The Pentastar Alignment (TPA) is a Galactic Government in the Star Wars Combine. It started as the BlasTech Industries and joined the Empire in a City-state agreement that turned it into the Imperial Outer Rim Authority. After official vote in the ranks of IORA, it declared Independence from the Empire and became the great BlasTech Corporation. But after it was decided that the vast power of the BlasTech Corporation should be concentrated into one ruling body, the Pentastar Alignment was born. Today it is well known as one of the biggest and strongest factions in the Galaxy, spanning its territories and military power in the Outer Rim region of the Galaxy.
