Name It, Claim It Law was a term used for a Republic planetary development decree that allowed an individual to take control of star systems by locating them, performing a life-form scan, and filing for development rights.^[1] Infamously abused by the Corporate Sector during the Old Republic era, this law caused a notable charting of new systems and planets on maps and asset lists, but added little beyond surface level knowledge of worlds.^[2]
