Corporate Sector COMPLETE Breakdown | Military, History, Politics etc.

foreign ERS this video will be a complete breakdown of the corporate sector Authority pulling everything from both Legends and Canon to understand this unique part of the Galaxy and predict some things that we might see as it gets explored more the first time the CSA was ever mentioned was in 1979 in the novel Han Solo at Star's end so it's been in the lore sense before Empire Strikes Back and it would really get fleshed out a lot more in the 80s and early 90s and it always felt like a more grungy dystopian sci-fi area not quite like the rest of the Star Wars Galaxy more focused on crime and Corruption instead of the feud between the Jedi and Sith this section of the Galaxy officially became the corporate sector in 490 BBY and was the direct result of the outer expansion Zone Scandal two centuries earlier circa's 700 BBY the expansionist oligarchy which is exactly what it sounds like a collection of Mega corpse which achieved a level of power never before seen in the Republic and who went out to set up Monopoly rule of large areas of the Galaxy in the past some might fear monopolies dominating a specific good or service but at the solar system scale these Mega Corps would take things like the company store practice to new levels the entire Marketplace of collections of solar systems could be under a sole supplier from one of these Mega cores and many of them would ironically form their own sort of union or Lobby in order to wield influence against the Republic Senate workers complained that they were merely serfs just above slaves and that their only free choice was to go homeless while on Coruscant these flyby star systems were ignored and these corporations could point to True figures of ever increasing quality of life measured in everything from food options technology and even lifespan as these worlds were mostly primitive or even uninhabitable before the megacorps arrived when the Republic continued their push to civilize the Galaxy connecting everything with the non-stop construction of hyperlanes they turned over management of the outer expansion Zone to the expansionist oligarchy in 719 BBY over the next couple decades however a dark aspect of space economics and Galactic ecology was revealed if you strip mine an entire world worked its native population to death and moved on to do this to an entire solar system the cold vacuum of space didn't shed a tear on a single world the people and countries that shared it would often come to agreements on things since it all affected each other Reckless abandoned on your sector of the world even if you owned it would lead to someone coming to put a stop to it eventually and even if they didn't this perpetrator would have been killed from the results of their own actions so it would resolve itself whether it be nuclear war or environmental disaster but a lifeless World Keeps spinning around its star all the same you could ravage an entire solar system and it would still stay in its neat little orbit in the galaxy and then so when the expansionist oligarchy found themselves even more power and even farther away from the core their policies took on a whole new level of Reckless abandon many of these people caught in the path were unsharted and most of them were lost to history with who knows how many native plant and animal life that were just considered useless on planet-wide operations clearing them to make space for settlers or dedicating a world completely to industrial production it got so out of hand that even the corrupt Senators back home got involved and this experiment was put to an end with the oligarch seeming to have been broken up fleets of republic ships at a scale not seen since the Mandalorian Wars spread all throughout the expansion region to be a show of force as like the later Trade Federation the businesses did have to secure arms and eventually wore ships to protect their Assets in this wild west but they were smart enough to respect the Republic Authority and just adapt to the times while the Republic tried to establish more social safety nets in these regions the companies were still in power just with more of a threat that the laws passed on Coruscant would actually now be enforced and the Republic still sold off large contracts of space to the same companies but now with direct Republic contacts and this did seem to work to create a better balance of innovation and freedom with less exploitation of entire star systems these new sectors of land also paid a flat tax on all activity in the area and again really think of this at scale the most powerful country on Earth doesn't even control one-fifth of the population or land mass but a single business could operate like a government for dozens of systems instead of having the Republic getting involved to tax everything from sector system planet and City level they just paid a flat fee back to Coruscant and can work out out the rates within the overall legal restrictions but with this first shot across the bow of oligarchy these Titans secured a piece of the farthest out part of the outer rim and at the very end of the hiding way this Super Hyper route connected the entire galaxy and was generally the quickest easiest and safest way to travel the newly formed corporate sector would be a retreat for some of the richest people in the galaxy and by the time the Clone Wars it was considered an independent governmental Zone not under Republic control and so it was similar to Hut space even the Hutts knew that if something outrageously flagrant was done here if someone kidnapped a senator and brought him into Hut space or was committing endless genocide within this sector this would eventually get public opinion and the Huts expect the Jedi to pay them a visit but nobody would conflate that with the Republic being in charge there in the corporate sector the Republic credit was not used my weapons now comms no credit instead they use the authority cash voucher and their Capital became Eddie