Sector Group
A Sector Group was a formation comprising Imperial Military and intelligence assets belonging to the Galactic Empire in a sector of the galaxy. Each Moff commanded their Sector Group.
Each of the regional 1,024 sectors was assigned twenty-four Imperial-class Star Destroyers
located within the Imperial sphere,
operating as sector fleets. The Lothal sector fleet and Anoat sector fleet exemplify the fleets of a Sector Group. These forces enabled the Empire to extend across star systems to patrol them and uphold the will of the Galactic Emperor.
As the threat posed by the Alliance to Restore the Republic increased, the Star Destroyers became the primary means of enforcing the Emperor's will.
