The Corellia Corporate Council was a political policy making coalition with representatives to every government committee on Corellia. The planet was dominated by galaxy spanning corporate interests that earned trillions of credits with the planetary government claiming significant share of those profits. While their goal was seemingly to promote trade with the galaxy, they actually negotiated in back rooms to limit government commercial regulations and negotiate favorable tax breaks. As a result, every council chairman had been accused of fraud at least once in their career.
