The Houses and the Freeworlds are not the sole domestic source of power in the Par'tha Expanse. The various large companies which operate in the region also have a certain amount of influence on political and economic decisions made in the sector.

The mining companies affiliated with the Mining Guild are by far the most powerful of these, but there are other companies which have enough "juice" to influence sector affairs, many of them high tech manufacturers and shipping firms.

Because the Empire has not yet begun to nationalize businesses in the Par'tha Expanse, it has become a haven for businesses in other parts of the Empire that wish to operate with a minimum of Imperial interference. The last fifteen years have seen a massive influx of businesses relocating their headquarters to the worlds of the Par'tha Expanse.

Whether a company settles in the Expanse Sector or the Freeworlds Region depends on the needs of the company. The Freeworlds offer greater autonomy, but are more vulnerable to Imperial meddling. The house worlds, in contrast, demand a greater say in company affairs, but offer in exchange protection against the Empire.
