The Korx home world was united long ago by a single corporate conglomerate. What humans might call libertarianism was the way of the Korx in its purest form. Its unregulated capitalistic system eventually allowed a single mega corporation to emerge that effectively owned all of the resources of the Korx world including the military.  As a result, technological and cultural progress stagnated for generations. Without competition, Korx society moved forward on inertia from its past achievements.

Everything is for sale in Korx society. Every resource, every service, everything one could possibly imagine -- and then some -- can be bought and sold. If there is a demand, the Korx will find a way to provide for it.  For this reason, the Korx tend to be found involved in every galactic war in some form as arms dealers and even mercenary soldiers on both sides.
