Senex sector

Adjacent to the Juvex sector and near the Ninth Quadrant, the Senex sector is ruled by an elite group of ancient, aristocratic Houses. The sector contains the Senex system and the planet Karfeddion, and apparently Veron and Mussubir Three as well. Yetoom and Belsavis are located on its edge. The Ancient Houses and their Lords are very independent, desiring to rule their planets as they see fit and scorning any interference from outside governments. They were largely left alone under Palpatine's rule, and neither the post-Endor Empire nor the New Republic have been very successful in influencing them. The Senex Lords have long been accused of mistreating their workers and violating the Rights of Sentience. The oldest of the Houses is House Vandron, headed by Lady Theala Vandron, which operates slave farms on Karfeddion. The House Elegin is headed by Drost Elegin, and the House Garonnin gets a large portion of its revenue from strip-mining asteroids. The sleek Mekuun ships called Tikiars are often favored by the aristocrats of the Ancient Houses. The Senex system once held an Imperial training area. Before the Battle of Yavin, a new Alliance recruit accidentally hypered into the area in his X-wing, and destroyed most of the training facilities before realizing his danger and hypering out. Eight years after the Battle of Endor, Stinna Draesinge Sha, a pupil of Nasdra Magrody's, was assassinated in the Senex sector in House Vandron territory. Later that year, many of the Senex Lords met with Roganda Ismaren on Belsavis with the intent of forming a military alliance. [COTJ, FP]
