Candoras sector

"Candoras is far from the mainstream of Imperial life and commerce, with a sector fleet consisting of four antiquated Dreadnoughts and some smaller ships, and limited resources of all sorts."

―Carlist Rieekan^[2]

The Candoras sector was a sector located in Outer Rim Territories of the galaxy, located near the Unknown Regions.

History

"Governor Ferrouz is offering a very intriguing deal: a full-fledged base for the Alliance, complete with logistical support, docking facilities, and one of the finest natural supply depots in the galaxy..."

―Vestin Axlon^[2]

Located near Wild Space and Unknown Regions, the area that would become the Candoras sector was considered by the Galactic Republic as a bulwark against potential threats from both those areas.^[2] The Candoras sector was a freestanding subsector during the Imperial Period,^[1]^[3] meaning that its boundaries were charted and the sector was formally established sometimes after the reorganization of the regular Imperial sectors subsequent to the Declaration of a New Order.^[4]

During the Galactic Civil War, it was overseen by Governor Bidor Ferrouz and defended by the Candoras Sector Fleet. In 0 ABY, Ferrouz contacted the Alliance to Restore the Republic to offer the Rebellion a base in the sector.^[2]
