The Centrality was an independent government, a lengthy region of space nestled between Hutt Space and the Cron Drift, consisting of several dozen star systems. It was an empty region lacking many stable hyperspace routes, with areas so devoid of systems that some travelers would run out of fuel before finishing their journeys even halfway. The ruling body of this region of space was the Centrality Council. Inhabitants were referred to as Centrans.

HistoryEdit

Early historyEdit

The region was originally settled by colonists with a strong sense of freedom and frontier spirit who were fed up with the corruption of the Old Republic. The settlers embraced the harsh environment and saw their success as a victory of their hard work. Although they opposed strong, central governments, they formed a loose coalition of trade and defense agreements known as the "Centrality". The head of this government was called the "Scrivinir", which meant "head writer" in High Trammic.^[2] During the last years of the Old Republic, the industrial worlds were hit by economic depressions, while the agriworlds were hit by crop plagues. With the central government too weak and the more prosperous worlds, like Oseon, unwilling to help, the civilization of the Centrality crumbled back to poverty and its backwater reputation began.^[3]

Imperial eraEdit

The Centrality allied itself with the Galactic Empire, but maintained most of its independence and military strength. It was regarded as largely strategically unimportant by Emperor Palpatine, and he permitted Rokur Gepta, Sorcerer of Tund, to maintain a jurisdiction over it and its government. The Imperial military placed a fleet in this region, consisting mostly of older ships.

The worlds in the Centrality, now supporting the Empire, had their industries revitalized.^[3]

Lando Calrissian had a series of adventures in this region of space with his droid ally, Vuffi Raa, in the days when he was still owner of the Millennium Falcon.

New Republic eraEdit

After the deaths of Gepta and Palpatine, the Centrality maintained its independence but had little impact on galactic affairs. The people saw the New Republic with a lot of skepticism, but nonetheless signed a treaty of goodwill. The Centrality Navy was reinforced with Imperial ships and proved to be a capable defense. However, with the Empire gone, the economy had once again started to collapse and Renatasian terrorism started to rise.^[3]

During the Yuuzhan Vong War, the Centraility was hit by a flood of refugees and the region became plagued by overpopulation, crime, and poverty, and work became extremely scarce. With the government in turmoil, Fleet Admiral Sris Lehhett initiated a bloody coup and installed himself as the new Scrivinir, while the former one, Ottdefa Tavell Geen fled to Coruscant in exile. Lehhett halted immigration, started mass conscription and used ISB methods to keep the population in line. However, wealthier systems, like Oseon, loudly protested against his methods and threatened to secede.^[3]

AstrographyEdit

The region was reachable through the Cadma Conduit, which ended at the Oseon system. Other routes were the Arleen Loop and the Falko Run, which went as far as the Douglas system.^[4] Planets in the Centrality included Antipose XII, Dela, Dilonexa XXIII, Douglas III, Erilnar, Hosrel XI, Lekua V, Paulking XIV, Renatasia III, Rafa IV, Rafa V, Rigneldia II, Scillal, Trammis III, Tund, Uaua, Zebitrope IV, and Zebitrope VIII. The Oseon system and the ThonBoka were also in the Centrality.
