Legend

this law was enacted by the Galactic Alliance, in the wake of the defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong, some thirty years after the Battle of Endor. The DPRA basically stated that any being who could pilot a starship was free to seek out planets that had once been inhabitable, but had been damaged by Yuuzhan Vong terraforming. These planets had been deemed unusable, but over time it became obvious that life would slowly return to normal if left alone. Thus, these planets were able to be resettled within five years of the Galactic Alliance's victory. The Reconstruction Authority was then charged with overseeing the claims made by these new explorers, and ensuring that proper credit was given to the discovery of new worlds. Many feared that the Authority was being funded by wealthy corporations like RePlanetHab, in order to gain certain preferential treatment when it came to claiming rights, since corporate raiders always seemed to simply track independent explorers before jumping their claims.
