The twenty Imperial Oversectors descend from the Priority Sector system established during the final years of the Galactic Republic. Each Priority Sector formed the territorial jurisdiction and headquarters of one of the Grand Army of the Republic's twenty Sector Armies. These were vast theatre commands encompassing numerous conventional sectors, not single-sector formations.
Under the Sector Governance Decree, the wartime territories received a parallel civil administration through twenty specially appointed Moffs. Following the Imperial Ascension, the Priority Sectors were retained as permanent Oversectors and their governors elevated as Grand Moffs. The old theatre headquarters likewise survived as unified Oversector Commands beneath which all assigned Imperial forces operate.
Oversectors do not replace the historic galactic regions or the conventional sectors within them. They form the Empire's highest territorial tier, coordinating sector governments, armed forces, strategic infrastructure, economic mobilisation and intersector security.
