'''The Hutt Council''', also known as the '''Grand Hutt Council''', was a [[:Category: Trade Conglomerates|trading conglomerate]] and an [[Imperial]] [[Wikipedia:suzerainty|suzerainty]] that existed from [[Year 3|Year 3 Day 81]] to [[Year 5|Year 5 Day 347]]. Its origins trace back to the decadent age of the Old Republic when the Hutts controlled a dangerous swath of the galaxy between the [[Mid Rim]] and the [[Outer Rim Territories]]. The Council controlled the region by overseeing the activities of the [[Hutt|Hutt clans]] — ''kajidics'' — and their business syndicates. Their capital was located in the Y'toub system and was called [[Nal Hutta]]. Following centuries of decline, the Council was reborn on [[Year 3|Year 3 Day 81]] by [[Angobba Desilijic Lucar]].

During the [[Second Imperial Civil War]] that ravaged the galaxy circa Year 3, the Hutt Council was a key ally of [[Emperor]] [[Charon]]'s [[Galactic Empire]] and — under the auspices of [[Grand Admiral]] [[Black Lodge]] and Director [[Matrel Byden]] — the Council played a prominent role in Charon's campaign to exterminate Warlord [[Vodo Bonias]]' [[Dark Empire]].In the eyes of Warlord Bonias, it was contemptible that a [[Human|humanocentric]] regime such as Charon's Empire should publicly align itself with a criminal syndicate of Hutts.([[Hutt Council|more...]])

The '''[[Galactic Empire]]''', also known as the New Order, is the successor of the [[Galactic Republic]] and arguably the legitimate government of the galaxy, currently concentrated around the Core regions and the Corporate Sector. It is recognised as one of the most militarily capable and economically dominant governments of the galaxy. It is an absolute non-hereditary monarchy, ruled by the [[Emperor]] with the support of his advisors. The Executor serves as second-in-command of the Empire and heir apparent of the Emperor, acting on behalf of the Emperor when the latter is absent or incapacitated. The Executor serves directly under the Emperor and is considered part of the Throne.

The early history of the Galactic Empire, while relatively recent on a galactic scale, is largely undocumented. As the fortunes of individuals and groups have changed in the Empire, and Emperors themselves risen and fallen, historical documents have been altered, misplaced or outright destroyed. Much of what remains is lacking, and has been pieced together with what remnants, poorly sourced and often blatantly propagandic, remain from those years. ([[Galactic Empire|more...]])

'''[[Ignatius Paak]]''' is of [[Alderaanian]] heritage, born in the [[Tion Cluster]] with a stedfast commitment to law and order. Home schooled and self taught from a young age, he took an interest in the law and politics while working for both parents in their Alderaan Political Offices. Upon serving a successful term as Mayor of [[Cadinth]], he finds himself working inside the Cluster-wide system of Government in his capacity as a political liaison to improve the lives of all [[Tion Cluster]] sentients. Through this loyalty to the law he has built up a strong reputation as a man of the highest principles, putting away hardened criminals while braving death threats and rejecting the most ridiculous bribes. It's these beliefs that find him pushing the boundaries to improve the lives of all those around, while turning people away from a life of crime and rehabilitating them into a brighter future on the right side of the law.

The career of Gorn Veynom in the Empire is closely linked to the European Division, which was created by Colonel [[Rahvin]].

Siejo was born on Year –12, Day 110. It was a cold murky morning in the Underwater Nautolan Capital. His father was away at work, but his mother was there, safeguarding her eggs from predators.

None of the other eggs hatched that day, but a few days later, other eggs hatched, releasing Siejo’s siblings into the world. ([[Siejo Kutol|more...]])

The Hutt Council, also known as the Grand Hutt Council, was a trading conglomerate and an Imperial suzerainty that existed from Year 3 Day 81 to Year 5 Day 347. Its origins trace back to the decadent age of the Old Republic when the Hutts controlled a dangerous swath of the galaxy between the Mid Rim and the Outer Rim Territories. The Council controlled the region by overseeing the activities of the Hutt clanskajidics — and their business syndicates. Their capital was located in the Y'toub system and was called Nal Hutta. Following centuries of decline, the Council was reborn on Year 3 Day 81 by Angobba Desilijic Lucar.

During the Second Imperial Civil War that ravaged the galaxy circa Year 3, the Hutt Council was a key ally of Emperor Charon's Galactic Empire and — under the auspices of Grand Admiral Black Lodge and Director Matrel Byden — the Council played a prominent role in Charon's campaign to exterminate Warlord Vodo Bonias' Dark Empire.In the eyes of Warlord Bonias, it was contemptible that a humanocentric regime such as Charon's Empire should publicly align itself with a criminal syndicate of Hutts.(more...)

Avancelogo Holocron.png

The Avance Coalition is a neutral, independent government, spanning across several sectors in the south-western quadrant of the galaxy. Founded with the objective of being a peaceful retreat from the galactic civil war Avance is a somewhat introverted government.

Neutrality plays a big role in the Avance Coalition. With its territories far from the galactic civil war, and the security forces mandated solely with protection. The Coalition is the ideal place to seek asylum from the war, regardless of former sides, or to set up a thriving business, like many have done in the past. Avance corporations, under the 'TAC' banner, are known and respected throughout the galaxy, be it Rendili StarDrive for its Dreadnaught warships, or Alpha Medical Corps for quality medical service.

Citizens of the Avance Coalition are invited to participate in many of the Coalitions different councils, serve in the Avance Security Forces, or become an Avance noble(wo)man, by joining a Noble House. Or, if one feels up to it, do all of those things; monthly salaries usually reflect an individuals activity in all activities mentioned above. (more...)

Mid Year 9, Imperial Executor Arturus Goth was approached by Aay Zavos, a commander of Renegade Inc.
