Imperial Outer Rim Authority
The Imperial Outer Rim Authority, or IORA, is an independent, multi-sector government that acts on behalf of the Galactic Empire and is allied with it. Since controlling vast territories such as Coruscant and Corellia was already a cumbersome task, it was decided that a fully independent entity not busy with other problems should be put in command of the Outer Rim oversector, a long-time part of the mighty Empire. IORA was the first legitimate Pro-Imperial Government headed by Imperial Moff, and well known intelligence officer, Brat Cost Ru. He was appointed to the new position of Supreme Commander of Outer Rim by Emperor Vodo Bonias. The former President of BlasTech Industries now holds the seat of Supreme Chancellor for IORA.
The transfer of power started with the re-establishment of the once mighty weapons production faction, BlasTech Industries. After settling in the Seswenna Sector, Blastech became recognized as a legitimate government within a matter of months, developing rapidly from a small weapons manufacturer to a commanding power. BTI took control of 5 more Sectors and liberated the planet Hoth from the clutches of the Eidola Pirates and the Order of Krath.
Steady growth that was achieved by the management of the new government and its loyal workers convinced The Emperor that it was time to do what was intended: establish official Imperial control over the Sectors that comprise the Outer Rim. As a result, BlasTech started a number of lucrative investment projects in order to raise money that was needed to fund its own growth as well as its very own sub-divisions. BlasTech Resources and a new BlasTech Industries were founded in order to relieve some load off the emerging new superpower. These factions, designed to cover extracting/mining and medical areas of business respectively, were also to carry the brand of BlasTech into the future, as the mother-faction was soon renamed into the IORA to better pronounce the true target of the government: that is controlling and defending the Outer Rim territories in the name of His Majesty and the Galactic Empire, allowing the Empire to focus on more important issues in and around The Core Worlds.
Today, the IORA is recognized as the legitimate government of the Outer Rim and an ally of the Galactic Empire. Besides the two sub-factions it already has, IORA has even more interesting projects planned, making its workplaces one of the most sought after commodities in the Galaxy. Defending such a gargantuan piece of space will most certainly require a lot of wit, time and dedication, as well as some military engagements and intricate political moves, which former BlasTech employees proved they can manage very well.
