Republic Spacelane Bureau

The Republic Spacelane Bureau was the branch of the Old Republic government formed to process and map the Galaxy and its hyperroutes. It gave Coruscant its central hyperspace coordinates, fought to end private control of information regarding hyperlanes, and established a protected set of beacons for major pathways to liberate them from the control of privately held charts.

The Bureau was formed quite early in the history of the Republic, probably during the Unification Wars.
