A livewire administration system or LAS, was a computer entity designed to control the computer systems of an individual company, or multiple companies. They were eventually developed to serve in governmental roles. Two such known LAS's; Alas and Cabal developed to such a degree that they achieved sentiency during the Sith Crusade. The development of the LAS was closely associated with the development of Amalgamated computing personality, of which Cabal is the only known example.
