Bothan Primacy

The Bothan Primacy is a client-state of the Imperial Protectorate.

History
After the rise of the Imperial Protectorate at the Battle of Coruscant, defeated New Republic Admiral Cilas Hehl'new was captured and held as a prisoner of war. The Protectorate recognized the potential bargaining chip they possessed and established negotiations with the Clan Combine who vehemently demanded the release of their esteemed and reputatable comrade.

The Clan Combine remained stubborn in it's demand for the unconditional release of Cilas, constantly brushing aside the continued assertion of a union between the two governments and flexing it's growing military, until the Ascension successfully captured Coruscant. Concerned with this new threat and under the advisement of Cilas, the Clan Combine opened negotiations and initiated compromises with Cilas speaking on behalf of the Bothan people and their interests.

The result of these talks led to the creation of the Bothan Primacy, a client state under the Protectorate, which maintains a degree of Bothan independence while forging stronger ties economically, politically, and militaristic in nature with the Protectorate with none other than Cilas Hehl'new acting as the First Minister.

Astrography
The Primacy's territory lays within Bothan Space, located in the Mid Rim between Hutt Space and the Corellian Run hyperspace route, with Bothawui as the capital, majority of the other member worlds are Bothan colonies that fall under Clan Combine control. As a term agreed upon by delegates of the Clan Combine and the Protectorate, the Primacy was allowed further "breathing room" and as a result, Dressel, officially became the first non-Bothan world to fall under the Primacy.
