The Candoras sector was an Outer Rim sector in the galaxy, located near the Unknown Regions.
Located near Wild Space and Unknown Regions, the area that would became the Candoras sector was considered by the Galactic Republic as a bulwark against potential threats from both those areas. The Candoras sector was a freestanding subsector during the Imperial Period, meaning that its boundaries were charted and the sector was formally established sometimes after the reorganization of the regular Imperial sectors subsequent to the Declaration of a New Order.
During the Galactic Civil War, it was overseen by Governor Bidor Ferrouz and defended by the Candoras Sector Fleet. In 0 ABY, Ferrouz contacted the Alliance to Restore the Republic to offer the Rebellion a base in the sector.
