Coruscant Port Authority

The Coruscant Port Authority, also written as the Coruscant port authority, was an organization that operated on the Imperial capital, Coruscant. Its responsibilities included logging shipments and in 1 BBY, Senator Bail Organa tried to blame confusion around a missing shipment of UT-60D U-wing starfighter/support craft on a potential mislogging by the authority in a letter to Imperial Security Bureau Chief Inspector Axvering. In 3 ABY, the Coruscant Port Authority introduced new tax models on the import of organic material to try and stifle an oversaturated market.
==Description==
The Coruscant Port Authority, also written as Coruscant port authority, was an organization that operated on Coruscant, capital of the Galactic Empire, during the Imperial Era. The authority's duties included taking record of shipments arriving on Coruscant and the implementation of import taxes.
==History==
In 1 BBY,In Star Wars: The Rebel Files, the files mentioning the acquisition of UT-60D U-wing starfighter/support crafts are set between the defection of Bodhi Rook and the Battle of Scarif, both dated to 1 BBY by Star Wars: Timelines. a shipment of UT-60D U-wing starfighter/support craft that departed from Aldraig in the Alderaan sector was stolen by the Alliance to Restore the Republic before they reached their intended destination of Coruscant, resulting in there being no record of their arrival there.
Chief Inspector Axvering of the Imperial Security Bureau investigated the disappearance and sent numerous questions to the Alderaan sector's senator, Bail Organa, regarding the incident. Organa, who had in fact organized the theft as a leading member of the Alliance, responded in a letter to Axvering in which he suggested that the confusion may have been caused by the Coruscant Port Authority mislogging the shipment, resulting in the lack of an arrival record. The letter mentioning the Port Authority was then shared by Organa with fellow rebels Mon Mothma and General Airen Cracken and later stored in the collection of documents known as The Rebel Files.
In a new effort to stifle an oversaturated market in 3 ABY, the Coruscant Port Authority introduced new tax models effecting the import of organic wares. These models increased the tax on some items by up to fifteen percent. After they were announced, these new models were covered by reporter Dorna Parros in a HoloNet News broadcast.
