Hyper-Communications Cartel/Legends

The Hyper-Communications Cartel was established by the Confederacy of Independent Systems to manage its private HoloNet channels. Supported primarily by the InterGalactic Banking Clan and Techno Union, who operated private HoloNet alternatives prior to the Clone Wars, the Cartel broadcast Confederacy propoganda and anti-Republic news on its signal.

After Po Nudo brought Ando and its loyal systems into the Confederacy fold, he and his aide Shi'ido were rewarded control of the Cartel.

The fate of the Cartel after the establishment of the Empire is unknown, but it was presumably folded into the Imperial HoloNet.
