Allied Tion sector

The Allied Tion sector was a sector located within the Outer Rim Territories. It was one of three sectors making up the Tion Cluster, along with the Tion Hegemony and the Cronese Mandate.

History
Circa 25,000 BBY, the Allied Tion was part of the Honorable Union of Desevro & Tion and Jaminere Marches, some of many fiefdoms that formed the remnants of the empire of Xim the Despot. Most of the worlds of the Allied Tion were settled during the Expansionist Era or in the early period of the Galactic Republic. The sector was created when the Tion Cluster joined the Galactic Republic circa 23,900 BBY.

In the Republic's final years, the Cluster joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Several battles were fought here during the Clone Wars when the sector was contested between the Separatists and the Republic.

During the Galactic Civil War, the Allied Tion was actively patrolled by the Imperial Navy, including the Warlord, because of the volume of trade, and also because of its vital strategic importance to the Empire, both as a supply base and because of its location on the main hyperlanes between the Core Worlds and the Corporate Sector.

After the Battle of Endor, the sector and the entire Cluster integrated Zsinj's Empire. They stayed under Zsinj control until his death in 8 ABY, claimed independence from the New Republic and the Galactic Empire, including during the Thrawn campaign.

During the events following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, the sector was under the rule of Moff Gronn.

Astrography
The capital of the sector was Jaminere, but the best known planet in the Allied Tion was Lianna, home of Santhe/Sienar Technologies. Other major planets in Allied Tion include Cadinth and Lorrad.

The Perlemian Trade Route passed through the Allied Tion in three star systems, making the sector significant both as a trading hub and link between the Core Worlds and the Corporate Sector, and as a strategic area.

Economy
During the Old Republic, the Allied Tion became the most active sector of the Cluster. During the Empire, it was a seat of manufacturing and trade and almost 15% of the galaxy's passenger liners hailed from the sector, presumably as part of Santhe Passenger and Freight. Indeed the Allied Tion was dominated by the Santhe/Sienar corporate family, based at Lianna.
