The Corellia Corporate Council functioned as a policy-forming body, comprised of delegates appointed to each governmental board on Corellia. This world was largely controlled by massive, interstellar corporations, which generated trillions of credits, a sizable portion of which was collected by the local government. Ostensibly, their purpose was to foster galactic commerce, but in reality, they privately lobbied to curtail governmental oversight of business and secure advantageous tax reductions. Consequently, it was commonplace for each council chairperson to face allegations of corruption during their tenure.
