Pentastar Alignment

The Pentastar Alignment, also known as the Pentastar Alignment of Powers, was a corporatist dictatorship in the Outer Rim of the galaxy, with its capital based on Entralla. Largely isolationist, with the New Republic for the most part ignoring the Alignment. However, in 12 ABY, the Pentastar Alignment was annexed into the Imperial Remnant, the remnants of the Galactic Empire.

The Pentastar Alignment was formed from a Imperial splinter faction led by warlord Ardus Kaine in what was the "Velcar Free Commerce Zone" in 4 ABY after the Pentastar Talks. Upon its creation, the Pentastar Alignment sought not to join the newly-formed New Republic and be left alone without interference from it.

In 8 ABY, the Pentastar Alignment contributed some forces to Grand Admiral Thrawn, but did not formally join him during his campaign in 9 ABY. One year later, the resurrected Emperor Palpatine began to reunite various Imperial splinter factions, as part of pre-Operation Shadow Hand, in an effort to topple the New Republic. The Pentastar Alignment allied with Palpatine's resurrected clone. However, Kaine was killed by the Republic during the campaign over the planet Palanhi, leading to it being weaken and finally absorbed into the Imperial Remnant.

The Inquisitor Jerec served as a major figure within the Pentastar Alignment.
