Freestanding subsectors/Legends

The freestanding subsectors were remote sectors of the galaxy that had not received proper sector status from the galactic government due to their recent exploration. Freestanding subsectors were usually poorly-charted territories located on the boundaries of the known galaxy.
==History and definition==
In 1000 BBY, the Ruusan Reformation reorganized the Galactic Republic space into 1,024 sectors, each of them being represented by a senator in the Galactic Senate. The Ruusan Reformation also prohibited the creation of new sectors. However, unknown territories beyond the borders of the Republic at the time of the Ruusan Reformation were charted in the next centuries and integrated to Republic space. Such regions were at first included in existing outlying sectors but it soon appeared that this situation would not be not be sustainable in the long run. The border sectors could not be allowed to expand exponentially as long as the Republic grew. The problem was finally addressed by the implementation of new sector-like regions dubbed freestanding subsectors. These new sectors were roughly organized in a similar manner than regular sectors, but due to the Ruusan Reformation limitations, they were not granted proper Republic sector status. Freestanding subsectors therefore did not have their own senators; their representatives reported to an associated sector senator.
After the Declaration of a New Order, Emperor Palpatine abolished the moratorium on the creation of new sectors and reorganized the Republic freestanding subsectors into new sectors. Later, new territories integrated to the Galactic Empire during the Imperial Period became freestanding subsectors. These Imperial freestanding subsectors were intended to be eventually added to existing or newly created sectors.

===Freestanding subsectors in the Galactic Empire===
The freestanding subsectors were remote sectors in Wild Space. They also contained several star systems in the western parts of the Expansion Region, the Mid Rim and the Outer Rim Territories, at the edge of the Unknown Regions.
====Wild Space====
The Farana Space and the Trianii Space were freestanding subsectors located in the north-eastern Wild Space that bordered the Corporate Sector. The Farana Space was ruled by the Ocsin and named after their homeworld of Farana. The sector also contained the Hull's Star system. Trianii Space was ruled by the Trianii from their homeworld of Trian. Trianii Space also contained the planets Brochiib, Ekibo, Fibuli, Monic, Perin and Pypin.
The Gradilis sector and the Maraqoo sector were freestanding subsectors located in western Wild Space which bordered the Unknown Regions. The Gradilis sector contained the planet Nirauan. The Maraqoo sector contained the Reo system.
====Outer Rim====
The Candoras sector was a freestanding subsector in the western Outer Rim that bordered the Unknown Regions. It contained the Poln and the Spillwater systems.
====Mid Rim====
The freestanding subsectors of the northern Mid Rim bordered the Unknown Regions and contained the planets Ankus, Burska and Voniss.
The Minyavi sector was a freestanding subsector located in the southern Mid Rim that bordered the Unknown Regions. It contained the Qaras system. Other freestanding subsectors of the southern Mid Rim contained the planets Gwar, Mhatma 5, Nopsin and Theal, as well as the Meria and Opitha Tren systems.
In the eastern part of the Mid Rim, far above the galactic plane,The Essential Reader's Companion the Sebaddon system was located in a freestanding subsector. During the Cold War, in 3650 BBY, the planet Sebaddon was classified as part of the Unknown Regions.
====Expansion Region====
The freestanding subsectors of the northern Expansion Region included the planets Escabar, Pesitiin, Roxuli and Thedavio VII.
The freestanding subsectors of the southern Expansion Region included the planets Aruza, Frewwil, Kayri III and Taloraan, as well as the Lequabis and Poviduze systems.
===Pre-Imperial freestanding subsectors===
During the Imperial Period, the number of regional sectors increased significantly. As a result, new sectors were created in the Outer Rim Territories by the Galactic Empire from former freestanding subsectors.
====Corporate Sector====
Soon after the Declaration of a New Order,The Essential Guide to Warfare the modern Corporate Sector was established by expanding a freestanding subsector. The original Corporate Sector, formed in 490 BBY,The Essential Guide to Alien Species encompassed several hundred systems, all devoid of sentient life.
Following the Emperor's rise to power, Baron Orman Tagge and the Galactic Corporate Policy League convinced Palpatine to dramatically expand the Corporate Sector to include nearly 30,000 systems. At the suggestion of Baron Tagge, the Corporate Sector Authority was created as the region's sole owner, employer, government and military.
====Hutt-dominated areas Rimward of Hutt Space====
By the final decades of the Galactic Republic, the Hutts held economic control over a large portion of the Slice. At the end of the Clone Wars however, the Hutts lost their sphere of influence Coreward of Hutt Space. In 19 BBY, following the end of the Sy Myrthian Insurrection, the Empire annexed the Kreetan Narrows in the pursuit of Separatist holdouts.
On the Rimward side of Hutt Space, the Empire also organized new sectors from Hutt Space and Wild Space systems.Lords of Nal Hutta One such sector was the Baxel sector, which was created from various freestanding subsectors. Formerly part of Wild Space, Teth became the capital of the Baxel sector and was given theoretical control of Hutt Space.
====Moddell sector====
The Zuma regions, the Inner Zuma and the Outer Zuma, were considered part of the Unknown Regions until the final centuries of the Republic. As these regions became more explored, what had been the Unknown Regions became Wild Space.
Around 50 BBY, when the Republic incorporated the Inner Zuma sectors, the Moddell sector was admitted as a freestanding subsector, with Annaj as its capital by default. Eventually, the Empire created the Zuma sector from various freestanding subsectors, including the Moddell sector.
