The galaxy was changed by the Rakatan Infinite Empire and their Force-powered hyperdrive. When their empire fell, Corellian scientists reengineered the technology to function without the Force, reducing travel time between Alderaan, Corellia and Coruscant to a matter of days. This technology not only launched galactic exploration; it also led to the formation of the Galactic Republic. As they explored the Perlemian Trade Route they reached Ossus, and the Jedi Knights became guardians of the Republic.

Explorers found gravitational anomalies to the galactic west, so they forged the Corellian Run hyperlane, defining “the Slice” between it and the Perlemian Trade Route, where colony ships began settling habitable worlds. The Republic thrived in the Core and Colonies, with Ossus acting as a gatekeeper, preventing invasion from the Tion Hegemony and Hutt space. Over the next millennium, the Republic was forced to grow faster than planned as they were inundated with membership requests from independent planets seeking protection from the Hutt Empire.
