Legend

this galactic conglomerate was created from the various leaders of the Velcar Free Commerce Zone and led by Imperial Moff Ardus Kaine. The Alignment controlled a section of the galaxy named for it, and controlled all access to and from the planets, in conjunction with the Velcar Free Commerce Zone commissioners. The basis for the Pentastar Alignment was the former Imperial government of Emperor Palpatine, although it was warped to conform to Kaine's own vision of the Empire. Built from the outcome of the Pentastar Talks, the Alignment had two major factions, the Chamber of Order and Enforcement. The Order faction controlled the Politorate, Insurrection, Judgement, and Protectorate divisions. Enforcement controled the regulation and enforcement of laws and public allegiance, and was in command of the Alignment's police force, the Pentastar Patrol. While essentially effective, the Pentastar Alignment remained Moff Kaine's personal agenda, and failed to stand up to the pressure of maintaining galactic control. Kaine eventually allied the Pentastar Alignment with Admiral Pellaeon and the Imperial Remnant.
