Sector Description: Perched in the galactic north west between the Outer and Mid Rim along the old Hydian Way super-hyperroute, the Alphecca sector has a long history of successive waves of colonization, conquest, and abandonment. Its unusual and sometimes erratic hyperspace lanes have historically made the sector harder to explore or control, and it remains frustrating slow to navigate even in the current day- its twenty charted systems are connected by circuitous routes and it can take 2-3 days to get from one end to the other.

Once part of the traditionally independent Mandalorian Empire, Alphecca was brought under the control of the Old Republic during a series of conflicts known as the Mandalorian Excision. The sector would not see much change in the following centuries until the Clone Wars, as both the separatists and Republic re-evaulated this previously forgotten sectors strategic importance.

A short campaign was waged by the Grand Army of the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems for control of the sector, with two major naval engagements and three large ground deployments. Both entered the sector from opposite sides, with the Separatists having a short lead in what would be characterized a race to claim the most ground and cut off the opposing force from taking strategic hyperspace routes. The battles to control or, in the Separatists case, destroy food production became the turning point for the conflict, with a resounding Republic victory on the planet Alphecca leading to a general Separatists withdrawal. Separatist forces were quick to delay and deny any resources to their opponents however, resulting in major damage to Alphecca's infrastructure that it is still grappling to deal with in the present day.

Traditionally many of the systems in the sector had self sufficient agricultural focused economies, but after the re-organization of the New Order the sector is known for exports of raw material like lommite, tibanna gas harvested from local gas giants, gemstones and hyperconductive materials.
