the rest of the galaxy. The Galactic Republic first formed the Corporate Sector over 500 years ago, a political move called the 'Corporate Sector Initiative', to settle the differences between Republic politicians and corporate executives. The Tingel Arm was the region chosen by the Galactic Republic Senate as the location of a new, semi-autonomous zone in which the corporations could pursue their own agendas, as it was a region supposedly devoid of indigenous sentient species. The corporations allowed to operate in the sector purchased entire regions of the zone, and could administrate them as they wished, but the Republic supervised them and reserved the right to patrol the newly established Corporate Sector. The leaders of said corporate interests eventually banded together to share the expenses and profits of this new frontier, thus creating the Corporate Sector Authority, or CSA, led by an official elected by the Executives of the Corporations (known collectively as the 'Direx Board'). This official would come to be known as the ‘ExO’. (more...)
