Sector 13

Sector 13 was a covert Galactic Republic intelligence agency founded by Supreme Chancellor Alcor Bac in 12,995 BBY. Created as a means to end potential insurgencies by the remnants of the Alsakan Union, a religious government destroyed in the Alsakan Crisis against the Republic, and, later, to damage the operations of the Hutt Empire during the Hutt War in 12,979 BBY. Republic officials denied the existence of Sector 13, as it operated outside of the jurisdiction of the Galactic Senate and reported only to the Supreme Chancellor.
