Coriallis
During the New Republic's retreat from Coruscant six years after the
Battle of Endor, Taryn Clancy of the Core Courier Service was enlisted
to deliver a rendezvous location to one of the New Republic battle
fleets. After escaping Coruscant, Clancy changed course at Coriallis
before proceeding to her destination. Sergeant Zeck Tambell, an Imperial
investigator on the planet Stassia, was a native of Coriallis. [SWAJ]
Corlass
The planet Corlass has a long tradition of piracy, dating back to the
earliest days of primitive sailing ships on the planet's seas. Points of
interest on the world include Quori City, which was built in a complex
maze-like pattern. Tron Nixx, a navigator in Drek Drednar's pirate crew,
grew up on Corlass. [SWAJ]
Corporate Sector
Consisting of tens of thousands of star systems, the Corporate Sector is
a free-enterprise fief located on the edge of the galaxy, and bordered
by the Aparo and Wyl sectors. The Corporate Sector is as wealthy and
influential as the richest sectors in Imperial space, and the skylines
of its many urban worlds are lit by the multicolored flashes of
countless advertising signs. It offers the widest selection of products
anywhere, and tourists come from all over the galaxy to purchase its
unique goods. The entire sector is run by a single corporation, known as
the Corporate Sector Authority (CSA). The CSA is composed of dozens of
contributing companies (over 1000 companies are currently on the waiting
list to join) and is run by the 55 members of the Direx Board, who are
in turn headed by the ExO. The CSA has exclusive rights to use the
sector's resouces as they see fit-- typically they use up a planet and
move on to another one, and are not above using slave labor or grossly
polluting the environment. Since it has no internal competition, the CSA
can mark up the prices of their goods to many times their actual worth,
and businesses in the sector do not accept any currency except Authority
Cash Vouchers and crystalline vertexes. A portion of the CSA's enormous
profits were secretly funneled to Emperor Palpatine, with the
understanding that the Empire would take no direct role in the operation
of the sector. Therefore, the protective CSA has formed its own military
forces, including Security Police (or "Espos") and a comparatively poor
and outdated starfleet. Planets in the Corporate Sector, in addition to
its sterile, climate-controlled capitol worlds, include Ammuud, Bonadan,
Roonadan, Etti IV, Kalla, Kail, Orron III, Duroon, Mytus VII, Gaurick,
Rampa, Mall'ordian, Reltooine, Knolstee, Mayro, and the Trianii colony
worlds of Fibuli, Ekibo, Pypin, and Brochiib. The feline Trianii have
been actively opposing the Corporate Sector's annexation of their
worlds, and much of the fighting occurred in the Tingel Arm. An
armistice in this conflict has recently been called after three years of
fighting.
Originally established several hundred years ago by the Old Republic,
the Corporate Sector was once a group of several hundred systems all
devoid of intelligent life. The corporations allowed to operate in the
sector could purchase entire regions of space, but were held in check by
the watchful eye of the Republic. During the Emperor's rise to power,
however, several corporate allies of Palpatine convinced him to expand
the sector to encompass nearly 30,000 stars. Eleven native intelligent
species were discovered in this expanded region, though this fact has
been effectively covered up. The CSA was soon established to manage all
aspects of the sector's operations, and thus the "modern" era of the
Corporate Sector began. Han Solo and Chewbacca had several legendary
exploits in the Corporate Sector during their early adventuring,
including a jailbreak from the infamous Stars' End. Following the Battle
of Hoth, the Corporate Sector company Galactic Electronics developed a
new "mag pulse" weapons technology and sold it to the Rebel Alliance. In
retaliation, the Imperial Star Destroyer Glory traveled to the sector
and seized the corporation's deep-space research facility. Emperor
Palpatine once had plans to build a great palace for himself in the
sector, and construction continued even after Palpatine's supposed death
at the Battle of Endor. Six years later, during the Emperor's
reappearance, the Corporate Sector declared its neutrality in the
conflict and began supplying weapons and arms to both sides. [HSSE, HSR,

Corsin
Located in the Greater Plooriod Cluster, Corsin was a beautiful world
known for its love of life until it was forcibly subjugated by Imperial
troops. Alliance historian Voren Na'al witnessed the start of the
military occupation while covering the prestigious swoop races on
Corsin. [MTS]
Corstris
A forested planet on which Han Solo spent some time as part of his
Alliance duties. [TLC]
