Legend

a diversified conglomerate headquartered on Sullust, SoroSuub manufactured such diverse products as food packaging, space mining tools, blaster weapons, and repulsorlift crafts. With its diverse portfolio of products, SoroSuub came to employ nearly half the entire population of Sullust in its laboraties and factories. When the New Order was spreading through the galaxy, the Sullustan Council was disbanded, and SoroSuub announced corporate proclamation 137d, stating that it was assuming leadership of the planet. Then, it declared that it would be fully supporting the Empire with its goods and services, and denounced the Alliance as criminals and malcontents. This occurred on the 62nd day of the Sullustan year 8,494. SoroSuub was also one of the original non-voting Contributing Sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority. All of this didn't sit well with many Sullustan employees, who saw the Empire for what it really was -0 a pro-human dictatorship. A well-planned coup was staged in the wake of the Battle of Hoth, which saw the pro-Imperial leadership of SoroSuub ousted in a quiet takeover. Following the Battle of Endor and the role of the Sullustans in it, they were able to retake control of SoroSuub and ally it with the New Republic. Corporate proclamation 137d was officially rescinded, and the Sullustan Council was re-established to control the planet Sullust as a separate entity from the SoroSuub Corporation. SoroSuub continued to be the planet's primary economic entity, and it shared civic duties with the Sullustan Council.
