Galactic Corporate Policy League

The Galactic Corporate Policy League were a public interest group of the Old Republic that seeked to overthrow governemnt restrictions on slavery, mining, free trade, and the like. They supported Senator Palpatine, and in response, once emperor he made them controlling members of the Corporate Sector Authority.

Behind the Scenes
The sourcebook that detailed the league stated that they supported Palpatine's bid for "Presidency;" petitioned him to limit government economic controls; and were made "founding" members of the CSA. All of these seem to be in conflict with later information from the Prequel era; Palpatine's election to Chancellor was too sudden to include outside campaigning; it has been stated that the Galactic Empire nationalized major industries (and the type of laissez-faire the League seems to have supported would likely have made the Separatists); and the CSA was founded 400 years before Palpatine's birth.
