This Sector is where the Pentastar Alignment is located.

Pentaster Alignment
The Pentastar Alignment is a group of worlds in the Outer Rim, in the Velcar Sector, forged into a protective federation after the Battle of Endor by Grand Moff Ardus Kaine. Kaine, Moff of the Outer Rim Territories following the death of Grand Moff Tarkin, saw the Empire's defeat as an opportunity to form a new Empire under his own rule. He called a meeting, dubbed the Pentastar Talks,
aboard his Super Star Destroyer Reaper with Imperial officials and representatives from two large private corporations. The
resulting Alignment encompasses hundreds of planets, including the Velcar Free Commerce Zone (containing Capza, Entralla,
and Bextar) and the worlds Jaemus and Criton's Point. While many aspects of the Alignment are very similar to those of the old
Empire, some notable differences exist-- the Alignment's legislative arm, for instance, has two primary factions: Order (including
the Politorate, Insurrection, Judgment, and Protectorate branches), and Enforcement, represented by the Pentastar Patrol
police force. The New Republic has done little to oppose the Pentastar Alignment since its formation, but mercenary groups
such as the Red Moons have secretly worked to sabotage its operations. Pirates and freebooters have also become an
increasing problem within the Alignment.

Jaemus System
A system in the Velcar Sector that is part of the Pentaster Alignment.
Criton's Point
An isolated planet within the Pentastar Alignment, Criton's Point is located far from any major hyperlanes. Its arid, desolate
surface is covered with ruins that could date from before the foundation of the Old Republic. Among the many ruins is the
mysterious Library of Xer, an ancient storehouse of information that has thus far resisted all attempts at translation. The planet is
zealously guarded by the Pentastar Alignment, which restricts all access to a small team of historians and scholars.
Jaemus
Located in the system of the same name within the Pentastar Alignment, Jaemus is home to a major shipyard and repair facility.
Almost as large as the massive shipyards at Sluis Van, the Jaemus yards are operated by Galentro Heavy Works and home to
branches of the massive Imperial suppliers Kuat Drive Yards and Sienar Fleet Systems. Both corporations are jointly
producing the Enforcer-class picket cruiser at Jaemus, for use by the Pentastar Alignment navy.