IV a world with blue skins near humans not just or pantorum that moved here from the core around 20 000 years earlier this became the capital of Saibot Galactica the creator of everything from the 3PO and other protocol droids to workers Demolition and Military droids the greatest rival to Industrial automata when the Clone Wars broke out despite being in the CIS controlled Outer Rim they were left alone and able to remain neutral I suspect on the direct order of Darth Sidious as we will see Palpatine's intentions with this area because the heads of these companies did not get involved after the empire was formed they were sold a bunch of the war Surplus everything from arms to at least six requisite class light destroyers While most of the old CIS companies were nationalized or dissolved with their assets being handed out to Loyal companies like Co-op Drive yards sign our Fleet systems and tag company it was tag who became close friends with the new emperor and was seen as instrumental in helping to expand the corporate sector Authority this would come to include thirty thousand star systems but still relatively small on the map and was a concession on Palpatine's part he knew that the marketplace was the best generator of new products and ideas so we wanted to allow this Zone to operate outside of his control the Empire had plenty of Firepower to take this region whenever it wanted the only thing that he really worried about was that if the wealthy and powerful and Coruscant turned on him maybe they could spark a rebellion or pull off an assassination so there was always a dance with the CSA and they also had an enormous influx of battle droids after the Clone Wars refitted to work on new systems it still wasn't enough to take on the Empire but incredibly scary for the CSA citizens as the old separatist company the corporate alliance's assets were taken in negotiating a three percent tax on the sector's gross product and another tithe on all materials and or produced in exchange for that droid army this leftover Army would be used to further consolidate all of the new space that they were granted with several short smaller Wars popping up with the triani being able to hold out and broker a peace deal while the discovery and attack of at least 11 sentient species were completely covered up the espo or boys in brown were the beat cops and there are now these higher level more refined looking authorities as well they all had access to everything from the stunned batons to armored Walkers and gunships sending out prisoners to the feared secret prison called star's end a spire on a desolate asteroid in Wild space the security division was the military which patrolled their territory and fleets that were a combination of all sorts of stuff old CIS ships like lucra Hulks and dreadnoughts alongside new Imperial Victory ones and for starfighters they mostly use the mancvim 914 light Interceptor one of the most Grievous crimes committed in this sector was sedition plotting against your government but as this oppressively corporate CSA org chart shows your employer was the government and forming a union was treason what's funny is that during the humanocentric rule the Empire there was far greater alien equality in the CSA an appeal that Drew Millions to this far off sector but they quickly realized that they traded out speciesism for classism citizenship was purchased and was called shareholder rights so all lower class and even most of the middle class laborers could work their entire life without officially being citizens while the CSA would also buy slaves from abroad enslave new populations they discovered within their borders though most saw no major difference between the slave conditions and how the most poor non-citizen worker of the CSA lived only making enough to eat for that day and owning no property but at least the board meetings were a beautiful Multicultural display of the most ruthless Elite aliens of all shapes and sizes there was one incident that did bring the Empire to come in like a blitzkrieg following the rebel Escape during the Battle of Hoth turns out the magnetic pulse Warheads used by the Rebel Alliance were sold out of this region and making sure they set the tone the empire did an unprecedented move and took full control of Galactic Electronics Corporation setting up shop on all of their land within this sector after Endor the CSA tried to remain neutral selling off anything they could to the Imperial Remnant and New Republic many in the NR protested any alliance with the CSA but then they would be conquered by Grand Moff zing in 7aby though it would only be in his control for a year when he died in aaby curiously the yuzon vong would not invade them but this is likely just due to them being so far out on the fringes as the new Republic wanted to unify the entire galaxy and dissolve the ancient oligarchy Outpost from around 20 ABY on many of the companies were working with contacts from the Imperial Remnant in the unknown regions growing what would become the first order with the express agreement that they would emerge to destroy the new Republic and ensure the protection of this autonomous sector and Rick Pride would rise in the ranks of the first order and act as a supervisor in the CSA though when he was contacted by The Sith Eternal cultist that was hunting down Rey this whole Dark Side stuff was too much and he cut off his relationship with the Jedi Hunter and warned him that he better stay out of the corporate sector General Leia would reveal that Senator Ro kintore was funneling credits from the CSA and first order all over on Kanto bite the police department was given a list of VIPs from this sector that they were to never harass in any way whatsoever the last we hear from this sector was a reckoning that was 700 years in the making when in 44 81 y a full-scale slaver Vault erupted on all major cities across this sector though whether the oligarchs found a way to stay in power is still unclear thanks for watching if you want a lot more of
