The Corporate Sector in the Star Wars franchise is located in the galaxy’s Outer Rim Territories. It was a key trading area, and governed by the independent Corporate Sector Authority. It has been described as a “fiefdom” for corporate entities, given free reign to govern as they choose.
These are our favorite worlds in the Corporate Sector.
Cantonica
Cantonica was a desert planet in the Cantonica system within the Corporate Sector of the galaxy’s Outer Rim Territories. The planet was home to the casino city Canto Bight, which was a destination for wealthy tourists, gamblers, and war profiteers. Many denizens enjoyed betting on the Farrier races, much like horse racing. With such a populated world, and so much to offer it would be handy to have a site for reviews such as 1xbet to advise you where best to go. Where better to enjoy a game than Cantonica once you have made that decision.
Bonadan
Bonadan is the chief port world of the Corporate Sector and the primary world in the Bonadan system. It boasts 10 gigantic spaceports that are iconic around the galaxy. It is a strip-mined planet at the end of the Hydian Way, much like Bespin and Lothal.
Due to the mining, Bonadan’s surface was heavily eroded, and the topsoil destroyed by constant drilling and construction. The once-beautiful landscape was left scorched and barren from years of strip-mining, pollution, and mismanagement. What remains of the surface is covered with factories, refineries, docks, and shipbuilding facilities across the ten spaceports.
Etti IV
Etti IV is the capital of the Corporate Sector and is known as a hot, and stormy world. The planet is settled by the Etti, a blue-skinned race of Near-Humans who left the Core Worlds many years ago to escape persecution.
The world was a centrepoint and crossroads for several major trading routes, and thus was very hospitable to the galaxies humanoid races. This made Etti IV the most logical center for Corporate Sector Authority administration.
The planet was also the headquarters of the Cybot Galactica who famously were caught in, an embezzlement scandal resulted in twelve executives being imprisoned on the penal colony of Ord Cestus.
Ammuud
Ammuud was a cold planet located in the semi-independent Corporate Sector of the galaxy’s Outer Rim Territories. The planet saw decades of fighting between its seven resident family clans, who eventually united to govern Ammuud under the Code of Ammuud.
Salient
The Salient system was a star system located in the Corporate Sector of the galaxy. It played a crucial role in hiding Saw Gerrera while Moff Wilhuff Tarkin put the system under siege. The Galactic Empire finally took it over and extracted the freighter pilot Has Obitt from Salient II. Saw Gerrera was played by Forrest Whitaker in the movie Rogue One, whilst Moff Tarkin was portrayed by legendary actor Peter Cushing in A New Hope.
The Corporate Sector remains a crucial part of Star Wars storytelling to this day, and is still mentioned and referenced in the latest films, television, and books. It first sprung to non-fiction prominence in the West End Games RPG sourcebook, “Han Solo and The Corporate Sector” haven been a major part of the first ever Star Wars novels by Brian Daley, The Han Solo Adventures in the late 1970s.
It was introduced to fans as follows:
Before the Battle of Yavin and a chance encounter in a cantina in the spaceport city of Mos Eisley …
A young Corellian smuggler and his Wookiee first mate, eager to take on the riskiest of cargoes if the credits are right, have come to the Corporate Sector, a region of space so rich, it’s said they pave the starport landing strips with nova crystals.
The Corporate Sector was one wisp off one branch at the end of one arm of the galaxy, but that wisp contained tens of thousands of star systems.
The Corporate Sector Authority had been chartered to exploit — some called it plunder — the uncountable riches there. Its wealth and influence eclipsed that of all but the richest Imperial Regions. The Authority was owner, employer, landlord, government, and military, and not a benevolent one.
And that’s where Han Solo’s and Chewbacca’s troubles started …
If you want to plot your adventure look for the Sourcebook on eBay, but perhaps the easiest way to learn more is to pick up the still in print novels from Brian Daley.
They are often collected together in one large paperback called the Han Solo adventures, but you can also buy the individual books, Han Solo at Stars’ End (1979), Han Solo’s Revenge (1979), and Han Solo and the Lost Legacy (1980). There perhaps is no richer Star Wars story out there.
