Summary
|
The Ord Mantell Central Authority was the primary government of the planet Ord Mantell during the Cold War.Ord Mantell was once considered a vital supply depot for the Republic military, but the discovery of new hyperspace lanes virtually eradicated the need to route fleets through the planet's local star cluster. The ordnance engineers and military families formerly occupying the planet transferred to distant outposts, and Ord Mantell was abandoned to farmers.The old military-grade spaceports were never decommissioned, however, and it didn't take long for private interests to take them over. In addition to corporations like Czerka, less savory factions from the galactic underworld set up shop. Small-time criminal gangs took advantage of the planet's lack of strong Republic oversight and became thriving operations.These gangsters and corporations have invested heavily in the world's government. Many of Ord Mantell's major political figures are indebted to their corporate and underworld "sponsors," and although some of these leaders have left office in disgrace, it has not discouraged the wealthy and unscrupulous from purchasing political influence. Other politicians have pledged to clean up corruption - rarely succeeding for long, despite noble intentions.Following the Great Galactic War, Ord Mantell sought to remain within the Republic. However, popularity of the Ord Mantell Central Authority undermined efforts to form closer bonds with the Republic. Corruption played a key role in the Central Authority's ability to work with the Republic. Disgusted the corruption among government officials, some on Ord Mantell began a separatist uprising. It's own army was not enough to contain the separatist threat, and the Central Authority asked the Republic to intervene. Read more... |
