The Galactic Corporate Policy League (GCPL) was a public interest and lobbyist group that sought to overthrow the Galactic Republic restrictions on slavery, mining, free trade, and the like.

Its members, composed of a secret cabal of plutocrats, supported Supreme Chancellor Palpatine and were rewarded by being made controlling members of the Corporate Sector Authority after the Clone Wars upon becoming Emperor of the Galactic Empire.

Behind the scenes

The sourcebook that detailed the league stated that it supported Palpatine's bid for "Presidency;" petitioned him to limit government economic controls; and were made "founding" members of the CSA. All of these seem to be in conflict with later information from the Prequel era; Palpatine's election to Supreme Chancellor was too sudden to include outside campaigning. Additionally, sources refer to the CSA as early as 26-27 BBY, at least eight years before it was formed from the GCPL.
