Editing Corporate Sector Authority

The '''Corporate Sector Authority''' ('''CSA''') was a notable government in the [[Star Wars Combine]] and ruled a far-flung region of [[the galaxy]] known as the Corporate Sector, located at the end of the Tingel Arm. The faction was originally created circa Year 3 by [[Mystiel Raleigh]], [[Kam Farlight]], [[Zorran Black]] and [[Orion Silverhelm]] from the ashes of [[Infinite Dark]]. Following a hostile takeover by the [[Galactic Empire]] in [[Year 10]], the old Corporate Sector Authority ceased to be. The bulk of its surviving members joined the [[New Republic]] or other [[Rebel|anti-Imperial]] organizations.

The seeds of the Corporate Sector Authority began in a smuggling ring known as "[[Infinite Dark]]" led by [[Kam Farlight]]. It was one of the largest smuggling operations in [[the galaxy]] and Kam had ambitious plans for growth. In particular, Kam wished to build a vast capitalist union in an independent sector of the [[Outer Rim]]. This capitalist union would be based on trade and would offer asylum to needy refugees. Thus the idea of the [[Corporate Sector]] was born. Another member of Infinite Dark, [[Midge Cellewan]], helped Kam conceptualize this idea along with [[Orion Silverhelm]], [[Talon Efwam]] and [[Adam Flynn]]. However, when Kam retired, an opportunistic Adam Flynn — with the help of [[Keir Santage]] — robbed Kam's second-in-command Talon Efwam of all assets.

During this period, [[Max Solusar]] — a former member of [[Black Dragons]] — was the leader of Paradox Resource Exploration, a subsidiary of the Corporate Sector Authority. When the Corporate Sector Authority became an official government, the Direx Board — its ruling body — asked Solusar to return to active duty. He became the new Director General of the Espos and the executive Vice-Prex of Security. In [[Year 8]], Solusar served as a Senior Direx Consultant, a retiree position for veteran members given the privilege of advising the Direx Board. Throughout this time, Solusar continued to serve as the Executive Vice President of the Security Division.

With Imperium now in power, the Authority's corporations were stripped, sold off, or incorporated into the Galactic Empire. The territories of the Authority were incorporated into Oversector Dolomar while more permanent arrangements for their governance were decided. Following the death of the Corporate Sector Authority at the hands of the Empire, the majority of its surviving members joined the [[New Republic]].

With the disolution of the organization the CSA chart mandates all powers and leadership are to be passed on to an active Senior Direx Board Member, whose job would be to reconstruct the government and hold leadership until a new election process can take place. [[Paparrin]] was the active SDB member at the time of the Empire's takeover.
