During the time when in the neighboring Siwenna Sector the Empire fought its epic struggle against the PdI , the Aldebaran Sector was only sparsely populated . About 15 human colonies were the only sign of civilisation in the whole sector , except of some trade posts of Independent Merchants and some Imperial watch stations . Until today there has no dominant system developed in the Aldebaran sector , as the planets form a collective union now , there often just referred to as " The Cluster " .

The Aldebaran Sector Cluster is politically a parliamentary monarchy , in which the power lies with the parliament and the cabinet .

About 3200 G.E. , refugees from the devastated Siwenna sector sought shelter and new homes in the Aldebaran Sector .

Important planets of the emerging sector turned out to be :

Satrape , third planet of  the Beta Teci system . A strong streak of Levantine influences is noticeable until today , it's a trade planet , everything from High - Tech to camels and second - hand virgins for the sector's bordellos .

Noisette and New Cannes , twin planets in the Cardan system , are often  called the " New Riviera " , they are tourist and resort planets with great natural beauty , a Galaxy - renowned local cuisine and home of about 100.000 little islands , complete with palm trees and sandy beach which are often pied-a-terries for the rich and famous when they have a holiday or are rented out short - term . Albacalou is a little more on the expensive side , Antaloupe is very popular with families .

Fintan , a colder planet , known for fine mechanics , has a long fishing tradition . Sole a la Fintan is s standard in every good Galactic restaurant .

Zorica is a financial center for the sector . It's location is very central and therefore is also often used as a conference and meeting planet .

Lignana , the fourth planet of the Garibaldi system celebrates the civilisation of Italy ( a former planet close to the mystical " Earth " as they claim ) . A very Mediterranean climate makes the planet also a prime choice for fine manufacturing , like leather , silk and tatot .

Catapran is one of the last colonialized planets in the sector . Because of its assumed " neutrality " , it was chosen to become the political and governmental center of the sector . This principle is also expressed in the planet's name , in an old dialect it means " none " , as in no one's sole property .

At the present time , Catapran serves as the main diplomatic planet for the Galactic Eastside , as does Benedictine for the Westside of the Galaxy within the USO .
