Imperial Champalan Marine Resource Collective

The Imperial Champalan Marine Resource Collective was a fishing company associated with the Galactic Empire that became one of the two main competing industries on the planet Champala. The collective overfished and poisoned the world's oceans while its rival, the Champalan Imperial Mineral Extraction Initiative, did similar to Champala's land. Both companies bribed Chagrian Grand Vizier Mas Amedda to ignore the destruction they caused.
==Description==
The Imperial Champalan Marine Resource Collective was a fishing company associated with the Galactic Empire.
==History==
During the Imperial Era, the Imperial Champalan Marine Resource Collective became one of two competing industries on Champala—the resort world home of the Chagrian speciesLead by Example—as early as 18 BBY. The collective significantly overfished the world's oceans and poisoned them while its competition, the Champalan Imperial Mineral Extraction Initiative, drilled and poisoned the landmasses. Both companies fought for priority over Champala's small number of spaceports, causing the ports to become congested and suffer from pollution.
The collective and the initiative both also paid a significant percentage of their trading profits, as well as ongoing bribes, to Grand Vizier Mas Amedda, a powerful Chagrian Imperial originally from Champala, in order to ensure he ignored the corporate destruction they were causing. After the collapse of the Empire, Amedda surrendered to the New Republic in 5 ABY,Star Wars: Timelines revealing the financial ties he had to the two competing industries on Champala during interrogation by the Republic. This information was recorded in a note titled Mas Amedda, Interrogation Note #254, which was stored in the New Republic Archives and later cited by the historian Beaumont Kin when discussing the companies in hisStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary book The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire in 35 ABY.
