[edit] History

Once the heart of a proud pre-Republic civilization during the Expansionist Era, the Hegemony had become a poorly administered backwater in the time of the Galactic Empire's rise.[3] The Hegemony was dominated by the noble House of Tion. The sector was near Republic planets such as Falang Minor, Ossus, Haashimut, Rhen Var, and Sembla.[4]

The Hegemony was the scene of numerous battles during the Clone Wars, when it was dominated by the Separatists. In fact, the Separatist cause could be said to have originated in the Tion Hegemony, as Dooku's first headquarters was on the grim planet of Raxus Prime.[5]

The Imperial-administrated area was created out of what was once part of the Honorable Union of Desevro & Tion, a remnant of the empire of Xim the Despot from before the Old Republic. The capital planets of Xim's empire were Argai, Xim's homeworld, and Desevro, former capital of the Livien League.[6] The Imperial capital was Tion.[source?]

During the Galactic Empire, the Hegemony was generally left to its own devices, until a heavy Rebel presence was discovered shortly after the Battle of Turkana took place and Operation Strike Fear raided some of its systems.[7] In 2 BBY the long lost treasure hoards of Xim were discovered on the planet Dellalt.[3]

The Hegemony joined the New Republic in 24 ABY, much later than other planets, and was represented in the New Republic Senate by Nyxy and later by Thuv Shinev.[8]
