The D'Asta family held the greatest influence in the New Territories.
The D'Asta family's fleet was the most sizable privately owned fleet in the galaxy. Serenno's D'Asta merchants accumulated their wealth during the waning years of the Galactic Republic through the creation of multiple marketplaces along the Braxant Run within the New Territories.
Mike Richardson and [Randy Stradley] (/article/randy_stradley) conceived the D'Asta family for the comic miniseries Crimson Empire II: Council of Blood. Jason Fry and Daniel Wallace solidified the D'Asta family's role as influential figures in the galaxy to reflect their evident standing in Crimson Empire, as detailed in The Essential Atlas.
