These sectors came to be known as the "Greater Seswenna" after his original command as a Moff before it was expanded into Oversector Outer. Tensions have arisen with the Galactic Alliance as that government has started to stabilize after the Yuuzhan Vong War. However, these tensions have yet to result in war.Reports of Tarkin having secured an alliance with a renegade Clone Master are unsubstantiated, yet he has definitely contracted Sorosuub to outfit a large force with Stormtrooper gear as well as to build new warships. These maybe Army Troopers He has also been building some kind of battlestation in the Patriim sector, which may be another Death Star. Repeated sabotage has resulted in large delays in the construction. Despite calls within the Galactic Alliance to censure Tarkin, most do not wish to risk war, especially with such threats as Revan and the mysterious Imperial force within the Deep Core, feared to be Palpatine returned once again. It is also uncertain whether the Imperial Remnant would side with him or not. Tarkin's standing forces seem to number at least three augmented sector groups, not including local forces under his banner, which he has begun to organize into sector groups under the command of lesser Moffs appointed by him.the Sith EmpiresWhen squadrons of Old Republic warships started raiding shipyards and capturing ships most thought little of it with everything else that was happening. When those warships returned alongside the warships they stole multiplied dozens or hundreds of times over and started taking and holding territory, the galaxy's leaders started to realize they had a problem. Yet there was little they could at first since their forces were depleted from the Yuuzhan Vong War. By the time a proper response could be arranged, much of the Trans-Hydian Region had fallen. Darth Revan had reformed his Sith Empire.The newly reformed Confederacy of Independent Systems was one of the first forces that began to stand up to Revan's fleets. This is part of what led to so many supporting it's return in the first place. These systems gladly accepted the droid armies in exchange for protection. However even the CIS's industrial capabilities began to be outstripped by the Siths' so they called upon the Galactic Alliance, with which they had allied with before, regarding it as a much more acceptable alternative to the Republic. Yet the distraction of the Swarm War prevented them from doing much to pursue their front at first.Then when the Galactic Alliance was poised to take the fight to the Sith another threat arose. Darth Krayt appeared with forces of the Galactic Empire of 137 ABY and began to conquer their own chunk of the galaxy. While the Imperial Remnant was joined by Emperor Fel's loyalists and the Galactic Alliance was bolstered by the addition of the Core Fleet to their forces Krayt has managed to contest much of the galaxy, with slivers of scattered territory held by his forces. Perhaps unexpectedly Tarkin has emerged as an ally of the Alliance against Krayt, if only because he claims the title Tarkin covets.The appearance of The Old Republic era Sith Empire is somewhat of a boon to the Galactic Alliance. They contest much of Revan's territory, even having taken Korriban and the rest of Sith Space from him. Revan has begun to focus on fighting them, the enemy that he was preparing the Republic to fight during his first conquests. Another alternate of Revan has led a team to Dantooine, where he first discovered the existence of the Star Forge. This alternate is aligned with the Jedi Order and is working to reconstruct the damaged Star Map in the Rakatan ruins there so that the Galactic Alliance can use it to find the location of Lehon and once again destroy the Star Forge. In the meanwhile, the Empire of the Hand, led by an alternate of Grand Admiral Thrawn and allied with the Galactic Alliance, is searching the Unknown Regions the hard way.The Corporate Sector Authority, Trade Federation, Intergalactic Banking Clan and othersSince the discovery of Outer Rim Area 51 the reconstituted Trade Federation has made a deal with the Corporate Sector Authority and Intergalactic Banking Clan have made a number of deals to facilitate trade with the Milky Way Galaxy. They have made contact with the Ferengi Alliance, who have helped form further commercial contacts and have exchanged gold-pressed latinum, nuyen, euros and other local currencies in exchange for Banking Clan credits. Since one of the most valuable commodities available is the differing technologies of the two galaxies the Techno Union is also heavily involved and they have bought out StarMech Enterprises to produce and sell technologies from the Star Wars Galaxy. StarMech was in operation since shortly after the 23 hours, but with the backing of the Techno Union they have grown considerably. The megacorps and trade guilds of the Star Wars galaxy have also been in contact with the Rogue Traders of the Imperium of Man.One of the most imported technologies are industrial replicators, in order to allow for more rapid production of goods, especially war materiel to counteract the advantage granted to Darth Revan's Empire with the Star Forge. The absolutely exorbitant prices charged for these devices have sent the Galactic Alliance deep into debt with the Banking Clan, but the large amounts of weapons they have produced have helped hold the line. The Star Wars hyperdrive is heavily exported due to it's much, much improved speed over warp engines, despite the existence of even more effective hyperdrives like those of the Asgard and the Ancient Stardrive which allow for travel between galaxies, and the necessity of astrogation data. Many experimental warships have been fitted with weapons like quantum torpedoes or yamato cannons imported from the Milky Way.The resurgence of the trade guilds has not gone unnoticed by galactic authorities. Despite laws and other measures taken to avoid the corruption experienced in the Old Republic, they have gained much of their old power. The Trade Federation has even purchased a number of new warships like the Star Galleon or the Corona-class escort frigate for the Trade Defense Forces. They are, however, a lot more careful about when and how they use their forces, not wanting a repeat of the Naboo fiasco.</blockquote>
