Quintad

The Quintad was the central legislature of the planet Eriadu in the form of an oligarchy of five powerful families. The Quintad families had originated from Corulag in the Core Worlds, but immigrated to the relatively insignificant Eriadu in 900 BBY. Under the Quintad's oversight, Eriadu was made into an industrial giant and one of the most prestigious planets in the Outer Rim, fulfilling the Quintad's desires to transform Eriadu into the "Coruscant of the Outer Rim."

Although consisting of five influential families, the Tarkin family was the most powerful and famous family of the Quintad, dominating politics in the Seswenna sector in the waning days of the Galactic Republic and throughout the reign of the Galactic Empire.
