Legend

known as the Ancient and Honorable Union of the Tion Hegemony, this sector of the Tion Cluster was a collection of 27 star systems found among the furthest reaches of the galaxy. It was far from the Core Worlds, but embraced some of the oldest and most ancient human civilizations in the galaxy. During the early years of the Old Republic, the Tion Hegemony was ruled by Xim the Despot. Before Xim, the Livien League controlled the Hegemony. As the Republic grew and the Tion Hegemony was "liberated," the sector saw a decline it its fortunes. However, the Hegeomny remained the breadbasket of the Tion, providing foodstuffs for all three of the Tion's sectors. When Emperor Palpatine rose to power and instituted the New Order, the Tion Hegemony was torn asunder. The Keldrath Alignment and the Indrexu Confederation were removed and incorporated into their own sectors, while the remaining areas of space were split into the Allied Tion and the Cronese Mandate. What remained of the Tion Hegemony was a mere shadow of itself, a fact made all the more humiliating when the Hegemony was only given a minor presence on the Imperial Senate. The Tion Hegemony, being so far from Imperial control, became a home to many out-of-work smugglers, swindlers, and con artists who were trying to improve their lots in life. Han Solo even worked for Grigmin on the planet Saheelideel for many months, during the early years of the New Order. Note that Agents of Chaos: Hero's Trial states that the outer reaches of Hegemony were made up of 175 planets. Also note that Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds indicates that the Tion Hegemnony crumbled many thousands of years before the Galactic Civil War.
