A formerly bustling trade and resort town, Corox Station fell on hard times when the more extreme environmental politicians gained power, as the town was not one of the few allowed to maintain their own landing facility or major transportation hub. As a result of these new restrictions the town shrunk quickly, loosing much of their normal revenue, and many people moved to the larger cities that still had such luxuries.
During the years before and during the Clone Wars and the local Faux Troubles, Corox Station had a slight resurgence, as it became a destination for those seeking to get farther away from the trappings of civilization, or the more watchful security forces of the larger cities. Hunters, wilderness enthusiasts, scientists conducting experiments on the flora and fauna, and those on the fringes of society began to travel to Corox Station, and to other similar communities on Selvaris, leading to a stabilization of their economies, mostly around tourism and escapism, with a small smattering of local events drawing interest as well.
With the rise of the Empire, and their growing interest in Selvaris and its out-of-the-way communities, Corox Station is a sleepy town that appears to be resting on a fault line, waiting for something to shake their world.
Government positions are all elected by a vote of the Locals in residence at the time of the vote. No specific term limits are dictated, but prolonged absence or incompetence can lead to a recall vote by the Locals in residence, or a call from a higher planetary authority to vote to fill such a vacancy.
The Mayor of Corox Station is often a figurehead position with little official direct power. It is the responsibility of the Mayor to be the face of the town.
The Judge of Corox Station has sole discretion to interpret the laws of Corox Station and decides the punishments to be met out for anyone found to have violated the laws.
The Police Chief of Corox Station apprehends law breakers, and enforces judgements made by the Judge.
