Coruscant (GNS): The free enterprise fiefdom known as the Corporate Sector Authority, and its subsidiary corporations, were forcibly nationalized by the Galactic Empire on Year 10 Day 72 in response to mounting concerns as to the adequacy of the administration of the sector.
The Empire withdrew the charter granting autonomous authority to the Corporate Sector due to evidence of mismanagement of the governing authority and its subsidiaries, and failure to meet basic productivity and staffing requirements. This comes as the Authority lost influence to the rebellious BlasTech Corporation in the Corporate Sector, and news of talks between the Authority and enemies of the Empire.
Moff Orphaea Imperium of Oversector Dolomar was observer within the Corporate Sector Authority in the days leading to nationalization, and was the officer responsible for giving the order to detain the Direx Board, the governing body of the Authority, and assuming control of the government apparatus. An officer, whose identity has not been revealed, was dispatched to detain ExO Max Solusar aboard the Bulk Freighter CSAPO Hebi-Hansuo. Solusar managed to overwhelm the officer, who proceeded to lock the freighter into a suicidal run into the nearest sun, resulting in the deaths of both Solusar and the unidentified officer. The lack of communication due to the death of both Solusar and the officer resulted in control of government not being achieved until some hours after the freighter's impact with the sun.
"Let it be known that the Empire is dedicated to ensuring the continuing security and stability in the Corporate and Kanz sectors," declared Moff Imperium on assuming control of the authority. "We do this for the people of the Corporate Sector, to ensure that the prosperity they seek there can be had by them. We have no quarrel with the rank and file, it is the leadership alone who will be held responsible, and even some of them may return should they be found free of fault and wish to remain."
A number of members of the Authority and its subsidiaries have been expelled, although it is believed some innocent officers may have been expelled in the confusion. Difficulties were increased due to the destruction of employee records by former corporation leaders before Imperial administrations assumed control. It is believed that some corporations of the Authority will be allowed to enter private hands, consolidating resources into a smaller number of the corporations the Authority administered.
Moff Imperium also confirmed that investments and purchases with the Authority and its subsidiaries would be honored where there was reasonable proof of such a relationship, and the purchasers or account holders are galactic citizens in good standing with the Empire. Evidence of accounts or purchases must be presented in writing to Moff Imperium by the beginning of Day 79 in order to be honored.
The Corporate and Kanz Sectors have been incorporated into the Empire's existing Oversector Dolomar.
