| - Sector Plexus was a bureau within Imperial Intelligence. Sector Plexus was a decentralized, dispersed bureau that handled 99.95 percent of all communications generated by Intelligence. The Sector Plexus was responsible for coding, categorizing, transmitting, storing, receiving and decoding messages from across the galaxy. Sector Plexus stations are located throughout the galaxy; they are small installations which bely the amount of data they deal with on a daily basis, and their hidden locations are the primary method of security. Sector Plexus was responsible for assigning each agent or branch office with its code numbers and sequence, as well as the PSEGs required to send, receive, and read Imperial Intelligence scandocs. Messages sent through the Sector Plexus were transmitted on multiple conduits. This method of parallel transmission ensured that the message would reach its intended destination even if enemy agents destroyed a few of the conduits. In addition, the message continued to be transmitted after reaching its final destination, making tracking the sender or recipient of the message almost impossible. When multiple copies of a message were transmitted and received, some of which may have been damaged in transit through enemy action or natural occurrence, Sector Plexus computers assembled the message and compared all version to create a near-as perfect copy of the original message.
- Sector Plexus was the heart of the information system for Imperial Intelligence. While none of the bureaus were completely centralized, Sector Plexus was the most dispersed. Equipped with the most advanced communication computers and equipment in the galaxy, Sector Plexus conduits handled better than 99.95 percent of all Imperial Intelligence communications. The Plexus encoded, categorized, transmitted, stored, received and decoded more messages in a single standard day than most planetary communications nets would transmit in over 800 standard years. Sector Plexus assigned each agent or branch office its code number and sequence, and Plexus computers compute and send agents the PSEGs (see How to Read an Imperial Intelligence Scandoc) they were most likely to need. There were typically half a dozen PSEgs for a field agent, 5,000 for a typical branch office agent, and better than a million for a high ranking official of a bureau. Sector Plexus recorded and updated all PSEgs according to a complicated security algorithm. If a transmitting agent's PSEG was sufficiently out of date, even if the message was encoded properly, the computers would transfer the message to a Plexus officer who decided whether or not to authorize the sending of the message. These officers would often route copies of messages which were the slighest bit suspicious to IntCon, Renik and the Ubiqtorate. When a message was sent through the Plexus, it was copied and transmitted to at least two different conduits at each link along the way. Each Sector Plexus staion was a surprisingly small affair, and while they were well hidden, their security is far from guaranteed. If enemy forces destroyed a few Plexus conduits, parallel transmission would allow the message to get through despite the loss. Lower priority messages were sent on less secure channels, and only two copies of each message were transmitted from each conduit. But there were five or more links along the message path before transmision to the final destination, and the message was transmited to additional conduits even after the message had been received at the final destination. This meant the message was routed to thousands of places, only one of which was the actual destination. Even if a message was intercepted, enemy agents had a slim chance of discovering the location of the initial sender or the recipient; the chain was too long. Sending message over many links took time, so higher priority messages were sent over more secure channels and fewer links, but there copies of each message was sent frm a single conduit to better protect against the destruction of Plexus conduits. When copies of a message were transmitted, there could have been many reasons for errors - power fluctuations during transmission, sginal degradation over long range, interference from other beamcasts or star activity. The message may have been interrupted by a message of higher priority. The comptuer may have received readings which indicated enemy sensors were sweeping the area for evidence of transmissions, and quickly stop transmissions. When the message reached the final conduit, the Plexus computer assembled and compared all received versions of the message, and synthesized them into the message most likely to be an exact copy of the original. The computer then generated the authenticity code for the message - the more secure the channel and the fewer deviations between copies of the message, the higher the authenticity code.

La Alianza Rebelde estaba segura de que el sector mantenía una inmensa base de datos con valiosa información sobre los oficiales de inteligencia imperiales, los seudónimos que éstos utilizaban y los contactos que tenía cada seudónimo. Los grupos del sector Plexus utilizaba frecuentemente droides de almacenamiento y transcepción I2-CG para transportar datos importantes. Uno de esos droides obtuvo datos lo bastante valiosos como para provocar la batalla de Goratak III cuando la Alianza intentó recuperarlo. Contrariamente a lo que cabría esperar, el sector Plexus no era un sector en el sentido de una agrupación de sistemas planetarios controlados por un mismo gobernador.
