Matra VI was a relatively isolated planet located in the Corporate Sector. It was a successful industrial world, and was populated largely by non-Human species. These aliens were drawn by the potential for a new life in the Corporate Sector, away from the predations of the Galactic Empire. While the Corporate Sector Authority was often just as harsh with non-Humans, on Matra VI many of them managed to grow quite rich, while still remaining removed from the upper echelons of the world's highly stratified society.
